Tessa Changelog | What's New in Tessa

Desktop tests pause while someone uses the computer

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 21:21:11 +0200

A banner counts down three seconds before the test starts and has a Stop button. The test resumes three seconds after the last input. Paused time does not count against the test’s time limit.

Tessa searches and files issues from the chat

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 13:20:01 +0200

Describe what you saw, and Tessa writes the issue with device, operating system and build. It shows likely duplicates before you confirm. Tessa only changes issues it filed itself.

Tests run on real iPhones signed by your own Apple team

Sun, 13 Sep 2026 12:01:57 +0200

Plug in the iPhone, and the executor registers it with Apple and renews the certificate and profile. You enter your team’s key once per Mac. You need a paid Apple Developer Program team.

Hooks run your own code before and after a test

Sun, 13 Sep 2026 12:00:00 +0200

A hook can prepare test data, clean up afterwards, or call any webhook. Workspace owners write the hooks, and testers attach them to scenarios. A hook that fails before the test stops it before the app opens, and the failure does not count as a regression. Hooks only run on computers whose owner has allowed them.

New workspaces reach their first test on a setup board

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 15:23:37 +0200

The owner connects an AI provider and a device, creates a project and adds a build or URL. Tessa then explores the app and runs the first test it drafts. People invited later get a welcome panel.

Teams can start Tessa Cloud on their own with 14 days free

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 20:33:47 +0200

The first 14 days are free. After that the team picks a monthly plan on the pricing page and can cancel at any time. An owner can export the whole workspace in one click, in every account state.

Tessa 1.0 turns a failed test into a drafted issue

Tue, 18 Aug 2026 11:19:55 +0200

Tessa lists open issues that look like the same problem before anyone files a new one. When a failure comes back, Tessa comments on the existing issue. A failure after the issue was closed is flagged as a regression.

Test teams share one workspace that learns their app

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 15:39:15 +0200

Each organisation’s data is kept apart from the others. The device’s screen shows live during a test, and a dashboard sorts results by what needs attention. The App Map shows what tests have not covered yet, and Tessa drafts scenarios for those gaps on request.

Tessa moves to a server and starts testing web apps

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 12:50:00 +0200

An executor connects the devices to the server. Schedules start tests without anyone at the desk. Web apps are tested by their URL, Android and iOS apps as uploaded builds.

Tessa starts as a desktop app that tests phones from plain language

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 16:48:26 +0100

Scenarios are written in a structured editor, with steps and their expected results. Tessa blocks destructive actions during a test. Today Tessa runs as a server with an interface in the browser.
