Home / Product / Execution EXECUTION

Real-browser test execution in your own Chrome

Runs in your real browser, not a lab. The agent drives your own Chrome. Real logged-in sessions, your VPN, your SSO — the exact environment your users and your bugs actually live in.

Run your first test →How it's secured

Why the real browser matters

Headless grids test a simulation of your app. Then release day arrives and the simulation was wrong: the SSO redirect, the VPN-only API, the session cookie your staging login sets — none of it existed in the lab.

  • Your Chrome, your profile. The agent operates the browser you already use, with the sessions you are already logged into. No test-user provisioning project before test one.
  • Behind VPN and SSO, by construction. It runs on your machine, on your network. If you can reach the app, the agent can test it — internal tools and pre-prod included.
  • Reads the page like assistive tech. Accessibility-tree-first reading instead of screenshot-everything keeps runs fast and model spend low; screenshots are captured where they count — as evidence.
  • Every step recorded. Each run produces a step-by-step trail with screenshots, so a verdict is never "trust me".

Powerful, and on a leash

An agent in your real browser needs real guardrails.

Confirm-gated tracker writesNothing is filed to Jira, and no issue is closed, without your confirm. Failures queue up with screenshot evidence; you review before anything touches your tracker.
Credentials encryptedAny credentials you store are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. And the whole stack self-hosts on Node and Postgres, so runs and secrets can stay entirely on infrastructure you control.

Where execution goes next

Today, execution is local-first by design — it is what makes VPN, SSO, and real sessions work with zero setup. Here is what we are building on top of it, stated honestly:

1

Cloud browsers

A managed runner in the cloud, so tests can execute without your laptop open. Same verdicts, same evidence trail.

2

Parallel runs

Fan a suite out across many browsers at once and collapse a regression pass from an afternoon to minutes.

3

Live view & takeover

Watch a remote run live, and grab the wheel mid-run when you want to steer — then hand control back to the agent.

Anything marked "coming" is on the roadmap, not live today. Everything else on this page ships now.
