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.
