# What is Watchtower?
> Watchtower is a QA command center, a live view of your Playwright and Cypress test suite, its results, and its health.
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.
Sign in, set up a workspace, connect a repository, and run your first Patrol.
Learn the layout: Dashboard, Test Center, Patrol, Watchman, and Trash.
Browse your test inventory, triage failures, and track priority.
Start test runs and watch results stream in live.
## What you can do with Watchtower
| Area | What it gives you |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Workspaces** | A shared space for your team, with roles and invites, that scopes repository connections and environment settings. |
| **Test Center** | A full inventory of your tests, organized by folder, with priority, status, tags, comments, and bug ticket links. |
| **Patrol** | On-demand test runs. Pick a suite, a project, or a filter, and watch pass/fail results stream in live. |
| **Dashboard** | Pass-rate trends, a Go/No-Go release verdict, and a per-folder breakdown of test health. |
| **Reports & Compare** | A shareable, printable QA report, and a side-by-side comparison between any two past runs. |
| **Watchman** | AI-assisted analysis that reviews pull requests and commits against your test suite. |
| **Trash** | Recover deleted test cases for 30 days before they're permanently purged. |
## 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](/v0.6.0/guides/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](/v0.6.0/test-center#unlink-and-relink).
* 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.
