Agentic QA that validates business outcomes, not just passing tests
Validates customer and revenue workflows end to end rather than only checking whether code compiles and tests pass.
A five-step loop — gather business signals, understand code reality, audit business-critical tests, refine in natural language, detect silent failures.
Runs validations on every build to surface logic regressions and 'green but wrong' releases before production.
Maps business intent to implementation across GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket so validations reflect the real codebase.

The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
An agentic mode that plans changes, edits several files at once, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete.
Background agents spin up their own environments to build, test, and demo features in parallel, then hand back results for review.
Fast inline suggestions plus codebase-wide semantic search and indexing so answers reflect your actual repository.
Switch between leading frontier models from multiple providers, or let Cursor select a model automatically for each task.
