24 alternatives to Autospec – open-source agent that generates E2E tests for your web app
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…

Hey HN! We've developed OpenAPI AutoSpec, a tool for automatically generating OpenAPI specifications from localhost network traffic. It’s designed to simplify the creation of API documentation by just using your website or service, especially useful when you're pressed for time. Documenting endpoints one by one sucks. This project originated from us needing it at our past jobs when building 3rd-party integrations. It acts as a local server proxy that listens to your application’s HTTP traffic and automatically translates this into OpenAPI 3.0 specs, documenting endpoints, requests, and…

Hey HN, We’ve been building browser agents for a while. In production, we kept converging on the same pattern: deterministic scripts for the happy path, agents only for edge cases. So we built Demonstrate Mode. The idea is simple: You perform your workflow once in a remote browser. Notte records the interactions and generates deterministic automation code. How it works: - Record clicks, inputs, navigations in a cloud browser - Compile them into deterministic code (no LLM at runtime) - Run and deploy on managed browser infrastructure Closest analog is Playwright codegen but: - Infrastructure…

QA.tech 1.0▲413Hi, I'm Daniel, CEO of QA.tech. We've spent the past 18 months developing a cool tool that allows you to run end-to-end tests on any web application using natural language. Check it out and let us know what you think! I used to be a CTO at a B2C marketplace and was taken aback that all qa agencies we talked to wanted to create a custom suite of tests from scratch. Even though we were essentially a e-com with the same functionality as everyone else. Why weren't there any best practices? Some time later my co-founders and I had moved on and were looking for the next thing to do. AI agents…

Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

Hey HN! We’ve been building an MCP server to help AI-assisted web app developers by using browser agents to test whether changes made by an AI inside an editor actually work. We've been testing it on scenarios like verifying new flows in a UI, or checking that sending a chat request triggers a response. The idea is to let your coding agent both code and evaluate if what it did was correct. Here’s a short demo with Cursor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AoQK-bwR0w When building apps, we found the hardest part of AI-assisted coding isn’t the coding—it’s tedious point-and-click…

Hey HN! We built a browser-based agent that runs inside an authenticated web app, watches how the app calls its own APIs, and automatically turns those into agent tools. You can think of it as an auto-generated MCP server that self-updates as the host app changes. The result is a skilled AI assistant that actually integrates deeply with any product (not just chat and RAG) with minimal effort. Check out these short demos below that show the agent in software you're probably familiar with: - Jira: https://demo.frigade.com/hn?skill=jira - Spotify:…

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…

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 HN, I’d like to share an open-source project we’ve been working on for a while: Browser4. The motivation came from a recurring frustration: most browser automation tools (Playwright, Selenium, Puppeteer) are excellent for human-written scripts, but start to show friction when used as a core execution layer for AI agents or at very high concurrency. So instead of building “another wrapper around Playwright”, we experimented with a different direction: designing a browser engine where AI agents are first-class citizens. ### What Browser4 is Browser4 is a browser automation engine built on…

Hi HN! After a year of R&D at Inria (the French national lab), we have just open-sourced Ebiose. Ebiose is a distributed, Darwin-style playground where AI architect agents design, test, and improve other agents. Instead of AI built behind closed doors, anyone can spin up a forge, state a problem, and watch candidate agents compete until the fittest survive. An example instruction given to an Ebiose forge: "Build a LangGraph agent that processes SaaS customer refunds directly through our ERP, escalating to a human for edge cases. Use the following tools: ERP API, email/Twilio…

TLDR: Desktop app for E2E web test generation, built at JetBrains (closed beta). Record the flow in a built-in browser - the agent matches it with your existing codebase, then writes a test that passes, not a draft to debug. Devs use AI to ship more code. That code still needs testing. If your team writes E2E tests by hand, you have a problem - same QA capacity, way more surface to cover. AI agents can write E2E test code, but you're stuck describing flows in text - the agent clicks around via Playwright MCP, takes wrong turns, you re-prompt, retry. 30 minutes for a flow you could click…

I am Marc, the co-founder of octomind.dev. I am a former chess player turned machine learner turned entrepreneur. I always wanted to develop products based on the latest AI research. I did it at my previous startup with computer vision and now at octomind.dev with LLMs/agents. Octomind is an AI-powered end-to-end testing platform for web apps. You enter your URL, and we will auto-generate, run, and auto-maintain UI tests. My co-founder Daniel and I used to work together in our previous AI startup.
