# QA Built for the Age of AI

BearQ agents act as always-on teammates, autonomously exploring and validating your application so you can ensure it works as intended.

Not another testing tool. Agentic QA.

## Scripts weren't made for this

Real software quality lives in the user experience: how the application feels, flows, and functions.

Manual testing was effective but slow. Automation made testing scalable, but brittle to change.

Then AI-coding pushed velocity beyond what automation scripts and people can handle alone.

QA wasn't built for AI. BearQ was.

## The new way to QA

BearQ turns QA into a living, learning system. Its agents continuously discover your application, validate it, update tests with every change, and expand test coverage.

### Discover

BearQ learns and maps your application’s user flows and intended behavior

### Validate

BearQ creates and executes tests autonomously

### Adapt

BearQ continuously evolves its test plans as your application changes

### Scale

BearQ agents work in parallel to expand test coverage instantly

### Explore your application’s behavior

BearQ Explorer Agent observes UI structure, navigation paths, and state transitions to build an internal model of how your application is meant to behave.

Zero-config discovery, UI & state mapping, Behavior model

### Test real user experiences

BearQ Tester Agent continuously validates complete user flows and outcomes based on its learned understanding of your application.

End-to-end flows, Outcome validation, Always-on execution

### Update tests as application changes

When interfaces or flows change, BearQ QA Lead Agent detects differences, re-explores changed flows, and updates its understanding and validation automatically.

Change detection, Self-healing, Automatic updates

### Expand test coverage instantly

BearQ agents work together to explore and test in parallel, enabling continuous QA without manual scheduling or maintenance.

Parallel agents, Automated regression, Expanding coverage

With BearQ I can come in in the morning, see tests that were written, and approve regression tests. It's a huge time saver...I would expect it can save 75% of my time.

BearQ helps Acoustic navigate throughout the application from the regression standpoint and exploratory testing in the UI that our intentionally created test automation is not going to cover. I'm excited to see what it might find.
