Automated, hosted UI tests with AI test discovery (octomind.dev)

Hacker News

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. We had never-ending problems with end-to-end testing. We tried many frameworks and tools and even looked into outsourced QA services. Nothing that wasn’t a pain for our dev teams to write and maintain wouldn’t hold back releases or be reasonably priced. We have a decent level of experience in baking AI into software products. It made sense to apply it to e2e testing. Whenever a test target is set, our AI agents discover user flows and interactions leading toward a desired user goal. This serves as the foundation for creating deterministic test cases. We use it for automated test case discovery and are working on expanding it to maintenance so that broken tests can self-heal. We’ve built Octomind on top of Playwright, which is imho the most advanced framework for end-to-end testing today. We don’t need access to your code, and the generated Playwright code is yours. We run and host the tests. We report the test results in our app or directly in PR comments if you integrate Octomind with your CI pipeline. To help with debugging, we’ve integrated Trace Viewer and created Debugtopus - an open-source tool for local debugging. (see https://github.com/OctoMind-dev ). We’re still in an early access mode, so any feedback from the community would be appreciated. Try us out for free. We want to keep the freemium option even as we grow.
