Why Aegistack

## One Platform for Your Entire QA Lifecycle

Aegistack brings together everything QA teams need — test planning, AI generation, execution, and delivery management — in a single, intelligent platform.

### Replace Fragmented QA Tools

Stop juggling spreadsheets, separate automation repos, and disconnected trackers. Aegistack unifies your entire QA workflow in one platform — from test cases to execution to reporting.

### Accelerate Coverage with AI

AI generates comprehensive manual test cases from requirements and screenshots, identifies coverage gaps, and suggests automation candidates — dramatically reducing the time to full test coverage.

### Connect Planning to Execution

Link every requirement to its test cases, automation scripts, execution results, and bug reports. Achieve end-to-end traceability that keeps teams aligned and audits simple.

Features

## Everything You Need for AI-Driven QA

Stop firefighting. Start engineering quality. Six capabilities that turn your QA from a bottleneck into your team's competitive edge.

Feature 01

### AI Manual Test Case Generation

Paste a Jira ticket, screenshot, or paragraph. Aegistack analyzes context and generates Gherkin-format test cases with feature trees, datasets, and gap analysis — in 90 seconds.

10x faster than manual writing. Editable in-place. Exports to popular TCM tools and Excel.

Feature 02

### AI Live Runner

Live Runner runs manual test cases step by step in a real Chromium browser, captures screenshots and logs, and generates Playwright code from the execution. Visual regression detection built-in.

Real browser. Full network traces. Auto-generated Playwright code. Visual diff alerts.

Feature 03

### Automation Script Linking

Link manual test cases to Playwright automation scripts or generate them from AI Live Runner sessions. Track automation coverage across your entire test suite.

Bridge the gap between manual and automated testing seamlessly.

Feature 04

### Jira-Native Workflow

Bidirectional Jira sync keeps QA and engineering aligned. Built-in board, sprint, backlog views designed for QA workflows. Audit trail two clicks away.

Bi-directional sync. Custom field mapping. Compliance-ready exports.

Feature 05

### Knowledge Base & AI Assistant

Every test case, execution, and bug connects through a traceable knowledge graph. Universe view shows coverage across epics. AI Assistant answers QA questions in context.

Full traceability from requirement to execution. Audit-ready delivery.

Feature 06

### Local-First Architecture

Your test cases, source code references, and execution logs stay on your machine. Local SQLite DB. BYOK encryption. No telemetry. Self-hostable enterprise option.

Your data stays local. Your API key stays yours. Your team stays in control.

Test Intelligence

## Manual Test Case Intelligence

Local-First Architecture

## Your Data Stays on Your Machine

Aegistack is a desktop app with a local-first architecture. Your project database stays on your device. You control your own data layer. No centrally hosted customer project database in the current product model.

### Local-first by design

Your test data lives on your machine, not on someone else's cloud.

### BYOK encryption

Bring your own Anthropic/OpenAI key. We encrypt it with AES-256-GCM and never see your prompts.

### No silent telemetry

No tracking pixels, no usage analytics on your test content. Period.

### Audit-ready

Full execution logs, Jira-synced traces, compliance exports for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audits.

### Reduced Exposure Footprint

Local-first architecture means reduced exposure compared with cloud-only QA tooling.

### Desktop-Native Security

Running as a desktop app means your workflow operates within your own system environment.

Important: Aegistack does not overclaim security guarantees. Our local-first desktop architecture reduces exposure compared with cloud-only QA tooling, and gives your team better data ownership clarity.

Desktop App

## Available on macOS & Windows

Aegistack is designed for desktop workflows where teams want performance, direct control over their data, and secure local operations.

Comparison

## Why teams switch to Aegistack

A look at what most QA tools still can't do — based on publicly available information as of April 2026.

No AI generation

Most tools require you to write every test case by hand. No AI assistance, no generation from requirements — just blank forms and manual effort.

Your data, their cloud

Traditional tools send your test data to their servers. You can't own your data, run offline, or meet strict data-residency requirements.

Paying for legacy

Comparable platforms start at $25–$36/user/month, built on architectures designed before AI existed. You pay more for less.

CEO & Founder, Aegisol

## “I built Aegistack because I was tired of duct-taping QA tools.”

10+ years across the full QA spectrum — manual testing, test automation (Selenium, Playwright), API and performance testing, CI/CD integration, test architecture, and now AI-driven workflows. I've held every role in the testing cycle, which means I've felt every bottleneck firsthand.

Every project had the same broken pattern: requirements in one tool, test cases in spreadsheets, automation in a separate repo nobody maintained, results in a page already out of date. Teams were spending more time managing tools than finding bugs.

Aegistack is what I wished existed. Built with the team I've worked alongside for 5 years. We're shipping it because it's the tool we would have paid for years ago.

If your QA team has the same broken pattern — book a call. You'll talk to me, not a sales rep.
