Question 1

What is Plaintest and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Plaintest is an AI testing platform that automatically explores your web or mobile application, discovers all screens and flows, detects bugs, and generates real Playwright or Maestro test code. Just enter your URL and the AI does the rest — no test code to write.

Question 2

How is Plaintest different from Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium?

Accepted Answer

Unlike Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium where you write test code manually, Plaintest uses AI to automatically explore your app and generate tests. You describe what to test in plain English via a chat interface, and Plaintest creates production-ready Playwright tests you can export and run anywhere.

Question 3

Do I need to write any code to use Plaintest?

Accepted Answer

No. Plaintest requires zero code to get started. Enter your app URL, and the AI explores every page and generates tests automatically. You can also create tests by chatting with the AI in plain English. The generated Playwright tests can be exported if you want to run them locally.

Question 4

Can Plaintest test apps that require login?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Plaintest automatically detects login pages and uses credentials you provide securely. It captures the login flow and replays it before each test. Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.

Question 5

What is the best AI testing tool for web apps in 2025?

Accepted Answer

Plaintest is an AI-first testing platform purpose-built for modern web apps. It combines autonomous app exploration, AI-powered test generation, bug detection, accessibility auditing, and CI/CD integration. Start free at plaintest.dev.
