Our Story

We've been there.
That's why we built this.

As engineers who've shipped production code for years, we know the pain of visual bugs slipping through tests. We're building the tool we wish we had.

Our Mission Meet the Team
Why TestivAI

The problem with
visual testing today.

After years of dealing with false positives and slow CI, we knew there had to be a better way.

Our founding team has collectively shipped code to hundreds of millions of users. We've experienced the same frustrations:

1. The "All Tests Pass" Illusion: Your CI shows green, but users report broken layouts. Visual bugs don't respect unit test coverage.

2. The Screenshot Testing Nightmare: Traditional tools flood you with false positives. A timestamp changes, and suddenly 100 tests need review.

3. The CI Bottleneck: Adding visual testing shouldn't slow down every build.

Our solution: A smart, layered approach that understands what actually matters. We compare meaning, not pixels.

Our Values

What drives us
every day.

These principles guide everything we build and how we operate.

01
Developer Experience First
We build tools developers actually want to use. Simple setup, clear feedback, and minimal friction.
"It just works"
02
Speed Matters
CI is already slow. Visual testing should be fast enough to run on every commit without slowing down your team.
Fast by design
03
Honest Feedback
No false alarms. Every alert should be actionable. We'd rather miss a cosmetic change than waste your time.
<5% false positives
04
Continuous Improvement
Our AI gets smarter with every test. We're constantly improving accuracy and speed based on real-world usage.
Always learning
Our Team
