Your Platform for Scaling Software Testing Environments
Quali Torque enhances software testing with scalable, reusable, and continuously managed templates for testing environments.
Are Your Software Testing Environment Processes Holding You Back?
Manual provisioning for testing environments leads to performance issues, wasted cloud costs, and extended release timelines.
Faulty Tests
Out-of-date infrastructure prevents tests from replicating production conditions, resulting in missed bugs and defects that damager user experience.
Pipeline Delays
Manual infrastructure provisioning and restricted cloud access create delays for software tests that extend release timelines and slow time to market.
Wasted Cloud Costs
Over-sized, unapproved, and idle cloud resources for testing environments lead to wasted budget and inflated costs to ship software.
Quali Torque automates testing environments to optimize performance, productivity, and costs.
Improve Software Quality
Execute all tests from reusable templates for environments that are monitored and updated continuously to reconcile drift, correct failures, and maintain production conditions at scale.
Accelerate Testing Stages
Eliminate provisioning delays with secure self-service access for your teams to deploy environments and operate cloud infrastructure pre-configured to support their unique testing conditions on-demand.
Eliminate Cloud Waste
Monitor cloud costs based on real-time deployments by user, team, and function and set custom policies to prevent over-sized and idle resources that waste budget.
Quali Torque Scales Software Testing Environments
Leverage IaC
Quali Torque leverages your Infrastructure as Code and other application resources so you can create Environment as Code templates that can be launched on-demand.
AI Infrastructure Orchestration
Submit basic AI prompts describing how your IaC resources should be configured and Quali Torque will automatically design that environment and generate a reusable Environment as Code template to provision it.
Self-Service Launch
Provide developers a self-service catalog to launch your Environment as Code templates in just a few simple clicks, all while managing role-based permissions, security authentication, and cloud governance policies automatically.
Continuous Governance
Improve performance, security, and cost efficiency with continuous monitoring for configuration drift and violations of your cloud governance policies.
Cost & Activity Reports
Track all activity and associated costs by the users and teams responsible for them so you can act on opportunities to improve efficiency proactively.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Quali Torque supports Infrastructure as Code tools. Our platform connects directly to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and other Git repositories to automatically discover and leverage Infrastructure as Code modules. We support IaC tools like Terraform and AWS CloudFormation, infrastructure automation tools like Ansible and Quali CloudShell, and container tools like Helm and native Kubernetes.
Once discovered, Quali Torque imports the infrastructure configurations defined in those modules as inputs in a YAML file that defines the dependencies and the outputs needed to support a specific workload. Quali Torque can then deploy those environments repeatedly, maintain configurations continuously, automate deployment and shutdown based on custom schedules, and set governance policies to deny deployment of any environment that violates their rules.
Think of Quali Torque as the orchestration and deployment layer for demo or POC environments based on Infrastructure as Code.
Self-service access is based on user permission. Administrators, who are typically the DevOps engineers responsible for provisioning testing environments, can publish and approved template to Quali Torque’s native self-service catalog, where users can deploy them on demand. Integrations also allow access to approved testing environments directly within CI/CD or IDP tools that testers rely on.
Since Quali Torque manages the environment definition, it enforces role-based permissions for editing those definitions. Only administrators can modify infrastructure configurations, while users only have access to deploy environments.
Torque also manages and encrypts all secrets for your cloud infrastructure, including account credentials, certificates, and keys. This allows your teams to distribute access to run infrastructure without leaking secrets publicly.
Admins can also set custom policies in Torque. For example, setting a policy to prohibit a specific cloud service or platform will deny the deployment of any environment containing the service or platform listed in the policy. This prevents misconfiguration from DevOps team members with admin access as well.
Quali Torque orchestrates and deploys testing environments based on the configurations defined in the template. This allows admins to set schedules that automate the deployment and termination of cloud infrastructure supporting those environments.
Admins can set a workflow to deploy all AWS and Azure cloud VMs supporting a testing team at the beginning of the workday, then terminate those VMs at the end of the workday. This ensures uptime as soon as testing teams begin their day, while also preventing unnecessary cloud costs for testing environments that are left running overnight or over a weekend.
If a tester or developer needs to run an environment beyond those hours, the UI allows them to delay the enforcement of the workflow and ensure uptime up to a maximum duration, based on a pick-list managed by admins.
Additional customization allows admins to further refine cloud cost optimization by identifying and preventing the deployment of cloud resources for inactive teams. This allows testing teams to align cloud costs with actual testing needs.
Testers and developers are free to deploy and operate infrastructure based on configurations that the DevOps or IT administrators approve. Custom governance policies and role-based permissions prevent the risk of misconfigurations or other unapproved deployments.
This extends to day-2 actions on cloud resources. If a testing team needs to restart, connect, or temporarily shutdown cloud resources, Quali Torque provides a self-service UI to perform those actions.
This eliminates the need to submit a ticket for those basic actions, while eliminating the risk of noncompliant deployments based on Torque’s support for custom governance policies.
All testing environments are based on a reusable template defining the dependencies between infrastructure, services, and other inputs required to support the test–ensuring that every test deployed from that template reflects the same configurations.
To maintain quality, Quali Torque automatically monitors the state of the infrastructure configurations in each template and notifies admins about drift or other unexpected changes that can disrupt performance.
Admins can then push updates to de-bug or reconcile drift in a live environment, without shutting down or re-starting that environment.
At scale, this means testing teams no longer need to provision an environment for every test, while ensuring that the environment is up to date with the latest requirements.
