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 ✌️

@fmerian @germandrummer92 @shivamchhuneja Thank you so much! Being able to release any time is part of our engineering culture here at Octomind. And decent test coverage is one of the stepping stones to make this happen :)

@fmerian Congrats! The QA Agent sounds like a huge time-saver for developers. How does it determine what to test automatically—does it learn from past test results or follow some kind of pattern? Looking forward to seeing how this makes the testing process smoother!

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.

@artagel Thanks so much, Dan! We're continuing to push forward with our mission, and I’m already excited about the next set of features we’ll be rolling out soon. We’re on a mission to redefine how testing is done!

@artagel same here, used it from the beta. The discovery has gotten way better, where they crawl your app and generate UI tests. It's already caught a few bugs before they hit production, where I accidentally broke something on a page. One time it was on my billing page, so it's already paid for itself.

Hey Makers! We’re back! After 60,840 generated tests since we went public with beta, we’re launching Octomind with even faster test auto-generation to take your testing chores off your plate. 1. You build. 2. We generate tests. 3. You refine. 4. We run them to catch bugs before your customers do. Back in February, we opened the Octomind beta to real users. Letting real-world apps with all their edge cases and challenges use Octomind gave us insights we couldn’t have gathered otherwise. Over the past 6 months, we’ve been rethinking and fine-tuning. We realized our AI agents perform better with more guidance, and you like more control over the tests they generate. 1. We start with a base of auto-generated tests. 2. From each one, you can tell Octomind to create three more sequential tests. 3. Click by click, you’ll build a comprehensive test suite, all under your control. Right now, Octomind covers your basic app functionality tests and runs them for you. You can handle the complex stuff in your current stack, deciding what gets automated and what remains manual. Octomind saves you serious time by automating test creation and execution. How much time? On average, it takes about an hour to outline, code, and verify a test case. Since our last launch on Product Hunt, we’ve saved a total of 60,840 hours for teams to focus on building great products. And there’s more! Soon, we’ll also maintain your tests automatically - detecting changes in your app and updating the tests accordingly. To celebrate, we’re offering a 20% discount on our paid tier for the next 12 months with the Product Hunt promo code CATMEETSOCTO. If we get 500+ votes today, we’ll bump that discount to 30% for everyone! Let me know what you think, I’m always listening! Marc

@fmerian It's been a long launch day and launch night :D
Vincent Delitz
@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?
Daniel Rödler
Maker
@marc_mengler @vdelitz This largely depends on the type of app being tested. For many apps, it's often clear what needs to be tested because common applications tend to follow standard workflows. However, things become less straightforward when you move into the SaaS space, where apps are much more domain-specific.

@vdelitz thanks for your support, Vincent! join the fun on LinkedIn :)

@vdelitz I'm glad you like it! Indeed, our first two attempts at nailing the AI part failed, but the third one was successful. It's easy to build a demo, but turning it into a robust product is difficult and always takes longer than initially estimated. The most common auto-generated tests deal with account creation & management and different payment options, so the critical, security and cash-critical parts!

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!

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!
Daniel Draper
Maker
@paul_von_berg Great question. I think we currently still struggle with files unfortunately but we have gotten that request a few times so will definitely get to it eventually. What do you mean by text, just natural language inputs, or rather form data? It really depends a little on the complexity of the process and UI, but of course the best way is to just try it. We love looking into the pesky complex websites that our Agent still struggles to understand, the web is really a crazy place!
Paul von Berg
@germandrummer92 awesome, that makes a lot of sense & it is for sure a place of endless complexity. I was thinking of just natural language inputs but both -also text fields- seems super relevant to have proper test cases for because there obviously comes in a lot of volatility/ attack potential. I will check it out, thanks Octominds ;) and looking forward to test that feature!
André J
🧐 Good find
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
Daniel Rödler
Maker
@sentry_co Hi André, thanks for your kind words! In fact we streamlined the whole onboarding process to lower the adoption barrier and we made it much simpler and a lot faster to increase your test suite. In addition our AI agent is now much more capable of handling all the different HTML we keep finding around the internet :)
Can Gerling
The UI looks super intuitive! Happy to never write tests again :D How do you manage updates on the front or back end?
Daniel Rödler
Maker
@canger Hi Can, since we are running the test cases we also see them fail. If this happens we are starting an extensive analysis process to find out if the test needs update (maintenance) or if it is a real problem with the frontend or the backend. This is what we call auto-maintenance. However, we only have it ready in an experimental version. If you want to use it, let us know, we can turn it on and demo it. Auto-maintenance for the general public might be the next Product Hunt launch :)
