🤯 I was impressed! Exploratory testing mixing up with automation test in a vibe that feels both smart and effortless. This AI-based tool doesn’t just execute scripts; it decides which domain or area to handle the moment it enters the site. It dynamically explores, learns the system’s behavior, and adapts its testing focus in real time, just like a skilled human tester, but faster.
The interface is smooth, integrations work seamlessly, and the AI’s decision making feels genuinely intelligent. My only wish is that the session time could be extended, as one hour isn’t quite enough. A 90 minutes session would give it the space to dig deeper, uncover more insights, and show its full potential.
Overall, this is a powerful and innovative tool that brings creativity and intelligence into software testing.
🎉 LAUNCH SPECIAL: FREE IN OCTOBER ONLY 🎉
Hey Fam! 👋
I'm Huy, Product Lead for Scout, and I'm incredibly excited to share what we've been building.
Who We Are
We're the team behind Katalon - we've spent over a decade becoming experts in software testing, helping thousands of companies ship quality software. But recently, something changed for us.
The "Aha" Moment
We started using Replit and Lovable to build projects ourselves. And suddenly, we felt the pain our users were about to feel:
We were vibe-coding... but still enterprise-testing.
We could ship an entire app in an afternoon with AI, but our own testing tools required days of setup, complex scripts, and QA expertise. It felt - slow.
That's when we realized: vibe-coders need vibe-testing.
Why Scout Is Different
After testing thousands of apps built on Replit, Lovable, or using AI-assisted tools like Cursor or Claude Code, we noticed patterns. These platforms have common issues that traditional testing tools miss:
- AI-generated code quirks that look fine but break in edge cases
- Rapid iteration bugs from deploying 10 times a day
- UI inconsistencies from combining AI-generated components
- Mobile responsiveness issues that no-code builders don't catch
Scout is built specifically to find these issues - the ones that actually matter for AI-built apps. Simply add scoutqa.ai before your link and we will do the magic for you. https://scoutqa.ai/
What Scout Does:
🚦 Traffic Light Reports: Forget QA jargon. Green = ship it. Yellow = check this. Red = fix now. That's it.
🤖 AI Fix Prompts: When Scout finds issues, it gives you prompts to paste directly into your AI coding tool. No debugging, just fix.
⚡ Fast as Your Build: You iterate in minutes. Scout tests in seconds. Built on AWS Bedrock + Amazon Nova Act.
🎯 Knows the Vibe Platforms: We've tuned Scout for common patterns
The Philosophy
Testing shouldn't slow down your vibe. Scout understands that when you're building with AI:
- You don't have time for test scripts
- You don't want to learn QA frameworks
- You just need to know: "Does my app work?"
- And if not: "What do I tell my AI to fix?"
That's vibe testing.
Try It Now - Free only this October. Magic link authentication. No credit card. Start testing your vibe-coded apps in 30 seconds.
What's Next:
- CLI for terminal lovers
- MCP Servers for using in your assistants
Even deeper Replit/Lovable platform intelligence
Questions for You:

P.S. - 🇻🇳 Proud to represent Vietnamese innovation on the global stage with AWS!
Congrats on the launch team! 🎉
As someone who builds a lot on Replit, this really resonates - I've hit those subtle AI-generated quirks that slip past quick manual testing. The idea of "vibe testing" feels spot-on for the speed AI builders move at.
Curious - how does Scout handle dynamic or stateful UIs on Replit-hosted apps (like forms or interactive dashboards)? Does it adapt automatically like Nova Act, or do we still need to guide it with test intents?
Excited to give it a spin today.
@slowey Appreciate it! Great question on stateful UIs.
Technical approach:
Scout uses Amazon Bedrock + Nova Act, so it's doing actual browser automation with AI-guided exploration:
Discovery phase - Maps your app structure (routes, components, interactions)
Interaction phase - Fills forms, clicks buttons, triggers state changes
Validation phase - Checks if expected outcomes happened (form submitted? error shown? state updated?)
