Tests That Fix Themselves: Auto-Fix for Flaky Tests

Tests That Fix Themselves: Auto-Fix for Flaky Tests

Test-Lab now repairs flaky and newly-failing Playwright tests automatically: AI diffs a failing run against a passing one, rewrites the saved test, and verifies it passes before applying it. Cut test maintenance and the cost of a brittle E2E suite. Now in beta on the Scale plan.

Tunnel Mode: Test localhost, staging, and VPN-only URLs through your own browser

Tunnel Mode: Test localhost, staging, and VPN-only URLs through your own browser

Test-Lab's runners live on the public internet, so out of the box they cannot reach localhost, staging behind SSO, or VPN-only URLs. The Tunnel extension routes a single run through your own browser, so the test reaches anything your machine can.
