# Have an agent QA your product before release

Point a coding agent at a staging build and have it navigate the product, try different inputs, and file bugs for human QA to review, like Asana using GPT-6 Astra in Codex to test StackAI features before release as the foundation for parallel cloud-agent QA.

## Inputs to collect first
Ask the user for anything below that they haven't already given you. Don't guess missing facts.

- Staging URL / local instructions
- Test account or 'already logged in'
- Feature list

## Instructions

Do the task below with the user's inputs in place of each [bracket].

QA this product build before we ship. URL or build: [staging URL / local instructions]. Login: [test account or 'already logged in']. Focus areas: [feature list]. For each area: navigate like a new user, try happy paths and obvious edge cases (empty fields, long text, wrong type, refresh mid-flow), and record every bug or confusing moment. For each finding include: steps to reproduce, expected vs actual, severity (blocker/major/minor), and a screenshot description if you can capture one. Don't change production data, don't click pay/delete/share, and leave a summary ranked by severity for human QA.

## Safety checks (share these with the user)

- Check names, dates, numbers and any claim against your own source material before you use the answer. AI can misread or invent details.
- Say clearly which parts need a person to review or approve before anything is sent, paid, posted or filed.
