Weeks of testing, done in minutes.

Status: Research Preview

Bytesalt is your AI QA teammate that reduces weeks of human testing to minutes. It complements your existing deterministic scripts (like Playwright and Selenium) by finding critical real-world issues in your application that instruction-based tests aren't designed for.

Overview

Most testing suites rely on an Instruction Layer — scripts that handle the strict validation of known paths. Bytesalt provides the Judgement Layer, using parallel AI agents to explore the unknown and evaluate your application through multiple specialized lenses, including:

  • UX & Visual: Visual regressions, high-friction user flows, and cross-browser or mobile device bugs.
  • Security Audit: OWASP vulnerabilities and data leaks.
  • Accessibility: Continuous WCAG 2.1 auditing.
  • QA & Regression: Complex workflows and logic bugs.

Simply provide a plain-English goal — e.g., "Test the checkout flow" — and the agents will explore your application to uncover the types of edge cases and regressions that deterministic scripts miss.

Install

macOS / Linux / WSL

curl -fsSL https://bytesalt.com/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://bytesalt.com/install.ps1 | iex

Quick Start

# Run your first test
bytesalt start "Test https://www.craigslist.org for usability on an iPhone. Check only above the fold. Report a single issue and stop. Do not explore."

Bytesalt distributes the job across parallel agents and provides a detailed report including the identified issue, its cause, impact, and a suggested fix.

How it works

1. Run the test — Trigger tests via CLI or CI/CD using plain-English goals; no test cases required.

2. Parallel execution — The task is distributed across parallel AI agents that simulate real user interactions simultaneously.

3. Actionable reports — Receive technical reports containing what broke, why it broke, and how to fix it.

Key capabilities

  • Judgement Layer — Agents explore the application dynamically to find edge cases that scripted tests never reach.
  • Autonomous Adaptation — Agents adapt as the product evolves, reducing the need for selector maintenance.
  • Platform Agnostic — Supports web applications, backend APIs, and distributed systems.
  • Private Tunneling — Securely test applications on localhost or staging without firewall changes.
  • Elastic Scale — Jobs scale automatically across a fleet of parallel workers.

CI/CD integration

Bytesalt can be integrated into any CI/CD platform that executes shell commands.
