What is AngusTester?
AngusTester is an AI-native software testing platform that unifies multiple test types under a single declarative YAML language called AngusScript. The Community Edition is free and self-hostable via Docker Compose, requiring at least two CPU cores, four gigabytes of RAM, and forty gigabytes of disk space. It provides a web console for managing test plans, cases, scripts, and reports, with agents executing tests on registered nodes. The platform supports performance testing with concurrency and ramp-up load, CI/CD integration for release gates, and a plugin architecture for protocol, Web, mobile, and LLM extensions. Paid editions add advanced plugins, report gating, Testing Copilot, and MCP integration. Documentation and installation guides are available at anguskit.com/docs/tester.
