> Touca (github.com/trytouca/trytouca) gives fast feedback (via email or PR comment) for each PR you create that shows you how the behavior and performance of your software has changed compared to a previous trusted version.

Like SonarQube?

My company can barely invest in 80% unit test coverage. We have engineers writing tests to game coverage with no assertions. How is an organization expected to invest in even more time to write another type of test?

No. Instead of linting or static analysis, we tell you when a recent code change is causing your software to behavior or perform differently when handling a particular test case. Like Cypress but for software workflows that don't have a web interface or are not easy to test end-to-end.

Organizations are already investing in this other type of test by assigning QA teams to write and run manually or using software test automation tools. Touca offers a developer-friendly alternative to these tools that helps orgs save costs. It's a shift-left testing solution that helps engineers get the same confidence that QA teams provide, during the development stage.

From my experience, teams resort to superficial coverage goals because higher-level tests or the test infra needed to continuously run them are too expensive and complicated to run. We wanted to fix that.
