BugBug.io

Hi Product Hunt! It's been over three years since I co-founded and ran BugBug as CTO. For our first comment, we wanted to make it special, so we put together a humorous story. If you want to skip the long read, scroll down to TLDR ✌. ——————— It was a frosty and windy morning. Paul walked into the office, where a security guard had just listened to a commercial on the radio for the latest iPhone 8 with "groundbreaking" Memoji technology. The office was bursting at the seams. Even through the glass door, Paul could tell something was not quite right. 'Paul, our login is broken after the release! Bugs on prod!' 'Here we go again! Couldn't we have some automated tests?' Paul reflected. 'You know we couldn't possibly accomplish automation; there's no one to develop tests. And you know we can't afford to hire a full-time QA engineer. ' *** Four o'clock AM. Paul refilled himself with another shot of yerba mate. The whole night he had been looking for a tool to help his team create automated end-to-end tests. He couldn't understand why automating functional tests had to be so difficult. "Why has nobody made a solution that just works? All I tried is slow or unusable," Paul thought. "Wait a minute... After all, all you need to do is write a simple extension for Chrome. It shouldn't take more than a week...". *** Two years later. Paul was patching the remaining bugs in his visually unappealing proof of concept. "Simplifying testing is possible!” Paul realized. “I'll start a company, build a small but mighty team, and we'll release it in 3 months." *** Another two years later. The BugBug team was polishing up the final details before releasing the new highly requested features. "Variables & profiles are probably the biggest pull request in my career". - announced the front-end developer, correcting his pajama pants, which fortunately were not visible on his webcam. "I smell that startup users will love it," the UX designer commented. "I don't smell anything. I think I have Covid." "I can't hear anything. The baby is screaming again", grunted Paul. The back-end developer just nodded and smiled gently. *** One year later. Paul was getting his son ready for daycare. The left hand was putting on the baby's shoe, the right hand was checking emails. He couldn't resist checking how customers reacted to the new BugBug pricing. There you go! New feedback from a software agency! "In two days, we managed to automate test cases that took us weeks with other software. Great tool!" Ah, another startup upgraded from a free plan to a premium version. Ah, and another one. And another... ——————— TLDR on BugBug: 👉 Our mission: we want to make testing better by making it easier 👉 Best for startups & software agencies 👉 Ultra-simple test recording 👉 User-friendly interface 👉 Free forever option 👉 Professional-grade features such as variables, profiles, custom JS, components, waiting conditions, CI/CD integrations, and more 👉 Cost-efficient pricing What’s new in 2.0: ✓ Unlimited cloud runs ✓ Variables & environment profiles ✓ Showing cursor position when running tests ✓ Auto-retry failed suites ✓ Handling browser alerts and prompts ✓ Better iframe support ✓ Better multi-tab support ✓ Hundreds of stability improvements I’d like to thank the whole BugBug team - I’m amazed at what we’ve been able to build.
