Zerocheck vs Checksum

Checksum learns from what users already did. Zerocheck helps teams protect risky flows before those regressions reach users.

What Checksum does well

•Generates tests from real user session recordings - tests reflect actual usage patterns, not guesses about user behavior
•No test authoring needed - point it at your production traffic and it creates tests from observed flows
•Catches real user flow patterns that manual test authoring often misses
•Good for discovering untested paths and edge cases based on how users actually navigate your app

Where Checksum falls short

—Reactive by design - tests come from past user sessions, not proactively from code changes. Regressions reach users before tests exist for them
—Requires production traffic to generate tests - pre-launch or low-traffic apps get no coverage
—No structured run evidence - no JSON run evidence with recordings and step traces
—Limited CI integration documentation - unclear how tests fit into a PR-gated workflow
—Early stage product - feature set and long-term roadmap are still evolving

How Zerocheck differs

Proactive, not reactive - PR diffs surface reviewable coverage gaps before users ever see the change
Works from day one - no production traffic required. Paste a URL and get tests immediately
JSON run evidence generated from executed browser runs
PR-native results with pass/fail comments, step traces, and evidence directly in your pull request
Confidence scoring with transparent reasoning - you see exactly why each test result is reliable

FAQ

How is Checksum different from Zerocheck?

Checksum generates tests from real user session recordings, so tests reflect actual usage patterns. Zerocheck starts from app discovery and PR diffs, then runs approved coverage before merge. Checksum is reactive; Zerocheck is built around preventing regressions from reaching users.

Does Checksum work for pre-launch apps?

No. Checksum requires production traffic to generate tests. If your app is pre-launch or has low traffic, you get no coverage. Zerocheck works from day one: paste a URL and get tests immediately, regardless of traffic volume.

Can Checksum catch regressions before users see them?

Not by design. Checksum creates tests from past user sessions, so regressions reach users before tests exist for the affected flows. Zerocheck runs the approved suite before merge and turns PR-diff coverage gaps into reviewable suggestions.

Does Checksum generate Run evidence?

No. Checksum has no run evidence features. Zerocheck generates JSON run evidence from executed browser runs, which is useful for teams going through compliance processes.
