Run browser tests on schedule, on demand, and on every deploy

ProductivityProjectsDeveloperAutomationMonitoring & Alerts

BugBug is a low-code browser test automation platform that lets teams record, manage, and run end-to-end tests without writing code. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can trigger test and suite runs on demand or on a schedule, poll run status, fetch detailed pass/fail results with screenshots, download compliance-ready PDF reports, and export test data to your analytics pipeline — all without anyone opening the BugBug dashboard.

PR smoke test gate with Slack failure alert

When a pull request is opened against main, the agent triggers a BugBug smoke suite on staging, waits for the result, and posts a pass/fail comment directly on the PR. If any test fails, the Slack #qa-results channel gets an alert with the failing test names and screenshot links — engineers fix issues before merge, not after deploy.

  • Marketing
    60 min / week
    Manual pre-launch landing page QA

    Marketers manually click through each landing page before launch to check forms, CTAs, and links — a process that takes 20 minutes per page and still misses edge cases.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent validates landing pages before every launch

    Support manually reproduces the reported bug, screenshots the failure, and writes up the Jira ticket with reproduction steps — 30 minutes per escalation on average.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent runs the failing test and files an evidence-backed ticket

    When a bug is reported in Slack, the agent finds and runs the relevant BugBug test, fetches screenshots and error details, and creates a Jira ticket with full reproduction evidence in minutes.

  • Human Resources
    25 min / week
    Manual HR portal checks before onboarding

    HR manually clicks through the onboarding portal before each cohort arrival to check that enrollment and document upload flows work — a 25-minute manual check per cohort.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent validates HR portal flows every Monday morning

    Before new hires arrive on Monday, the HR portal suite runs automatically and any broken onboarding flows are flagged to the IT team — new employees never hit broken forms.

  • Finance
    45 min / week
    Manual payment flow testing and report filing

    Finance manually clicks through the checkout and billing portal weekly, screenshots the results, and saves them to a compliance folder — 45 minutes every week for a process that should be instant.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent runs payment suite and archives compliance PDF weekly

    Every week the agent runs the payment-flows suite, downloads the PDF report, and logs it to the compliance archive automatically — auditable evidence maintained without manual effort.

  • Operations
    150 min / week
    Manual regression run scheduling and monitoring

    QA engineers manually trigger regression runs at end-of-day, check results the next morning by opening the BugBug UI, and post summaries to Slack by hand — 30 minutes every morning.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent runs nightly regression and posts results by 7 AM

    A scheduled agent task triggers the full regression suite at 2 AM, fetches the result, and posts a Slack digest before the team's standup — no one needs to stay late or babysit a run.

  • Legal
    30 min / week
    Manual compliance flow testing and evidence filing

    Legal and IT manually click through cookie consent, GDPR deletion, and accessibility flows before audits, screenshots the results, and files them in the compliance folder — hours per audit cycle.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent tests compliance flows and archives PDF evidence weekly

    The compliance suite runs automatically every Monday, PDFs are downloaded and archived, and any failure triggers an alert to the legal team — regulatory evidence is maintained continuously.

How to plug BugBug into Actionist

Pick the connection method that suits your environment.

Connect with your BugBug project API token to give Actionist agents programmatic access to run tests, fetch results, and export reports.

1
Locate your BugBug API token

Open your BugBug project and go to the Integrations tab. Your project API token is listed there.

2
Copy the token

Copy the token. When using it in HTTP requests, prefix it with 'Token ' (e.g. 'Token abc12345'). Actionist handles this prefix automatically.

3
Paste into Actionist

Paste the token into Actionist and click Test connection. Actionist runs a list call to verify access.

FAQs

Questions about BugBug + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to BugBug?
Go to the Apps tab, find BugBug, and click Connect. The recommended path is via API key — navigate to your BugBug project, open the Integrations tab, and copy your project API token. Paste it into Actionist with the 'Token' prefix (e.g. 'Token abc123'). Actionist runs a read-only list call to confirm the handshake before any test actions run.
What permissions does the agent need on my BugBug account?
Your BugBug API token inherits the permissions of the project it belongs to. For read operations — listing tests, suites, profiles, and fetching run results — the token needs read access. For write operations — triggering test runs, stopping runs, and importing test data — it also needs execute access. Generate the token from BugBug's project Integrations tab; it is scoped to that single project, so each project needs its own token if you manage multiple projects.
Can I connect BugBug to other apps in the same workflow?
Yes. BugBug is most powerful when combined with the tools already in your development and QA workflow. Common combinations: trigger a full suite run from a GitHub Actions event; post pass/fail results to Slack immediately after a run completes; log failed test details to a Jira or Linear ticket automatically; update a Google Sheets QA dashboard after each scheduled run. Any of Actionist's 200+ connected apps can send or receive data alongside BugBug in the same workflow.
What are the most common things agents do with BugBug?
The four patterns that come up most: (1) CI/CD gate — trigger a suite run on every pull request and block merge if any test fails; (2) scheduled regression — run the full 'All tests' suite nightly and post results to a shared Slack channel before the team arrives; (3) release readiness check — run a curated release suite and download a compliance PDF before cutting a tag; (4) flaky test triage — fetch run history for a specific test repeatedly over a week and log pass rates to a spreadsheet to identify unstable selectors.
Can I run the same suite against multiple environments (staging and production) without duplicating tests?
Use the Run suite action and pass a profile name with the --profile flag to override environment variables at run time. BugBug profiles let you define different base URLs, credentials, or feature flags for staging vs production — the same suite runs against both environments without duplicating tests. You can list available profiles first with List profiles, then pass the selected profile name into the Run suite action.
How do I handle flaky tests that fail intermittently in cloud runs?
BugBug's Auto-retry feature (Pro plan) automatically reruns failed tests up to a configured limit within the same suite run. When integrated with Actionist, you can also build a retry loop at the workflow level: the agent checks the suite run status, and if the result is 'failed', it triggers a targeted re-run of only the failed tests via the Run suite action with a filtered test list — giving you fine-grained control over retry strategy that goes beyond BugBug's built-in auto-retry.
Can I generate compliance-ready test reports for audit or release sign-off purposes?
Yes. The Download suite run report action fetches a compliance-ready PDF for any completed suite run. This is useful for audit trails, release sign-off documentation, and QA sign-off in regulated industries. The PDF includes pass/fail status per test, screenshots, timestamps, and error details. You can also export data in JSON or CSV format via the Export test data action for custom reporting pipelines.
Do cloud runs require my computer to be on? Can I schedule tests to run overnight?
BugBug's cloud runs execute tests on BugBug's servers — you do not need to keep your own machine running. Schedule a suite run for off-hours (e.g. 2 AM nightly) directly from BugBug's scheduling UI, or trigger it from an Actionist scheduled agent task. The agent can also poll the run status and notify your team via Slack once the run finishes — so your team wakes up to results without anyone staying late to babysit the run.
