Argus - Agentic visual UI testing for teams whose coding agents outpace QA

Argus is a local, open-source visual UI testing app that uses AI agents to test your UI like a real user. Describe a test in plain language, point it at any HTTP(S) page, and watch as five specialized agents collaborate to explore, plan, and execute the test in a real browser. It captures timelines, screenshots, and structured reports automatically, eliminating the need for scripted tests or fragile selectors. Built on Playwright, it works with localhost and private-network apps, and offers a hosted platform for instant setup. Ideal for teams with fast-moving coding agents that need equally agile QA.

Argus finds the bugs you didn't write tests for. Point it at a page, describe what 'working' looks like, and an autonomous agent explores your UI the way a real user would—clicking, typing, scrolling—then hands you a structured report with screenshots and a timeline.
