Release Notes
August 2025 brought improvements to the signal-to-noise ratio in Tusk’s tests and a renewed emphasis on detecting latent bugs with high-impact tests.
We expanded our bug detection mode by making its configurations default for all future organizations, and optimized the end-to-end user experience for finding edge cases.
To increase the value of Tusk's test suggestions, we improved how we score tests according to user-provided feedback. Tusk now also utilizes a mix of agentic grep and programmatic code search to gather deep context when iterating on tests.
Behind the scenes, we’ve been working on Tusk Drift, our next major product release that will change how API testing is done with AI. More details to come — here’s an early demo:
Major Features
- Agentic Self-Healing: Tusk now utilizes agentic grep—where optimal—to gather code context when iterating on its tests. Fewer relevant tests will be excluded from Tusk's output due to test execution errors.
- Optimized Bug Detection Mode: Made PR check for generating only failing tests the default workflow for new organizations. Improved end-to-end user flow for quickly detecting bugs, while allowing users to override by using the PR/MR label to generate the full test suite.
Testing Improvements
- Better Learning From Feedback: Improved relevance scoring for generated tests according to user-provided feedback on tests (i.e., thumbs up/down). Expect to see previously rejected test types be consistently excluded from Tusk's output.
- Sandbox Stability: Implemented robust error handling, timeouts, and retries for Tusk sandboxes to improve system stability
DevEx Enhancements
- CoverBot Cleanup: CoverBot automatically closes its PR/MRs after 7 days by default. You have the ability to toggle this on and off.
- Clearer Failure States: Introduced new test generation retry logic and UI/UX that distinguishes between retry-able and terminal failures
- Bulk Upload of Environment Variables: Streamlined repo onboarding with a mass upload functionality for required environment variables
- Faster Loading/Commits: Repositories overview page now loads up to 5x faster. Committing only passing tests now happens without modal confirmation.
