In plain words

Loadmill converts Jira stories and plain-English requirements into automated test flows for web and mobile applications. It uses AI agents to generate executable tests without requiring manual automation code, reducing reliance on fragile UI selectors that break with interface changes. Teams can design, review, and manage tests in a single platform, then run them headlessly. The tool targets QA teams struggling with slow and maintenance-heavy traditional mobile testing automation.

From the sources

Turn Jira stories, epics, and plain-English requirements into executable flows across web and mobile platforms. Traditional mobile automation is slow to expand and painful to maintain. UI changes break selector-based scripts, and teams spend cycles fixing tests instead of increasing coverage. The real bottleneck is translating test intent into reliable automation. Turn high-level scenarios into executable scripts without writing automation code. Reduce dependence on brittle locators and UI hierarchies that constantly change. Design, review, run, and manage tests in one place, then run headlessly in CI. Describe a scenario such as "test signup with valid and invalid email flows" and the…from loadmill.com

  • Why write code if the LLM can just do the thing? (web app experiment)Nov 2025 · github.com · ▲436

    I spent a few hours last weekend testing whether AI can replace code by executing directly. Built a contact manager where every HTTP request goes to an LLM with three tools: database (SQLite), webResponse (HTML/JSON/JS), and updateMemory (feedback). No routes, no controllers, no business logic. The AI designs schemas on first request, generates UIs from paths alone, and evolves based on natural language feedback. It works—forms submit, data persists, APIs return JSON—but it's catastrophically slow (30-60s per request), absurdly expensive ($0.05/request), and has zero UI…

    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.

    Loadjitsu – a modern load testing alternative to JMeter2022 · loadjitsu.com · ▲67

    Please meet Loadjitsu, my weekend project, years in the making. Over the years while building different apps and sites, I always felt that I need a modern load testing software.Tools like JMeter, ab are not very easy to use and it seems innovation in load testing which is a crucial part of any software release cycle has been ignored. This is my third attempt at making Loadjitsu, I am so glad that I can finaly release this. A bit more about the software 1. Powered by golang you can run load tests for tens of thousands of connections per second on very average hardware. 2. Cross platform, run…
