Set it up once. It keeps exploring for you.

Quail the Explorer is a hosted tool that finds real issues on your sites automatically, on your schedule. Nobody has to write or maintain a test suite, and spriteCloud's testers stand behind it.

Built for teams managing multiple sites, with no time to test them all.

Built by testers who've been at it since 2009.

Over 15 years ago, spriteCloud bet on test automation while most teams still tested everything by hand. Quail is our next bet. It comes from people who find bugs for a living, and it files them the way a tester would.

Set Quail up once per site and it explores on your schedule, finds what's broken and files it. Paste a URL and pick a schedule. No pipeline, no repository, no scripts.

Exploratory testing
It finds what you didn't think to test.

Point Quail at a site and it explores the way a curious user would: clicking through, filling in forms, trying the inputs nobody planned for. You choose what it looks for, from functional bugs to accessibility issues. Every issue it finds gets filed with steps to reproduce: what broke, how to see it again, and where.

Mapping checkout flow

Testing empty cart state

Bug found: discount code accepts negative values

Testing guest checkout

Bug: Discount code field accepts negative values Steps: Add item to cart, enter -10 in the discount field, apply Result: Total price increases instead of decreases

Fix verification
Know when a fix actually worked.

Turn on retesting and Quail rechecks every open issue on its next run. If the problem is gone, it marks the issue fixed and closes it, and it can email you when that happens. It also checks its own work: when something it flagged turns out not to be a real issue, Quail closes it as a false positive.

Runs on your schedule
Set it once. It explores on your terms.

Pick how often Quail checks a site: nightly, weekly, before a launch, whatever fits. It runs without anyone kicking it off and flags what it finds.

Scheduled: every Monday, 6am

Reporting dashboard
One place to see what's working, and what's not.

FAQ
Questions we hear a lot.
Do I need to write test cases?

No. Give Quail a URL, choose what to test for and start an explore. It works out the paths on its own.

What does Quail test for?

You pick on the Scope page: functional issues, accessibility and more. Choose one or two test types per run.

How long does a run take?

A quick explore takes about five minutes. Longer runs are available when you want Quail to go deeper.

Can I use it for several sites?

Yes. One account can hold several companies, each with its own projects and dashboard.
