Documentation

Turn a git diff into a release-ready E2E test plan.
Documentation Portal

Impact Gate starts with deterministic diff analysis.

Then turns that evidence into a release-ready E2E plan for pull requests, release branches, hotfixes, and shipped tags before you layer in optional AI generation or healing.

Primary workflow

Impact → Plan → Gate

npx impact-gate impact —since origin/mainnpx impact-gate plan —since v2.1.0npx impact-gate gate —threshold 80

Start with impact, plan, and gate to make pull-request and release-readiness coverage decisions from a git diff.

Detailed concepts

How the evidence layer works

Learn route families, confidence scoring, plan artifacts, and where AI fits into the workflow without becoming the workflow.

Commercial comparison

See where it fits against commercial platforms

Compare Impact Gate honestly against hosted optimization, AI-first E2E, no-code automation, and monitoring-oriented tools.

Release readiness

Ship with confidence from one diff

Compare the current candidate to the last shipped tag and turn that delta into a focused test plan before you ship.

Hallucination guardrails

Ground generation against what your repo already knows

AI-generated specs are grounded against your local API surface and suspicious methods are quarantined into generated-needs-review/.

QA skill

Use /qa from Codex or Claude as the front door

Give the agent a running app URL and a goal like “test this branch” or “hunt checkout regressions,” then let the skill translate that into the right impact-gate-qa run.

Optional AI

Layer generation and healing on after the plan is useful

Configure providers, inspect artifacts, and add autonomous workflows only after the deterministic path is already trustworthy.

Operational guides

CI, troubleshooting, and cost control

Use focused playbooks for PR gating, release diffs, AI safety, budget controls, and rollout troubleshooting.
