Real-time test notifications for faster feedback

When your regression pack fails, you should know immediately.

Notifications in DoesQA keep your team informed about test activity the moment it happens. Whether a run was triggered manually, via CI/CD, through a schedule, or by a recipe, you can control exactly how and where updates are delivered.

No refreshing dashboards. No waiting. Just clear signals when it matters.

What are notifications in DoesQA?

Notifications are automated alerts sent when specific events occur during test execution.

You can configure notifications based on:

  • Run status (pass, fail, or both)

  • How the run was triggered

  • Specific CI/CD keys

  • Selected run types

  • Flow tags and filters

This allows precise control over who is notified and why.

You can keep high-level stakeholders informed about production smoke tests while sending detailed failure alerts to engineering channels.

Where notifications can be sent

DoesQA supports multiple delivery channels:

  • Slack

  • Microsoft Teams

  • Email

  • Webhooks

Each channel can be configured independently for pass and fail events.

Live run updates are supported in Slack and Teams, while pass and fail notifications can be sent to Slack, Teams, email, and webhooks.

This flexibility allows you to tailor communication to match how your team works.

Advanced webhook capabilities

Webhooks are not simple status pings.

When DoesQA sends a webhook, it includes complete run data:

  • Run metadata

  • Flow-level results

  • Test-level results

  • Step-level information

This provides everything needed to build custom dashboards, trigger issue creation, integrate with incident tools, or power internal reporting systems.

Webhooks also support custom headers and are uniquely signed for advanced security validation.

You can build workflows as simple or as complex as you need.

Why notifications matter

Notifications turn automated testing into an active feedback system.

Instead of manually checking results, your team:

  • Reacts instantly to failures

  • Reduces time to fix

  • Maintains confidence in production

  • Shares visibility across technical and non-technical teams

Stakeholders receive updates in the tools they already use. Engineers get structured data for fast debugging.

Quality becomes visible.

Build a proactive quality culture

When paired with scheduling, CI/CD, and recipes, notifications create a powerful feedback loop:

  • Tests run automatically

  • Results are delivered instantly

  • Teams respond immediately

This reduces firefighting, shortens feedback cycles, and keeps everyone aligned around the health of your application.

Automated tests are valuable.

Automated communication makes them powerful.
