What is Tusk?
Tusk is an AI-powered automated testing platform that generates high-quality unit and integration tests for pull requests (PRs) by analyzing codebases, live traffic, and business context. It catches real-world regressions and edge cases in 43% of PRs, helping teams enforce test coverage and code quality without disrupting developer workflows. With a simple CLI installation, Tusk autonomously creates executable tests, runs them, self-iterates on failures, and maintains self-healing test suites on commits.
Key features include shift-left testing optimized for agents, full autonomy in test generation and error fixing, and integration with CI/CD pipelines to detect bugs before merges. It supports popular frameworks like Jest, Vitest, Mocha, RSpec, pytest, and JUnit, customizing tests based on existing codebase patterns and tools like Jira or Linear. Tusk runs tests locally or in CI, boosting code coverage dramatically, as seen in customer stories where teams scaled from thousands to over 7,000 tests in a month.
Designed for engineering teams at startups to enterprises, Tusk is ideal for developers seeking to halve release cycles, fix functional bugs, and build quality-first cultures. Trusted by leaders at DeepLearning.AI, Hamming, Promptfoo, and TeamFeePay, it outperforms tools like Cursor and Claude Code by verifying tests with high compute and context awareness. It's for teams aiming to prevent regressions, reach coverage goals on legacy code, and focus engineers on high-value work.

Frequently asked questions about Tusk
What version control platforms does Tusk support?
Tusk currently supports GitHub and GitLab for version control. Reach out to [email protected] if you would like us to support a specific version control platform.
Does Tusk generate E2E tests?
No, we do not. E2E tests are notoriously brittle and time-consuming to maintain. We are focused on generating unit and integration tests at a PR level.
Is Tusk SOC 2 compliant and does it train on my code?
We are SOC 2 Type II certified. Tusk and our LLM providers do NOT use your source code to train models. Tusk uses multi-tenant architecture, so your source code will never be accessible to other customers.
How does Tusk ensure test quality compared to code review tools?
Tusk runs its tests and auto-triages whether test failures are the result of an incorrect test or a bug in the code. Code review tools do not do this, which results in vague suggestions. You can be confident that Tusk is checking for relevant edge cases.
What test frameworks does Tusk support?
Tusk supports popular test frameworks like Jest, Vitest, Mocha, RSpec, pytest, JUnit, among others. Our tool is able to gather additional context from your existing tests and documentation.
Does Tusk automatically merge PRs?
No. Tusk is an AI-powered developer tool that runs in the background to find edge cases that engineers may have missed. We believe that humans should still be in the driver's seat when it comes to reviewing and merging a PR.
How does Tusk outperform other AI tools like Cursor or Claude?
Tusk runs the tests it generates and self-iterates, catches edge cases other agents miss in 90% of runs, uses more compute for quality, and customizes to codebase with business context from Jira/Linear.
Can Tusk run tests locally?
Yes, run a single CLI command for initial setup and to add Tusk-generated tests locally or to an existing branch, optimized for agents and fully autonomous.
What is Tusk Drift?
Drift Cloud provides AI-powered functionalities to easily detect and resolve regressions using live traffic and business context alongside API tests as an add-on.
How long to sync repositories after connecting GitHub?
Connect your GitHub organization by authorizing, sync repositories by checking boxes and clicking Save, then wait 5 minutes for repositories to be synced before creating issues.
