    How does it decide what to test in a PR? And how does this code review tool connect with services that require configs? E.g. My checkout uses stripe, and for QA, we have a sandbox account connected.

      It uses code diffs + descriptions + issues as the base test plan (acceptance criteria + regression). You can then interact with it to shape it more towards what you want.

    How much of a difference are you seeing between this and existing static code analysis tools?

    • evanmarshall 5 hours ago ago

      Static code analysis is great but it misses a lot. Agents that read code make guesses about how code would execute, Ito makes a guess and then verifies it with runtime evidence.

    Does Ito support testing back-end only repos? Our repo layout is split up between back-end and front-end repos.

    • evanmarshall 4 hours ago ago

      Yes, but the tests and evidence won't include screenshots, it'll be more curl requests and logs.

    we're trying to build this ourselves with some qa skills. what's the benefit of buying?

      Our first POC was slow, expensive, and bad quality. It takes a lot of effort to build the infrastructure, memory layers, QA code gen fixtures and more to get it working reasonably well.
