Our take
Recommended — verified working and popular

Open-source self-improving QA agent for software teams. A test harness with memory. Write tests in natural language for web and mobile. agent-qa learns from every run, adapts to UI changes, and catches regressions before you ship. It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. With 891+ stars it's a community-endorsed, low-risk pick.

“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.

The self-improving Agentic QA harness with Memory

Write tests in natural language for web and mobile. agent-qa learns from past runs, adapts to UI changes, and catches regressions before you ship.

Docs | Quickstart

Features

  • Write tests in natural language for web and mobile: Define actions and assertions in human language while agents work from visible roles, labels, and screen state.
  • Self-healing test execution: When any sub-action, such as click, fill, or select, fails, agent-qa re-observes the UI and tries a different path in the same run. Tests recover from UI drift and flaky interactions instead of failing on the first broken action.
  • Self-improves with Memory: With every test run, agent-qa builds execution memory from product, suite, and test observations, then adds that context to future runs. agent-qa also curates memory from steps that were healed during execution, helping future runs avoid the same mistake.
  • Built for humans and machines: A polished dashboard and CLI for developers, plus MCP and skills for coding agents.
  • Accelerate runs with smart Cache: The action cache reuses validated plans across similar subsequent test runs, reducing planner work, token usage, and runtime overhead.
  • Run sandboxed hooks during tests: Run Node, Bun, Python, or Bash hooks in isolated Docker containers to set up environments, call APIs, seed fixtures, tear down state, or pass structured outputs back into the active test run.
  • Open source, reviewable QA: The harness is open source, and tests, configs, hooks, memory, and suite logic all live as version-controlled code, so every change can be diffed, reviewed, reused, and shared across teams.
  • Bring your own LLM: Run tests with the model of your choice via OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, Gemini, local or open-source models, and subscriptions like Codex and Claude Code.

Quickstart

Install the package:

npm install -D agent-qa

For Codex or Claude Code subscription auth, also install:

npm install -D @vostride/agent-qa-subscription-auth

Install Docker before using hooks. agent-qa runs hooks in a sandboxed runtime, and Docker is required for the Node, Bun, Python, and Bash hook containers.

Initialize agent-qa and install the runtime support you need:

npx agent-qa init
npx agent-qa install-browsers --chromium
# Mobile projects:
npx agent-qa install-mobile-drivers --all

Start the dashboard, complete auth, and run tests from the UI:

npx agent-qa dashboard --open

For the full setup flow, use the quickstart.

CLI

Run tests from the CLI:

npx agent-qa run tests/hacker-news-top-story.yaml

Docs

Install

🧩 Let your agent install it (recommended)

Install the catalog once, then DeepSeek Harness can find and install any plugin from this site automatically:

dsh plugin add dshbase-catalog

Then say "install agent-qa for me" — your agent finds it in the directory and installs it. Docs: dshbase-catalog · verified packs.

This plugin is GitHub source (not published to npm) — install it straight from the repo:

Web profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:vostride/agent-qa

Headless (CLI) profile:

dsh plugin --profile headless add github:vostride/agent-qa

Test report

Verified: L1 install + L2 load + L3 runtime from GitHub source on dsh 0.1.0-rc.6.

When to use it

Extend the agent's coding surface — give it a new tool, workflow, or integration so it handles a dev task it couldn't before.

Who it's for

Developers who want dsh to behave like a teammate on real codebases — editing, running, and verifying changes rather than just answering.

For developers — extending it

The tool/command surface is the seam: expose more of the SDK, add smarter context wiring, or tighten the loop between code changes and verification.
