Looks like an interesting service, but... 1. Testing isn’t always as easy as following a list of steps, and when it _is_ those get to be technical. Explaining those as text instructions could get harder than what most expect if they are to be useful. 2. This is a lesson learned from experience - unlimited plans rarely scale. Instead, they make those who would fit into an entry level (aka just a few tests) feel like they’re paying a premium and those who will fit a large plan not pay nearly as much as what they consume. Not only that, but when the founders realize this they’ll have to change it and users will be upset, so they’ll grandfather them and we’re back to the beginning. Side note: I love “breaking” new features personally and know it’s not a straight forward process. If all this aims to do is replace selenium I don’t see the need for it — selenium tests are very predictable where text-to-human isn’t. If it aims to go beyond, that can’t happen without real knowledge of the application. |

1. I completely understand, being a software tester for over 10 years. We are going to build in functions in the software that will make it easier for users.
2. The unlimited plan is limited in the launch phase to certain number of companies already. We are going to shutting down sign ups after hitting that level to avoid disappointment as you have mentioned.
3. TestRise isn’t a replacement for Selenium. While automated tests have their place, using real users with real devices brings up a lot more edge cases.
Would be great to hear your thoughts in detail and swap notes about your experience with prior similar services. I can be reached at analyn (at) testrise (dot) com
