Built by people who test software for a living
TestInspector did not come out of a product brainstorm. It came out of a decade of running other people’s test suites and watching the same failure keep wasting everyone’s time.

Why we built TestInspector
When you test other people's software for a living, you see the same pattern in almost every codebase you are handed. A suite that used to be trusted slowly stops being trusted, because a handful of tests fail for reasons nobody can reproduce.
What happens next is always the same. Someone re-runs the job. It goes green. The failure is never investigated, because investigating it is expensive and re-running is free. Then someone adds a retry. Then someone skips the test. And the suite quietly stops being evidence of anything.
The frustrating part is that the information needed to diagnose a flake is usually already sitting there, in the difference between the runs that passed and the runs that did not. It just takes patience nobody has at 6pm on a release day.
TestInspector is that patience, automated. It re-runs the same commit until the flake shows itself, reads the failures against the passes, names the cause, and proposes a patch scoped to the test. It does not quarantine, and it does not merge anything. You review it like any other diff.

How Astaqc works
The values the team publishes, which are also roughly the brief TestInspector was built to:
- Quality code. Tests are code, and deserve the same standard as the product.
- Always agile. Testing sits inside the development cycle, not after it.
- User centered. A green build that ships a broken experience is not a pass.
- Escalation in mind. A 24 hour response commitment when something breaks.
- Latest technologies and stellar infrastructure, so the tooling is never the bottleneck.
TestInspector is in private beta. Early access is going out in small batches to individual developers and small teams. Join the waitlist, or write to hello@testinspector.ai if you want to talk to a human first.
