Question 1

What is Manta AI?

Accepted Answer

Manta AI is an autonomous testing agent that explores your web application like a real user, automatically mapping every flow, detecting bugs, and letting you generate structured test plans from a plain-English prompt — all without writing or maintaining test scripts.

Question 2

How do I get started with Manta?

Accepted Answer

Sign up for a free account, enter your application’s URL, and start a run. Manta will begin exploring your app and identifying issues automatically — no configuration or script writing required.

Question 3

Do I need to install anything?

Accepted Answer

No installation required for cloud testing. Manta runs against any publicly accessible URL out of the box. If your app lives on a private network, staging server, or behind a firewall, you can use the Manta Runner — a lightweight agent you run from your own infrastructure — to execute tests directly from your environment.

Question 4

What types of applications can Manta test?

Accepted Answer

Manta works with any web application accessible via a URL — including SPAs, traditional websites, web apps behind authentication, and staging environments. It supports modern frameworks like React, Vue, Angular, and more.

Question 5

How does autonomous exploration work?

Accepted Answer

Manta starts from the URL you provide and navigates your application like a real user — clicking buttons, filling forms, following links, and moving through different states. As it explores, it builds a live behavioral model of your app and detects when flows break or behave unexpectedly across runs.

Question 6

What kind of issues can Manta detect?

Accepted Answer

Manta flags JavaScript errors, console errors, broken user flows, failed interactions, and visual regressions. Every issue comes with screenshots and full reproduction context so you know exactly what happened and where.

Question 7

Can I generate test plans from a prompt?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In addition to autonomous exploration, you can describe a specific flow to test in plain English — for example, "Check that users can sign up, verify their email, and complete onboarding." Manta generates a structured, runnable test suite from your prompt. Run it on demand any time and get pass/fail results per test, with screenshots and context for every failure.

Question 8

What is the Navigation Map?

Accepted Answer

The Navigation Map is a visual graph of your app’s structure — every page, transition, and reachable state discovered during a run, laid out in one view. It shows how your application connects, helps you understand what Manta explored, and makes it easy to spot coverage gaps at a glance.

Question 9

Can Manta handle authentication?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Manta supports email/password login, magic links, and Google sign-in. For other login flows, you can describe the steps in plain English and Manta will follow them during testing.

Question 10

Does Manta support scheduled testing?

Accepted Answer

Not at the moment, but you’ll soon be able to schedule test runs to execute automatically on a daily, weekly, or custom basis.

Question 11

Can I integrate Manta with my CI/CD pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Not yet, but very soon you’ll be able to trigger runs via API and slot Manta directly into your release pipeline.

Question 12

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every account gets 5 free Manta Credits every month, no credit card required. Upgrade anytime for more credits and higher limits.

Question 13

How is pricing calculated?

Accepted Answer

Each Manta package includes a set number of Manta Credits. Every test run consumes credits based on how deeply the agent explores your application. If you run out, you can purchase one-off add-on packages to continue testing without interruption.

Question 14

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel at any time and your access continues until the end of your current billing period.

Question 15

Do you offer team or enterprise plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer Team and Enterprise plans with additional features including advanced collaboration, dedicated support, custom integrations, and volume discounts. Contact us for details.

Question 16

Is my application data secure?

Accepted Answer

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Credentials used during test runs are not stored beyond the session. Your application data is never shared with third parties. If you have specific security requirements, get in touch.

Question 17

Can I test on private or staging environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use the Manta Runner to execute tests from your own infrastructure — your app never needs to be publicly accessible. The Runner connects securely from within your network so your internal environment stays private.

Question 18

How long is test data retained?

Accepted Answer

Free plans retain data for 7 days. Paid plans retain data for up to 1 year. Enterprise customers can request custom retention policies.
