Show HN: Find bugs before your users do (opens in new tab)

Same here, might be the HN effect, but it just loaded for 15m and then bailed out with "an error occurred".

Good spot, thanks!

agree, we'll add one, does anyone know of any good template resources out there?

The crawler has been absolutely destroyed by HN, so I had to restart it- this is an unfortunate side effect of it being down. We'll add some better error handling on the client to fix this one.

Thanks for the feedback on the pricing, it's a very first draft, so will definitely have some rework and testing before we release the paid plans. The second tier is really targeted at SMBs, where the business value of finding a critical bug before customers run into it exceeds $199/month.

We want to do lots and lots of checks that we don't currently do, e.g. linting the JS, correct MIME type checking, screenreader support, SEO, HTML/CSS validation, i8ln, intelligent form submitting, different browser agent support, responsive design, external font rendering

The hard part so far has been getting the crawler right, as some of you can probably see it's still a bit buggy.

thank you! I was hunting for a similar bug and I think you've uncovered it.

Relative location headers are in HTTP 1.1 so we should respect them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_location#Relative_URL_exam...

Thanks! will fix that one asap

That top bar is actually a cloudflare app- it should disappear when you tap/click it?

Thanks for the feedback on the pricing. You may be right, we probably need another plan that handles more links and less sites.

At my company I wrote our internal front-end testing tool (based on the awesome nightwatch.js[1]). We do unit testing with Chrome, Firefox, IE and Phantomjs, but we also grab screenshots at a variety of resolutions, checking all the links and images (not just for working-ness, but also for content), web font rendering, recording performance API data, and more. From their feature list I'd guess bughunt.io is planning something quite similar. This is just an MVP. It's an interesting idea.

Did not know that, thanks, it's gone.

Thanks for the shout out! Automated testing is great...the more you can automate, the better! For the things you can't automate, Pay4Bugs (https://www.pay4bugs.com) helps you get lots of human eyes searching for problems in your product quickly and for minimal cost.

There's no reason, we'll fix that one

It's the problem with using <input type="url">. It's your browser that is rejecting the URL.

All of those tools are targeted at ensuring that bots can crawl a site correctly (usually for SEO purposes).

Bughunt aims to find bugs a real user would run into.

It does this by using an actual web browser to crawl (not just HTTP requests). This means it supports Single Page Apps, JavaScript and anything else (including external scripts & images) that the page requires to render correctly.

Bughunt can replace a large chunk of point and click QA regression testing, without ever having to write automated scripts.

I've never tried that, but I'm going to guess that it won't take the port number into account. We could definitely make that happen though, as that's a very valid use case, thanks!
