Welcome to Cofactor

Start here to verify your product works the way your users expect, from local to staging to production.

01In one sentence

Cofactor drives your real product like a user, verifies code changes with video evidence, and self-heals tests.

02What is Cofactor?

Cofactor is an AI-era QA platform that verifies your product works the way your users expect, from local to deploy. Code now lands faster than any hand-written test suite can keep up; Cofactor closes that gap by driving a real browser alongside your AI coding tools, turning every session into a deterministic trace, and keeping the suite green as your UI shifts.

03Start here

New to Cofactor? These get you from zero to a green check fast.

  • Quickstart — run your first test locally in a couple of minutes.
  • Concepts — the handful of ideas (Properties, flows, traces) the rest of the docs build on.
  • Glossary — quick definitions when a term is new.

04How Cofactor shows up

Cofactor meets your team where they are. No need to learn a complicated tool.

  1. Pairs locally via CLI. The agent drives a live browser from inside Claude or Cursor — clicking, typing, asserting — and records the run as a deterministic trace you can commit.
  2. Natural language. Anyone can chat with the Cofactor agent to build a test from natural language, or by dropping in tickets, PRD's or specs.
  3. Chrome Extension. Click through your application and our Chrome Extension will automatically build a flexible, self-healing flow.

06Connect your tools

Cofactor plugs into the tools you already ship with — pulling tickets, posting results, and authoring coverage where your team already works.
