    Hey HN, we're launching SprintZen – an AI-powered test case management platform that helps teams write, organize, and sync tests without the mess. It generates test cases from user stories or PRs, integrates with Jira, Linear, and Monday, and auto-reports bugs. We built this after working with 15+ startups (YC-backed and others) and seeing how painful test maintenance can get. Would love your feedback.
