Frequently Asked Questions

OnPath QA is an AI-powered quality assurance platform built by OnPath Testing, Inc., a software QA consulting firm based in Boulder, Colorado. We've been helping teams ship better software since 2009.

Our platform combines 15+ years of QA expertise with advanced AI to give development teams instant, actionable insight into their code quality across five key dimensions: security, architecture, dependencies, process maturity, and performance.

The free audit analyzes your public GitHub repository across five quality dimensions:

• Security — OWASP vulnerabilities, authentication flaws, secret exposure, and injection risks
• Architecture — code structure, design patterns, error handling, and maintainability
• Dependencies — outdated packages, known CVEs, license risks, and supply chain concerns
• Process — CI/CD configuration, test coverage, documentation, and development workflow maturity
• Performance — N+1 queries, memory leaks, bundle size, and runtime efficiency

Each dimension receives a score from 0 to 100, and you get a detailed list of findings with severity ratings and remediation guidance.

No. We do not store your source code. Our AI reads your repository's contents through the GitHub API, performs the analysis, and generates findings. Only the audit results (scores, findings, and recommendations) are stored — not your actual code.

Your code is never shared with third parties beyond the AI analysis providers (Anthropic Claude) needed to perform the audit. We do not sell or share your data with anyone. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Most audits complete in under a minute. Five AI auditors analyze your repository in parallel, each focusing on a different quality dimension. You can watch the progress in real time as each dimension completes.

Larger repositories may take slightly longer, but audits rarely exceed two minutes.

Once the audit completes, you're automatically redirected to your results dashboard where you can:

• View scores across all five quality dimensions
• Browse individual findings with severity levels and descriptions
• See specific remediation recommendations for each issue
• Dismiss findings that don't apply to your project

Your results are saved for 365 days and accessible anytime through your guest account.

Not yet with the free audit. The free tier is limited to public GitHub repositories. Private repository support is coming soon as part of the full platform, which will include GitHub OAuth integration to securely access your private repos with your explicit permission.

Our audits are powered by advanced AI models and calibrated against 15+ years of professional QA experience. Results are deterministic — the same code will produce the same scores every time.

That said, AI-powered analysis is informational, not definitive. It's designed to surface risks and improvement opportunities, not replace human judgment. We recommend treating audit findings as a prioritized starting point for your team's review, not a final verdict.

Beyond free audits, the OnPath QA platform (coming soon) will include:

• Continuous monitoring — automated audits on every push or PR
• Private repo support — secure OAuth-based access to your private repositories
• Team management — invite team members, assign findings, track resolution
• Trend tracking — see how your code quality improves over time
• Ticket integration — create GitHub issues directly from findings
• AI workbench — conversational AI assistant for deep-dive code analysis

The free audit is completely free — no credit card, no sign-up, no strings attached. Just enter your name, email, and a public GitHub repo URL.

Pricing for the full platform will be announced soon. Our focus is on providing affordable, SMB-friendly pricing that makes professional QA tooling accessible to teams of all sizes.
