Question 1

Are all IA-QA tools free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All 139 tools on ia-qa.com are permanently free with no usage limits, no credit card required, and no account needed.

Question 2

Is my data safe when using IA-QA tools?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the surface, and each one says what it sends. Many web tools run entirely in your browser. The MCP server and @ia-qa/cli run every tool on ia-qa.com's server, so whatever you pass to a tool is sent there, including a provider API key given to a bring-your-own-key tool; some web tools (LangChain and LangGraph runs, VLM tests, Anthropic calls through /mcp/llm-proxy) do the same. @ia-qa/self-healing, @ia-qa/qa-discovery and @ia-qa/pal run on your machine and send nothing to ia-qa.com.

Question 3

How can AI help a QA engineer?

Accepted Answer

IA-QA gives QA engineers a step-by-step method (https://www.ia-qa.com/method#augmented-qa-journey) and tools to work augmented by AI: pal, a local app that tours your web app, tells you what broke and proposes repairs to your Playwright, Cypress or Selenium tests; a Jira to test suite generator; a diff-aware bug finder. A person always decides what is applied.

Question 4

How do I test an LLM, a RAG pipeline or an AI agent?

Accepted Answer

Start from the 4 evaluation axes (https://www.ia-qa.com/method#principles), then run tools that return a verdict: the Prompt Test Suite Runner, the RAG Pipeline Tester, IA-QA Shield against prompt injection and hallucinations, the Agent Trajectory Validator, and eval contracts you can gate CI on.

Question 5

Can AI agents call IA-QA tools programmatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. IA-QA exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://www.ia-qa.com/mcp, callable via JSON-RPC 2.0 with no authentication. An agent starts with get_testing_guidelines, which maps a testing goal to the tools to call — such as prompt_injection_scan, hallucination_check, run_eval_contract, generate_test_cases or diff_mappings.
