Watchtower is a QA command center for teams that run Playwright or Cypress tests. It reads the tests that already exist in your connected repository, organizes them into a browsable dashboard, runs them on demand, and turns the results into a clear picture of what’s passing, what’s failing, and what needs attention. Your test repository stays the source of truth, and Watchtower doesn’t ask you to move test ownership anywhere else. It syncs from your codebase, runs what you ask it to run, and gives your team a shared, readable view of the outcome.

What you can do with Watchtower

​
Problems it solves

  • Test coverage is hard to audit from file names alone. Watchtower gives you a browsable, organized view instead.
  • Recent failures get buried in CI logs. Patrol and the Dashboard surface them immediately.
  • Manual QA notes and automated results often live in separate places. Watchtower keeps comments, bug tickets, and run history on the same test.
  • Renamed or removed test files can make an external dashboard drift from reality. Sync keeps your inventory matched to what’s actually in the repository.
  • Teams need a shared place to work, not a personal dashboard. Workspaces let a team share repository connections and environment configuration while each member still tracks their own runs.

What’s new in v0.6.0

  • Shared workspaces, with invites, roles, and a workspace switcher. See Workspaces.
  • Editing a test’s spec file from Test Center now offers a choice of dashboard-only tracking, a proposed GitHub pull request, or a direct commit, with a preview of the change before it applies. See Test Center.
  • Exactly one connected repository acts as your test source at a time; other connected repositories stay available for Watchman-only analysis.
  • A Go/No-Go release verdict on the Dashboard, computed from P0 and P1 test results, with an optional release email.
  • Patrol runs now dispatch a matching Cypress workflow when your test source uses Cypress, and let you pick an environment to pass through to CI.
