GoQA is an AI-powered quality assurance platform that generates test cases from acceptance criteria, URLs, or screenshots and audits websites for accessibility, security, and performance issues.

Does GoQA write automation code?

No. GoQA writes test cases in Gherkin BDD format, an open standard you can implement in the automation framework you use.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free Starter plan includes 10 AI test generations and 5 website crawls per month, up to 200 test cases per request, and JSON, Excel and .feature export with no credit card required.

Is my data used for training AI models?

No. By contract with our AI providers, your inputs are excluded from model training and fine-tuning. All data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS.

GoQA vs Testim

Teams searching for a Testim alternative usually want one of two things: BDD-style test cases they can hand to engineers, or a way to generate tests without recording flows in a browser first. This page compares GoQA and Testim on the dimensions that matter for that decision, based on publicly documented capabilities at time of writing.

At a glance

Feature	GoQA	Testim
Primary input	Acceptance criteria, URL scrape, screenshot OCR, OpenAPI	In-browser recorder, AI locators
Output	Gherkin .feature, JSON, Excel	Testim test scripts, exportable code
Runners supported	None — you implement the cases in your own framework	Testim cloud runner, Selenium export
Live-site audits	WCAG (axe-core), Lighthouse, OWASP, SEO, broken links	Not a documented core feature
Free tier	$0 forever, 200 cases/request, 10 AI test generations and 5 crawls/mo	See vendor site
Enterprise	Custom pricing through sales	See vendor site

Where they overlap

Both products use AI to reduce the manual cost of producing UI tests. Both target web applications and produce artifacts an engineering team can review. If your goal is "fewer hand-written selectors," either tool moves you in that direction.

Both also recognize that human review still matters. GoQA gives you Gherkin to edit before anyone implements it; Testim surfaces an editable step list after a recording session.

Where GoQA is different

GoQA is authoring-first, not recorder-first. You can generate test cases from sources that do not require a working build:

An acceptance criterion pasted into the editor
A URL scrape of a staging environment
A screenshot processed with OCR
An OpenAPI spec for backend contracts

The output is Gherkin in eighteen-plus case types — happy path, negative, boundary, security, accessibility, performance, and others — exported as .feature, JSON, or Excel. From there, the cases are framework-agnostic: your team implements the same Gherkin in Playwright, Selenium, Cypress or WebdriverIO. You are not locked into a proprietary runner.

GoQA also bundles live-site audits. A single run in desktop Chromium can produce WCAG findings via axe-core, Lighthouse performance scores, OWASP-aligned security checks, SEO issues, broken links and page screenshots. That makes it useful as a pre-release gate, not only a test-case generator. See /ai-testing for the audit surface and /test-cases for the generation flow.

Where Testim may fit better

Testim is a stronger fit in two situations:

Recorder-driven QA teams. If your testers are non-engineers who already work by clicking through the app and want a managed cloud runner with AI-stabilized locators, Testim's recorder-first workflow is closer to that habit than authoring Gherkin from a spec.
Single-vendor execution. If you want one platform that hosts the test, runs it, and reports on it without integrating a separate runner, Testim consolidates that. GoQA assumes you bring your own framework, such as Playwright, Selenium, Cypress or WebdriverIO, on your own infra.

If either of those describes your team, Testim may be the better tool regardless of price.

Pricing comparison

GoQA publishes its pricing:

Starter: $0 forever, 200 cases per request, 10 AI test generations and 5 website crawls per month
Enterprise: custom pricing through sales, with unlimited generations, crawls of up to 50 pages, the Test Repository and unlimited teammates

Testim pricing is not publicly listed in a comparable form; see vendor site for current quotes. Full GoQA tier breakdown is on /pricing.

Migration notes

If you are moving from Testim to GoQA:

Export your existing Testim tests or step lists as a reference. You will not import them directly — the formats differ — but they are useful as acceptance criteria input.
Paste those criteria, or point GoQA at the same staging URL, and generate Gherkin.
Pick a framework and implement the step definitions. Most teams pick Playwright for new work; Selenium and WebdriverIO also work with Gherkin.
If you keep a test management system, export Excel or JSON and import it there; GoQA does not sync with other tools.

For migration help on larger estates, /services and /contact cover the assisted path.

FAQ

Is GoQA a drop-in Testim alternative? Not exactly. Testim runs tests on its own cloud; GoQA writes test cases that you implement in the framework you already use. Many teams keep their existing runner and replace only the authoring layer.

Can I use GoQA without writing Gherkin by hand? Yes. The AI generates Gherkin from acceptance criteria, a URL, a screenshot, or an OpenAPI spec. You review and edit the output before exporting.

Do live-site audits replace a separate accessibility tool? The WCAG audit uses axe-core, the same engine many dedicated accessibility tools use. It covers the automatable rule set; manual review is still required for full WCAG conformance.
