Test results in Slack, with enough detail to act on

A failed automation test, a dropped device session or a finished accessibility scan arrives as a formatted card carrying the device, the duration, the reason and a link straight back to the run.

What actually lands in the channel

Every message is a Block Kit card built from one neutral description of what happened.

A severity you can scan past

The header carries an emoji chosen by severity — a tick for a pass, a red circle for a failure — so a reader scrolling by decides whether to stop.

The facts, not a status word

The build or test name, the product and the device it ran on, who started it, when, how long it took, and a plain-English reason when a session ended for one.

Times in the reader's timezone

The start time is sent as Slack's date token, so a tester in Delhi and a lead in Berlin each see it on their own clock. Only Slack of the four channels can do this.

No 'N/A' clutter

A fact with no value is dropped rather than printed as N/A — device sessions have no project, so that line simply doesn't appear.

A link straight back to the run

The last line opens the session or scan, where the recording, console output and network log for that test are waiting.

Reliable delivery

The webhook URL is re-validated before every dispatch, redirects are refused, and a slow channel never holds up the test that triggered it.

Every event you can subscribe to

Pick events per product — by hand, or with a preset (all results, or failures only). These are the only events that exist.

Device farm & accessibility

  • Automate test passed, failed or errored
  • Live session ended (neutral) or failed
  • Accessibility scan completed or failed

Test management

  • Test case created or deleted
  • Cycle created, completed or deleted
  • Plan created, completed or deleted
  • Bulk execution completed

Deliberately absent

  • Visual — appears in the picker with an empty list; nothing emits a visual event yet.
  • No automate.build.completed — a build is a label, not an object with a lifecycle.

Sending is fire-and-forget — a slow channel never holds up the run. Retries are spaced a minute, five minutes, half an hour, two hours and eight hours apart. Loopback, private, link-local and multicast addresses are refused, and redirects are not followed. The same rules cover a raw JSON webhook.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. You create an incoming webhook in Slack, paste the URL into TestKase, name the integration and choose its events. There is no OAuth flow and no bot user, and the traffic only ever goes one way — out of TestKase, into your channel.
