What a run returns
Every TesterArmy run ends in one of three verdicts, with the video, screenshots, and per-step transcript attached.
- Passed
Every step completed and every assertion held.
- Failed
A step or assertion did not hold, and the report shows which one.
- Blocked
The agent could not reach a verdict because the environment, credentials, or seed data were missing; blocked runs stay out of failure counts.
Where they differ
KaneAI and TesterArmy both take a plain-English test. TestMu AI sells KaneAI as one SKU inside a testing cloud with separate execution plans, while TesterArmy charges by the run.
What a plan contains
KaneAI bills credits per agent plus HyperExecute minutes, and extra execution is a separate plan. TesterArmy bills runs, and one plan covers web and mobile.
Maintenance after a redesign
KaneAI self-heals its steps when the UI shifts and surfaces the diff. TesterArmy reads the screen on every run and has no diff to approve.
What a pull request triggers
KaneAI's Validate Pull Request, in beta, reads the diff and generates tests. TesterArmy's GitHub App runs the tests you already have on every pull request.
How the first run starts
KaneAI starts with a 14-day trial, and its cheapest seat bills annually for Kane CLI only. TesterArmy's free tier runs against your URL or build.
Side by side
TestMu AI brings a grid of 10,000+ real devices, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and export to Selenium or Playwright code. KaneAI is a real agent on top.
