Question 1

What is NexGen QA?

Accepted Answer

NexGen QA is an enterprise AI-powered software testing platform with 35+ testing modules in one unified OmniPlatform. It combines API testing, security scanning (DAST/SAST), WCAG accessibility, performance and load testing, blockchain testing, chaos engineering, AI model validation, and regulatory compliance auditing with autonomous testing agents and natural-language test generation. It is built for enterprise and government teams and is FedRAMP Ready and FISMA compliant.

Question 2

What is BYOK and how does NexGen QA's GitHub Actions runner work?

Accepted Answer

BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) lets Enterprise and Government tenants execute AI-powered tests inside their own GitHub Actions runner using AI provider keys stored in their own GitHub Secrets. NexGen QA never sees, stores, or transmits your raw API keys. Setup takes about five minutes: register a secret name in NexGen, paste a GitHub PAT, and NexGen commits a workflow file to your repo. Tests then run in your CI environment and post signed results back to the platform.

Question 3

How is NexGen QA different from Selenium, Playwright, or other testing tools?

Accepted Answer

Traditional frameworks like Selenium and Playwright are code libraries for browser automation that you script and maintain yourself. NexGen QA is a complete AI-powered QA platform that generates tests from natural language, self-heals broken selectors, and unifies 35+ testing types including security, accessibility, performance, compliance, and AI model validation under one dashboard. It adds autonomous testing agents, BYOK execution in your own infrastructure, signed result attestation, and government-grade compliance that script-only frameworks do not provide.

Question 4

Can I add my own custom AI models?

Accepted Answer

Yes. From Settings → Custom Models, you can register any OpenAI-, Anthropic-, or Gemini-compatible endpoint, or use raw passthrough for any HTTP API. Custom models appear automatically in every AI testing model picker across the platform. The secret name references your GitHub Secret — the value never reaches NexGen QA.

Question 5

What types of testing does NexGen QA support?

Accepted Answer

NexGen QA supports 35+ testing types: API testing (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), security testing (DAST/SAST/OWASP Top 10), accessibility testing (WCAG 2.2/Section 508), performance testing, load and stress testing, mobile/responsive testing, database testing, WebSocket testing, contract/pact testing, visual regression testing, chaos/resilience testing, blockchain and smart contract testing, localization/i18n testing, AI model validation (hallucination, bias, robustness, red teaming), and regulatory compliance auditing (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, FISMA).

Question 6

Does NexGen QA offer a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NexGen QA offers a free plan with 3 users, dashboard, test case management, test scheduler, and basic integrations at $0/month. Professional plans start at $199/month per seat with 2,000 AI credits. Enterprise and Government plans offer custom pricing with unlimited users, BYOK runner, custom AI models, and dedicated support.

Question 7

How does AI test generation work in NexGen QA?

Accepted Answer

Write test cases in plain English. The AI engine — powered by GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, or any custom model you register — converts natural language descriptions into executable test scripts with selectors, assertions, and test data. Self-healing tests automatically fix broken element selectors when the UI changes.

Question 8

Is NexGen QA compliant with government and healthcare standards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NexGen QA is FedRAMP Ready, FISMA compliant with 76 NIST 800-53 moderate-baseline controls, IL5-ready for classified workloads, and supports air-gapped deployment. It also provides automated compliance auditing for SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS with evidence collection and export.

Question 9

Can NexGen QA be deployed on-premise or in air-gapped environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NexGen QA supports Docker and Kubernetes deployment, air-gapped environments for classified networks, and sovereign cloud deployment for data residency requirements. Enterprise and Government plans include on-premise deployment with full feature parity.

Question 10

What integrations does NexGen QA support?

Accepted Answer

NexGen QA supports 50+ integrations including Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, Slack, Okta, Microsoft Entra, Login.gov, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Datadog, New Relic, PagerDuty, Splunk, Terraform, AWS, GCP, Azure, and Stripe. CI/CD integration supports GitHub Actions (with BYOK runner), GitLab CI, and Jenkins with automated quality gates.
