An agent-powered QA tool that knows what to test without you telling it. Your very own junior QA that builds your tests from scratch and runs them to check your app for bugs. You build your app, we make sure it works.
Meow Product Hunt!
A few months ago, I hunted Octomind, the AI-powered testing tool for web apps.
Since then, the team has kept shipping continuously.
Today, Octomind introduces QA Agent — a tool that knows what to test without you telling it.
Over to you! Go to octomind.dev and start shipping with confidence ✌️
Congrats on launching @marc_mengler @germandrummer92 @ma_zah @daniel_rodler and the entire Octomind Team! 🎉
An AI-powered testing tool for web apps that catches bugs before users do is such a valuable addition for developers. The fact that Octomind automatically writes and updates tests without needing manual input is a massive time-saver for teams, and the ability to integrate it into CI/CD pipelines makes it even more powerful. Exciting stuff!
A couple of questions about the future of Octomind:
Handling complex app testing: As your AI evolves, how do you plan to address the needs of more complex web applications with dynamic elements and integrations? Are there plans to train your AI to handle intricate, real-time data or user interactions, which tend to be more difficult to test?
Test coverage and customization: Does Octomind allow developers to customize or tweak the tests it generates, or is it purely autonomous? It would be interesting to know how much flexibility dev teams have to adjust the AI-generated tests to fit specific use cases or edge scenarios that are unique to their app.
For some feedback:
The concept of automating tests with AI is fantastic, but I believe offering clear test coverage reports (e.g., what’s been tested, what potential gaps exist, etc.) would be incredibly helpful. This would give developers greater visibility into how thorough the AI’s testing is and ensure that they’re covering critical areas of their apps.
Suggestion: Consider enhancing the platform with detailed test coverage analytics to allow users to review and feel confident that key aspects of their web apps are being thoroughly tested. This could help teams prioritize which areas need manual intervention or further scrutiny.
I also noticed there’s no live chat support on the site. Adding a customer support chatbot could provide quick answers for users setting up their tests or trying to integrate the tool into their CI/CD pipeline. It would improve onboarding and make troubleshooting much faster for new users.
Overall, Octomind is tackling a significant pain point for developers, and I’m excited to see how it grows from here. Keep up the amazing work! 🙌
Octomind is incredible. They've have finally built a QA agent that actually works. Marc and team are great to work with!
when i used it minor issue occure the video link wasn't loading right wy on my end.might be worth quick check
Awesome, congratulations on the launch; I am very impressed with the innovation and work!
that is insane 🤯
the test cases it generated were pretty good! I needed to update a selector to be something less transient (it picked "has text: 178 images" in a image gallery 😂) but that was easy enough to do.
This could definitely make testing life less painful. Thanks!
Would be interesting to hear from the founders what this new initiative involves? What is this new QA Agent angle all about versus what was launched half a year ago. Seems like an upgrade but im not sure what's better over the old version. the old version was already best in class when I tested it. thanks
Hey Octominds, awesome tool! It looks really promising and could save a ton of work.
How well would you expect it performs today on more complicated webapps and workflows? Especially considering user interaction through text or files?
Thank you and enjoy your launch day!
Ocotmind is fantastic - Maria and her team are doing a great job and it's been an inspiration to see how fast they can ship new features. 80 releases since February is wild!
The UI looks super intuitive!
Happy to never write tests again :D
How do you manage updates on the front or back end?
I've used their product from almost the start. It's a great idea, and I think their founder Daniel is doing a great job pushing the tech forward. There's a lot of nuance in this space, but anything that truly automates QA will be a godsend.
@marc_mengler great work with the QA agent, really innovative and an AI-based solution that's not only fluff!
Out of curiosity, what kind of auto-generated tests usually are most liked / kept / used by your customers?
