How is a fix loop different from exporting a bug to Jira?

An export ends with a ticket somebody has to pick up. In Braio the defect can be handed to a coding agent together with its evidence, you get a pull request to review, and after it merges the same scenario is retested automatically. A human still merges — there is no automatic merge.

Does Braio test mobile apps?

No, web only for now. Android emulators and iOS simulators sit in the backlog behind a market gate — we will build them when enough paying customers ask, not because a competitor has them.

Comparison

Braio vs tester.army

tester.army is a specialised QA agent that tests web and mobile apps without selectors. Braio does QA as one role in a team of agents — and closes the loop from defect to fix. Here is what that means in practice.

Area	Braio	tester.army
Authoring tests	A scenario written as sentences, with a verdict per step; the agent also reports what it could not check.	Steps in plain language, one goal per step; Discovery Runs draft a test plan from a pull request.
Verdict	pass / fail / blocked — a blocked scenario does not lower the score, because nothing was observed.	pass / fail / blocked, with per-step results.
Evidence	Screenshots, console and network logs, the agent's reasoning trail, axe-core accessibility audit.	Screenshots, MP4 synchronised with steps, reasoning transcript, console/network logs, axe-core audit.
Defect list	One row per defect with a fingerprint, occurrence history and regression detection.	A deduplicated Issues tab with export to Linear and Jira.
After a bug is found	The defect can be handed to a coding agent: a brief with the evidence, a pull request, and a retest of the same scenario.	A report, a PR comment and an export to your tracker.
Mobile	Web only for now.	Web plus iOS and Android on cloud simulators and emulators.
Interfaces for agents	An MCP catalogue on the client side; our own MCP server is planned.	A hosted MCP server, a CLI, a REST API and a GitHub App that runs tests on pull requests.
Signing in during tests	Tests run without modifying the site; a credentials vault is planned.	Encrypted credentials, temporary mailboxes with OTP extraction, dedicated SMS numbers, TOTP.

When tester.army is the better choice

You are testing a mobile app — they have iOS simulators and Android emulators, and we do not yet.
You need sign-in with an SMS code or an email link; they solved that as a product.
You want to run tests from a CLI, MCP and a GitHub App without the rest of a platform.

When Braio is the better choice

You want someone to fix the bug once it is found, not only to file it.
You want QA next to the rest of the team's work: tasks, deployments, costs and approvals in one place.
You need access control and an audit trail around tests that touch production.
