What is DevAssure O2?

DevAssure O2 is an autonomous testing agent that tests your web application through the browser — the same way a human tester would — but driven by AI instead of scripts. You write test cases in plain English; O2 navigates your application, interacts with UI elements, and validates outcomes.

How is O2 different from Selenium or Playwright?

Scripted tools require selectors that break when the UI changes. O2 uses intent-driven testing: you describe what the user does, and the agent figures out how to execute it using visual reasoning. When a button moves or gets a new CSS class, O2 still finds it because the intent has not changed.

Does O2 require test scripts or selectors?

No. O2 tests are written in plain English YAML — no CSS selectors, XPath, or page object models. There is no second codebase of test scripts to maintain when your application UI changes.

Can O2 test Salesforce Lightning or Flutter Web?

Yes. O2 handles Shadow DOM and dynamic IDs in Salesforce Lightning natively, and uses visual reasoning on canvas-rendered Flutter Web UIs where traditional DOM-based tools cannot select elements at all.

How do I run O2 in CI/CD?

Add devassure-ai/devassure-action@v1 to your GitHub Actions workflow for one-line PR testing, or run devassure run-tests from Jenkins, CircleCI, GitLab CI, or any CI system via the DevAssure CLI.

Is DevAssure SOC 2 certified?

Yes. DevAssure is SOC 2 Type II certified. Test credentials are stored encrypted, session recordings go to your configured archive location, and O2 runs in an isolated browser context per test session.

What is a Test Automation Report and Why is it important?

Test automation enables engineers to validate and test features and bug fixes at a faster rate. Test automation is primarily useful for regression testing. But is it enough to develop the automation scripts alone? Test automation is incomplete without reporting. Test automation reports help QA engineers to analyse the test results in a cumulative manner, specifically failures, and validate if they are actual issues or flaky tests.

That need has only grown. Teams now ship multiple pull requests per day — often with code written or assisted by AI — and need reports that answer a sharper question: did this specific change break real user behaviour? DevAssure O2, our autonomous testing agent, was built with that in mind: every run produces a detailed HTML report with session recordings, step-level pass/fail, and bug analysis you can open locally or attach to a PR check.

In this blog, the focus is on automation reports and dashboards — the key metrics that simplify report analysis, how open-source tools handle reporting, and how DevAssure O2 and the DevAssure platform deliver it end to end.

DevAssure O2: Testing Agent for Every PR

Software testing has changed. Your tools should too.Direct link to Software testing has changed. Your tools should too.

Two years ago, the best we could offer developers was a faster way to write test scripts. Record your actions, generate a script, maintain it when the UI changes, debug it when it breaks.

That model is reaching its limits.

In 2026, AI coding tools write 20% or more of new code at companies like Google and Microsoft. Developers ship multiple PRs per day. Release cycles have compressed from weeks to days. And the old approach — write scripts, maintain scripts, fix flaky scripts — can't keep pace with how fast code moves.

DevAssure started as a low-code test automation platform. We built a recorder, a visual test builder, self-healing locators, and test data management. Hundreds of teams used it to automate faster than they could with Selenium or Playwright alone.

But we kept hearing the same thing from our users:

"The automation is faster, but we're still spending 30–40% of our time maintaining tests."

That feedback led us to rethink the problem entirely. The result is O2 Agent — an autonomous testing agent that reads your code changes, generates targeted tests, and executes them in a real browser. No scripts. No selectors. No maintenance.

This post introduces what DevAssure O2 is, how it works, and why we built it.
