Frequently asked questions
Does QA Wolf own the tests?
No. QA Wolf states that customers own their test code, and its current platform generates standard Playwright and Appium tests. Earlier comparisons that claimed otherwise are outdated.
What is the main difference?
QA Wolf offers both a software platform and a full-service QA engagement. AegisRunner is a self-service managed product: it performs discovery, generation, review and execution, while your team owns product decisions and reviews the evidence.
Which is better for a team without QA staff?
QA Wolf full service may fit a team that wants people to own day-to-day QA operations. AegisRunner may fit a team that wants automation and a simpler self-service cost model without outsourcing the QA function.
