Linear QA workflow with an AI QA agent
Linear-native teams: start now — the loop lands next. Straight answer: today, Linear is read-context. The agent knows your Linear issues and uses them as briefs. Sweeps and bug filing are Jira-first, with Linear write actions on the way. Everything else — suites, real-browser runs, graded verdicts — works for you today, in full.
What a Linear team gets on day one
Issues as context
Connect Linear and the agent can read your issues — titles, descriptions, acceptance criteria. Reference an issue in chat and its content becomes the test brief. No copy-paste.
Plain-English suites
Describe flows in English (or dictate by voice); the agent drives your real Chrome — logged-in sessions, behind VPN and SSO. Tests live as portable, human-readable YAML.
Graded verdicts with evidence
Every run is graded pass / fail / blocked with screenshots. Failures are re-driven by a stronger model before you see them; broken staging grades blocked, never failed.
Where the tracker loop stands
- Reading Linear — live. The agent pulls issue context into runs today.
- Sweeps — Jira today. Board sweeps by status or JQL run against Jira. If your org also runs Jira anywhere, the full loop is available there now. The Jira workflow →
- Filing and closing — Jira today. Deduped, confirm-gated bug creation with evidence, and close-on-verified-fix, currently land in Jira.
- Linear write actions — coming. Filing, closing, and cycle sweeps native to Linear are in progress, not live. We'd rather tell you that here than surprise you in a demo.
Read your issues
Issue context flows into test runs as the brief.
Sweep a cycle
Every completed issue in a cycle gets a bounded verification run.
comingFile and close in Linear
Deduped, evidence-attached issues; verified fixes closed automatically.
comingBuild the suite now. Inherit the loop later.
The valuable, slow part of adopting agentic QA isn't the tracker plumbing — it's the suite and the app knowledge. Both are fully live and both carry over the day Linear actions ship.
Author from your issues
Turn your critical Linear issues and flows into plain-English tests. The issue text you already wrote is most of the work.
Let it learn your app
Ingest your docs into retrievable playbooks. Login recipes, nav notes, and quirks are remembered org-wide — every run makes the next one better.
Run on every release
Real browser, graded verdicts, screenshot evidence, BYOK at-cost spend with hard ceilings. Your regression safety net is live before the tracker loop is.
Flip on the loop
When Linear write actions land, your existing suites and verdicts plug straight into sweeps, filing, and close-on-fix. Nothing to rebuild.
comingWhy is Jira first?
Our earliest design partners run Jira, so the write path — dedup, confirm gates, evidence attachment, close-on-fix — hardened there first. Linear support follows the same pattern rather than a rushed port.
Will I have to migrate anything when Linear actions ship?
No. Suites are portable YAML and app knowledge lives in your workspace. Tracker integrations sit on top; switching the loop on is configuration, not migration.
Can I be notified when it's live?
Yes — create a workspace and you'll see it in the changelog the day it lands, or talk to the founders about joining the design-partner program and shaping the Linear integration directly.
Don't wait on the roadmap to stop shipping regressions
Suites, real-browser runs, and graded verdicts are live today for Linear teams.
