Self-Service Billing, VIBE QA & Automated Test Discovery

We've integrated full Stripe billing so you can sign up, start testing, and upgrade when you're ready—all without talking to sales. Choose your plan, enter payment details, and you're live in seconds. No contracts, no procurement delays, no friction. This is how modern QA for startups should work: instant access, transparent pricing, and you control everything.

The new billing system includes subscription management (upgrade, downgrade, cancel anytime), automatic email notifications for billing events (payment success, renewal reminders, failed payments), usage tracking with overage protection, and a self-service customer portal where you manage payment methods, download invoices, and view billing history. Everything you'd expect from modern SaaS, now built into desplega.ai.

For teams practicing continuous deployment, this removes a major adoption bottleneck. Developers can start using desplega.ai immediately for personal projects, prove value, then upgrade the team account when they're ready—no permission needed to get started. For scaling QA teams, this means you can expand usage as your test suite grows without renegotiating contracts or waiting for procurement cycles. Pay for what you use, scale when you need to, cancel if you want—that's the flexibility modern teams expect. This directly improves developer velocity by eliminating administrative overhead from your testing workflow.

We've launched VIBE QA, a self-serve test creation tool that generates end-to-end tests while you describe what you want to test. Just tell VIBE QA "test the login flow" or "verify the checkout process", and it creates the test in real-time, running it live so you can see exactly what it's doing. It's like having a QA engineer pair with you, except it's instant and available 24/7.

VIBE QA includes live test creation (watch the test being built step-by-step), immediate execution (see results as the test runs), demo credits (try it free before committing), and automatic test registration (tests you create get saved to your test suite for regression). The interface shows you every action the AI takes, so you can verify the test does what you expect before adding it to your CI/CD pipeline.

For teams implementing shift-left testing, VIBE QA accelerates test creation from hours to minutes. Instead of writing test code manually or waiting for QA to write tests, developers describe what they built and instantly get regression tests. This enables small pull requests with automated test coverage—ship faster because you can create tests as fast as you write features. For technical debt QA situations where you need to quickly add test coverage to legacy features, VIBE QA lets you generate tests in bulk: describe each flow, watch it get tested, and build a regression suite in hours instead of weeks. The demo credits let you try it risk-free—see if AI test automation works for your app before committing.

We've built an automated weekly test discovery system that explores your app, identifies critical user workflows that aren't covered by tests, and suggests new tests to fill gaps. Every week, you get a curated list of test suggestions with a Tinder-style UI: swipe right to approve and add to your test suite, swipe left to skip. It's test coverage improvement on autopilot.

The discovery system uses AI to crawl your application, identify common user journeys (signup, checkout, profile updates, etc.), detect flows that lack automated tests, and generate test suggestions that match your app's actual structure. The Tinder UI lets you quickly review dozens of suggestions: see a preview of what the test does, approve good ones with a swipe, and build coverage fast. Approved tests are automatically added to your suite and run in your CI/CD pipeline.

For teams managing technical debt QA, this is transformative. Instead of manually auditing your app to find untested flows, the system does it automatically and tells you exactly what's missing. For scaling QA as your product grows, weekly discoveries ensure coverage keeps pace with feature development—new features get suggested tests automatically. The automation directly improves DORA metrics: better test coverage increases deployment frequency (deploy confidently because you caught regressions), reduces change failure rate (more tests = fewer production bugs), and accelerates time to product-market fit (ship features faster with confidence).

We've enhanced our self-healing tests system with Cohere AI reranking, making test fixes significantly smarter. When a test fails due to UI changes (button moved, selector changed, flow updated), the fix system now uses AI to rerank potential fixes by relevance, choosing the most likely correct fix instead of just the first match. This reduces false fixes and improves test maintenance accuracy.

The reranking system works by searching for similar blocks from your test history (blocks that worked before), using Cohere's reranker to score each candidate fix by semantic similarity to the current context, and selecting the highest-scored fix. This means fixes consider the full context (page state, previous actions, test intent) instead of just matching text. The result: fewer incorrect fixes, more accurate self-healing tests, and less manual intervention when tests break.

For teams battling flaky tests caused by UI changes, this dramatically reduces maintenance overhead. Tests that break due to routine UI updates get fixed automatically and correctly—no more waking up to broken CI/CD pipeline runs that require manual investigation. Better fix accuracy also builds developer confidence: when tests fix themselves correctly, you trust automation more and rely on it more heavily. This enables truly continuous deployment: tests adapt to changes automatically, so you ship UI updates without breaking your regression suite.

This week's releases collectively transform desplega.ai from a powerful platform into a completely self-service testing solution. Self-service billing removes signup friction, VIBE QA enables instant test creation, automated discovery builds coverage automatically, smarter fixing reduces maintenance, and faster AI makes everything snappier. Together, these capabilities mean you get value faster—from"I want to try this" to "this is running in production" in hours instead of weeks.

For QA for startups evaluating testing solutions, self-service drastically reduces evaluation time. Try it free with demo credits, see if it works for your app, upgrade when you're ready—no sales calls, no contracts, no friction. For scaling QA teams expanding test coverage, the automation (discovery, fixing, fast AI) means coverage scales without proportionally scaling headcount. You get AI test automation that actually reduces work instead of creating new maintenance burdens.

For executives concerned about account executive churn due to product quality issues, these self-service features enable proactive quality management. Developers can add test coverage immediately when building features (shift-left testing), automated discovery ensures nothing critical gets missed, and self-healing tests adapt to changes automatically. This prevents quality from degrading as you ship faster, supporting higher deployment frequency without increasing change failure rate—both key DORA metrics for engineering effectiveness.

With self-service infrastructure in place, we're exploring deeper integrations: Slack notifications for weekly discoveries (approve tests without leaving Slack), GitHub App integration (automatic test creation on pull requests), and analytics dashboards showing test coverage trends over time. We're also investigating smarter automation: AI-powered test prioritization that predicts which tests are most likely to catch regressions for specific code changes, and automatic test maintenance that fixes tests before they break (predictive healing).

We'd love feedback on these self-service features! How does VIBE QA work for your use cases? Are weekly discoveries finding valuable test gaps? Does the Tinder UI make coverage building fun? Reach out at contact@desplega.ai or try VIBE QA with free demo credits—we can't wait to see what you build!
