Kaloko vs manual QA
Testers are good at judgement and bad value as click-through machines. Kaloko leaves the clicking to the agent: it walks the acceptance plan in every language and screen size and brings the evidence; the tester decides.
Side by side
| Kaloko | Manual QA | |
|---|---|---|
| Who clicks through | An agent or a Playwright script, the same plan every time | A tester, as time allows |
| Coverage per run | Every step × language × viewport the scenario lists | What fits into the day; locales and phones are often sampled |
| Evidence | Screenshots, rendered HTML, console errors and e-mails captured automatically | Screenshots pasted into a ticket or a spreadsheet |
| Countable checks | Deterministic, with the elements as evidence (texts, prices, metadata, contrast, overflow) | By eye |
| Judgement | The tester decides on the canvas; an AI evaluator suggests where it is unsure | The tester decides |
| Repeating after a fix | Walk the affected steps again, compare with the accepted run | Click through again |
| Exploratory testing | No: Kaloko walks what the plan says | Yes: a person finds what nobody planned |
- You need exploratory testing: a person trying what nobody wrote down.
- The product is new and the acceptance plan does not exist yet.
- A judgement call needs domain knowledge no plan can hold.
- The same flows must be checked on every change, in every language.
- Testers spend more time clicking than judging.
- Developers, product owners and clients need to see the same evidence.
When to use both
Keep the testers and give them a different job: the agent walks and captures, the tester judges the canvas and explores what the plan missed.
Independent of host, agent and AI vendor
Kaloko walks any address, works with any coding agent through the same skill, MCP server and CLI, and its semantic evaluator is replaceable: hosted by us or with your own key. The record of who approved what stays in one place, exportable, whichever tools you change.
