The AI QA Directory lists 330 AI testing tools as of 2026-09-24. Each tool has a fact sheet covering pricing, output format, hosting and status. Every fact carries an evidence level, a source where one exists, and the date it was checked.
Tools by category
Each tool has one primary category. Many tools also carry secondary categories, which the counts below do not include. The table is sorted by category name, A to Z.
There are 19 categories in total. The category index gives the definition of each one.
Tools by status
Status records whether a tool is still offered under its listed name. As of 2026-09-24 the counts are:
- Active: 287
- Acquired: 26
- Shut down: 9
- Renamed: 8
Tools that shut down or are acquired stay listed, with the event date where one is published. The status fact is documented for 292 tools. It is vendor-stated for 32 tools and not documented for 6.
The status page lists 65 dated events. These are 38 acquisitions, 17 renames, 8 shutdowns, 1 launch and 1 pivot.
How discovery worked
Candidates came from public lists, directories and registries. These included GitHub topic pages, Product Hunt categories, curated "awesome" lists and the MCP registry. Each candidate was checked against the inclusion rules below.
- Candidate sightings recorded: 721
- Unique candidates after de-duplication: 521
- Accepted: 330
- Rejected: 171
- Merged into another entry: 20
A merge folds a product line into its vendor's main listing. For example, Autify Aximo is covered in the Autify entry.
Common reasons for rejection were:
- no AI capability marketed for testing
- a generic browser or automation tool not marketed for software testing
- a curated list, prompt collection, guide or scaffold rather than a tool
- an insufficient public record, such as a small repository with no separate docs
- a homepage that did not resolve
Accepted candidates then went to fact verification. Each fact was checked against docs, pricing pages, changelogs, licences and public records.
Inclusion rules
The inclusion policy reads: "A tool is listed when it markets AI-assisted software testing and has a public homepage. Facts come from documentation, pricing pages and public records; anything only the vendor says is labelled vendor-stated. Tools that shut down or are acquired stay listed with the date."
Two further rules applied during discovery. A tool that exposes a testing capability to AI agents, such as an MCP server, qualifies. A generic AI assistant qualifies only if it ships a testing-specific product or documented feature.
A listing is not an endorsement. The catalogue has no paid placement, no sponsored listings and no affiliate links.
Evidence levels
Every fact on a tool page carries one of three levels:
- documented: confirmed on a documentation-class page, such as docs, a pricing page, a changelog or a licence
- vendor-stated: stated only on a marketing page, such as a homepage or feature page
- not documented: looked for and not found on any public page
A fact is never upgraded to a higher level without a documentation source. A fact checked more than 90 days before a build is flagged for re-verification. The methodology page explains the evidence levels, the update cadence and the inclusion rules.
Where to start
The tool index lists all 330 tools in one sortable table. Each tool page shows its facts, sources and verification dates. Missing tools can be proposed through the suggest page.
