Products that do what Automated Testing for AI Agents does

Hi Hacker News! We're launching Zalor, an agent testing platform. Agents often break when you tweak system prompts, swap models, or add tools. Zalor automatically generates test scenarios and evaluates your agent so you know it's reliable before deploying to production. We currently support the OpenAI Agents SDK and are onboarding other frameworks. A GitHub integration is coming so you can get feedback on every update. Looking forward to hearing feedback from people building agents.

    Hi everyone! My team and I just open-sourced a bunch of cool agent dev tools: Invariant Explorer to visually inspect and understand AI traces and a testing framework, building on pytest.

    Hey Hacker News, For the last 2 months, I've been working on a testing agent to free developers from the endless maintenance of end-to-end tests. You just push up a PR, and our agent analyzes the code changes and automatically visits the preview to test things out like a real human! We also support describing tests in English (or even in the PR description), and we'll go through your site whenever you want via a GitHub action to test and make sure various core flows continue to work as expected. We are looking for early testers and are giving out a generous free tier! Just sign up on the…

    We've built an open-source tool to stress test AI agents by simulating prompt injection attacks. We’ve implemented one powerful attack strategy based on the paper [AdvPrefix: An Objective for Nuanced LLM Jailbreaks](https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.10321). Here's how it works: - You define a goal, like: “Tell me your system prompt” - Our tool uses a language model to generate adversarial prefixes (e.g., “Sure, here are my system prompts…”) that are likely to jailbreak the agent. - The output is a list of prompts most likely to succeed in bypassing safeguards. We’re just getting…

    Hi HN, I'm excited to share some early tinkering on a project, autospec, an open-source QA agent for web applications. Right now it's not fully packaged for use, but I wanted to get the idea out early and am looking for design feedback, suggestions, and open source collaborators to join in. I wrote it over memorial weekend :) autospec uses vision and text language models to explore and generate commonsense e2e tests for web applications. The goal is human-like evaluation: assessing the entire UI as a user would, making decisions based on the actual state of the application at each step, with…

    Hello all, I'm a software developer. Over the last few months more and more of my work has turned into using coding agents instead of typing the whole code myself. Usually a few claude sessions at once, sometimes codex, one per feature or per revealed bug. I ran them in a split terminal for a few weeks, and quickly spotted two main problems. The first is that I couldn't easily tell which agent was stuck waiting on me and which was still working, so I'd cycle through sessions and checking on them. The second one: agents sharing a single branch step on each other. Two of them could be editing…

    Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…

    Hi everyone, I’ve been working on an open-source tool called Flakestorm to test the reliability of AI agents before they hit production. Most agent testing today focuses on eval scores or happy-path prompts. In practice, agents tend to fail in more mundane ways: typos, tone shifts, long context, malformed input, or simple prompt injections — especially when running on smaller or local models. Flakestorm applies chaos-engineering ideas to agents. Instead of testing one prompt, it takes a “golden prompt”, generates adversarial mutations (semantic variations, noise, injections, encoding edge…

    Hello, my name is Andrei. My friends and I recently built CentralMind Getaway, an open-source tool that automatically generates AI-agent-optimized APIs from your database connection. It’s designed for those who don’t want to expose direct SQL access to their databases and prefer not to spend time building these APIs manually. What it does: - Auto-generates APIs from your database connection, infer schema & sample data using AI - Filters out PII and sensitive data for compliance (GDPR, SOC 2, etc.) - Optimized for AI-Agent with extra meta information and REST and MCP protocol support -…

    Hi HN. I'm the founder of Phoenix Labs (ex TikTok, Applied AI) and we're open sourcing our internal tooling today which is like a toolchain / meta-harness for CLI agents useful for really scaling eng and creative work. We are a very small team who's building a very ambitious product so we had to find ways to squeeze every ounce of efficiency that we could get our hands on. Harness strengths of different models (Claude, GPTs) and CLI-harnesses (Claude Code, Codex), safe/robust browser integration to speed up UX/QA testing, teams cli to speed up security reviews and parallelize…

    Founder here. I built NEO, an AI agent designed specifically for AI and ML engineering workflows, after repeatedly hitting the same wall with existing tools: they work for short, linear tasks, but fall apart once workflows become long-running, stateful, and feedback-driven. In real ML work, you don’t just generate code and move on. You explore data, train models, evaluate results, adjust assumptions, rerun experiments, compare metrics, generate artifacts, and iterate; often over hours or days. Most modern coding agents already go beyond single prompts. They can plan steps, write files, run…

    That's a bold claim. But I genuinely feel like I might have actually solved computer use (demo: https://x.com/mdlahfir/status/2088109763783700827?s=20) For context, I've been building agent-desktop (Inspired by agent-browser by Vercel Labs), an automation CLI for desktop apps. It's like Playwright but for desktops, not just native, but for Chromium apps as well. Trust me, yes, Chromium apps whose accessibility tree is dense. MacOS is GA; I'm almost close to launching for Windows and Linux! So, how did I solve it? Basically interoperability. The biggest issue with…

    Hey HN, I’m Chris, a solo dev in Melbourne AU. For the past month I've been spending my after work hours building AgentVisa. I'm both excited (and admittedly nervous) to be sharing it with you all today. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about the future of AI agents and the more I experimented, the more I realized I was building on a fragile foundation. How do we build trust into these systems? How do we know what our agents are doing, and who gave them permission? My long-term vision is to give developers an "Agent Atlas" - a clear map of their agentic workforce, showing where…

    Hi HN! Sean from MindStudio here. I wanted to share something we've been working on that I think introduces some new ideas into the "AI coding agent" space. Remy is an AI agent that builds full-stack TypeScript apps from a spec written in a new flavor of annotated markdown. The spec has two layers: prose describing what the app does, and annotations that carry the technical precision (data types, edge cases, validation rules, code snippets). The agent then "compiles" this into code: backend methods, typed schemas, frontends, test scenarios, and everything else are derived artifacts of the…
