testerarmy (alias ta) is an agent-first QA runner. It works standalone for interactive use or as a skill for coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.
Your coding agent spawns testing agents to validate changes - keeping the feedback loop tight without polluting main agent context.
npm install -g testerarmyOr use without installing:
npx testerarmy --helpBoth testerarmy and ta map to the same CLI.
If you use a coding agent, install the official skill for tighter integration:
npx skills add tester-army/cliThis gives your agent structured instructions for running tests, interpreting results, and iterating on failures.
