You already know the problem

Regression work grows with every feature. Manual checking doesn't scale, but skipping it isn't an option.

The time problem

Every release cycle

Teams spend 2-3 days every release clicking through the same flows. It's the biggest bottleneck in the shipping process.

The risk problem

Every deploy to production

Bugs reach production because nobody had time to test everything before release. Manual coverage can't keep up with the codebase.

The cost problem

Every hiring decision

A dedicated QA hire is $100K+ and 3 months to ramp. Most teams need coverage now, not next quarter.

Sound familiar? Every growing web team hits this wall. Someone clicks through the same flows every sprint. It's slow, it's tedious, and things still slip through.

What it costs you: bugs in production, delayed releases, and a team stretched too thin to cover regression properly.

Slow releases

Manual regression adds days to every sprint

No visibility

No screenshots, no traces, no failure history

Repeated work

Same flows checked manually, every single release

How it works

Four steps to structured regression

Set up quickly with your staging URL and the flows you care about.

  1. 1

    Add your staging URL

    Point to your web app. No SDK, no code changes.

  2. 2

    Define critical flows

    Login, checkout, onboarding. The paths that matter most.

  3. 3

    Run checks

    One click. Every flow runs against your staging environment.

  4. 4

    See what broke

    Screenshots, traces, and classified failures. No guessing.

Results

Know what broke before you ship

Every run produces real artifacts, not a green badge and a prayer.

Failures classified

Regression, flaky, or broken locator, so you know where to look first.

Screenshots at every step

See exactly what the browser saw, captured automatically.

Full execution traces

Replay the failure locally without reproducing it by hand.

Flow history across runs

Track every flow over time: stable, flaky, or newly broken.

Playwright import

Your existing Playwright Playwright tests, running on schedule

Paste a .spec.ts file. Each test becomes a runnable flow. No rewrite, no migration.

user-flows.spec.ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';

test('User login', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto(
    'https://app.example.com/login');
  await page.fill("input[name='email']",
    'user@acme.com');
  await page.fill("input[name='password']",
    'secret');
  await page.click("button[type='submit']");
  await expect(
    page.locator('.dashboard')).toBeVisible();
});

test('Create project', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/projects/new');
  await page.fill("input#name",
    'Q4 campaign');
  await page.click(
    "button:has-text('Create')");
  await expect(
    page.locator('h1')).toBeVisible();
});

Skips complex patterns (loops, fixtures, helper functions) with a warning instead of a hard failure. You fix those by hand if needed.

CI/CD

Runs on every deploy

Wire one webhook into your pipeline. Every release triggers a full regression run, so you catch what broke before it reaches production.

# in your deploy pipeline
curl -X POST https://regresco.com/api/webhook/trigger \
  -H "x-api-key: $REGRESCO_KEY" \
  -d '{"projectName":"My App"}'

Copy-paste snippets for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Vercel, and bash are in your dashboard. A failed run fails the build.

Who it's for

Built for teams that ship fast with limited QA

If your team is doing manual regression and it's not scaling, this is for you.

A good fit if

  • B2B SaaS team with 5-50 engineers
  • Weekly or biweekly release cycles
  • A web app with critical user-facing flows
  • No dedicated QA, or QA stretched too thin
  • You want release confidence, not more process

Probably not yet if

  • You already have a QA team automating regression
  • You need native mobile or desktop app testing
  • You want zero-setup, fully autonomous testing
  • You rarely ship and regressions are not a pain yet
Compare

Three ways to handle regression

Every growing team faces this choice. Here's how the options compare.

Keep doing it manually
Familiar, but doesn't scale
Eats engineering time every release
Coverage gaps grow with the product
No artifacts, no history, no visibility
Add QA headcount
$80-120K/year fully loaded
2-3 months to hire and ramp up
Helps, but still largely manual
Right move eventually, but maybe not yet
Structured regression automation
Running in days, not months
Covers every defined flow, every run
Screenshots, traces, and failure visibility
Complements your team, doesn't replace it

This is not magic autonomous QA. It is a practical regression workflow for web teams that need repeatable checks, visible results, and fewer manual release rituals.

Structured runs. Visible results. No black-box promises.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need to change my application code?
No. You just provide your staging URL. Tests run in a real browser against your app. No SDK, no snippets, no code changes. If your app requires login, you can add an API step to authenticate within the flow.
How long does setup take?
About 15 minutes. Add a project, describe what to test in plain text or generate flows by crawling your site, and hit Run.
What browsers are supported?
Tests run on Chromium via Playwright. Firefox and WebKit support is on the roadmap.
How is this different from Cypress or Playwright directly?
You don't write or maintain test code. Describe what to test in plain text, or the platform crawls your site and generates flows. It runs tests, classifies failures, detects flaky patterns, and explains errors and suggests fixes. Regression coverage without the maintenance burden.
What happens when my UI changes?
Failures are classified automatically: broken locator, likely regression, or flaky. Each failure includes an explanation of what went wrong and a suggested fix. You'll know whether something actually broke or just moved.
Can I trigger runs from CI/CD?
Yes. Every user gets an API key for webhook integration. Trigger a full regression run on every deploy to staging.

Start with your highest-risk flows

Set up a pilot with your real staging app. Run checks on the flows that matter most and see what breaks before release.