It's autonomous by default - no test script writing. Just point it at your Replit URL.
On dynamic/stateful:
✅ Handles form validations, multi-step flows
✅ Detects state changes and UI updates
✅ Catches console errors during interactions
🚧 Complex state machines (working on it)
🚧 WebSocket/real-time updates (tuning this)
Test intents (coming soon):
You're spot on - we're building guided testing for "test this specific flow with these conditions." Right now it's exploratory, but declarative test intents are on the roadmap for next releases.
Real ask:
Since you're building on Replit, would love if you could try Scout on some of your apps and tell me:
What it caught that surprised you
What it missed that you expected it to find
What reporting would make this actually useful for your workflow
Your feedback would directly shape what we build next.
Try it: scoutqa.ai
Or DM me the URLs and I'll run them + share detailed results.
Super exciting, in the era of AI Native app, I highly recommend this testing innovation tool for not only vibe developers but also it is a useful partner for developers, especially lazy in testing new products like me :tada:
@phatpham Firstly, congratulations on the launch, it’s a really impressive product. I’m very interested to try it.
Let’s say we are a small business whose main purpose is to provide websites, web apps, and solutions to help verify small businesses such as stores and small academies, with features like booking, internal management, and e-learning.
The main challenge is that we create many websites, but the functionality is not very complex. Because of this, it doesn’t really justify hiring a senior QA. However, when we rely on freshers or juniors, the quality is often not good enough. So I think this is right solution for me and team now.
But it seems the reports are gone after the run. How can we keep track of quality from build to build? Also, what is the scoring benchmark? It would be great if it’s legitimate so I can show it to my client.
@phatpham @artezy Thanks so much! You just described exactly the use case we built Scout for – that gap between "not complex enough for senior QA" but "too important to skip testing" is real.On report persistence & build tracking:You're right that this is critical, and honestly, we're super early here. Right now reports are ephemeral, but we're actively building:
Project dashboard - persistent history of all your test runs with timestamps
Evolution tracking - side-by-side comparison showing what changed between builds (what got better, what broke, what's new)
Shareable report links - permanent URLs you can send to clients
The evolution tracking piece is actually one of our core features - we want you to see "this was green yesterday, now it's red" automatically.
Should have the dashboard live within the next 2 weeks. Would love to have you as an early user to help shape exactly what you need for client reporting.
On scoring & benchmarks:
Great question. Our scoring is based on:
Functional completeness (do all features work as expected)
Error rate (console errors, network failures, broken interactions)
User flow completion (can users complete critical paths)
We're working on industry benchmarking so you can say "your site scores 87/100, which is above average for booking platforms."
For now, the Traffic Light Report (red/yellow/green for each feature) tends to work well with clients because it's visual and clear, somehow overwhelming I would say, we are calibrating report as well so that it's easier to read for layman users.
Here's what I'd suggest:
Since you're exactly our target user, would you be open to:
Try Scout on 2-3 of your client sites this week
Quick 15min call to show us what client reporting you actually need
We'll prioritize building exactly that (persistent reports, comparison view, client-friendly formatting)
In exchange, you get early access to all these features + probably some free credits.Sound good? DM me or email huy.tieu@scoutqa.ai and let's make this work for your use case.

@phatpham Congrats on the launch! Not really new but seem promising and better than which I have seen
@phatpham @ervin_ll Thanks Ervin and Phat for your comments, please try the product and feedback to us, we are super excited that it's something you are looking for, we are super early but you will see that we will evolve along the way
The "AI Fix Prompts" feature is beneficial for me and non-tech people. It's helped me to adjust the prompt instantly instead of try to find/write another prompt to fix the bug based on the report.
@sanh_tran Thanks for your feedback, more to come. Let's us know if you think what else we need to enhance in the next release!
Nervous launch date is real :D
