Introduction

Thunders is a hosted end-to-end testing platform where “AI Test Agents build, run, and maintain end-to-end tests across web, mobile, API, and desktop”. The official site adds SAP test automation, AI personas, self-healing tests, failure analysis, test management and accessibility testing.

The platform is designed for journeys that cross systems, for example starting in a web app, moving to mobile, calling an API and finishing in an admin panel. MCP server testing and AI agent testing are listed as coming soon. Thunders also offers self-hosting and QA as a service.

Features

1. Cross-platform journeys: One test can span web, mobile, API and desktop.
2. AI test generation: Turns requirements and product knowledge into executable journeys without scripts.
3. AI personas: A persona catalogue simulates different user types; Enterprise adds custom personas.
4. Self-healing: The site states that most UI changes are absorbed automatically; that figure is the vendor’s.
5. SAP testing: A dedicated SAP test automation offering.
6. Failure analysis: Debugging and failure analysis are listed features.
7. Integrations: Squash TM, Xray, Jira, Linear, GitHub and Jenkins are listed, plus an MCP server.
8. Self-hosted option: Enterprise includes self-hosted or hybrid deployment.

Pros

1. Covers enterprise mixes: Web, mobile, API, desktop and SAP in one product is rare.
2. Published prices: Starter and Pro prices are listed in euros.
3. Test management links: Xray and Squash TM integrations suit teams with formal test management.
4. Self-hosting: Available for teams that cannot use a vendor cloud.
5. Free trial: Every self-serve plan offers a trial.

Cons

1. Credit model: Usage is measured in credits (steps); estimate volume before buying.
2. Some features coming soon: MCP server testing and AI agent testing were marked coming soon at review time.
3. Euro pricing: Budgets outside the eurozone need conversion.
4. Vendor metrics: Flakiness and coverage figures on the homepage are marketing claims.
5. Mobile only from Pro: Mobile testing is listed on the Pro plan.

Usage and Links (Example)

Start a free trial, create a project, and describe a journey in plain language or from requirements. Thunders generates the test, runs it across the chosen platforms, and reports results with failure analysis. Connect Jira, Xray or GitHub from the integrations page and use the MCP server to drive tests from an AI assistant.
