Hello Product Hunt!
Yordan here, one of Buglab’s co-founders.
Being a designer and front-end developer for a decade now, I’m deeply in love with quality software. But in order to consume quality web content someone has to create it. Furthermore, someone has to ensure the quality in the long run.
Working together with my co-founders for 9 out of those 10 years in the field, we noticed an odd gap in the software world. A huge amount of software is produced on a daily basis. Especially in the last few years. The vast majority of the effort is focused on the development and testing of the logic or the functional back-end of software. Little to no resources are dedicated to the user interfaces of those complex solutions.
We’ve experienced all of the pain points in ensuring software quality over the years. Surprisingly for us, the UI testing market didn’t provide a good enough solution for our own internal testing needs.
We tried to solve our problem in-house. As it turns out, a lot of teams lack the capital or the human resource to ensure UI quality in the long run, as we did.
That’s why we created Buglab.
We designed Buglab around resource optimization and ease of use.
With Buglab you:
can test the UI of your web apps with ease;
can spend your time on the important stuff. Not counting pixels on a screen;
get notified when something goes wrong (before your clients see it);
don’t need to code;
don’t need to provide access to your codebase or add any third-party scripts;
don’t need to do manual work over and over again;
Even though we are not directly focusing on functional testing, you can create custom tests with human-like behaviours: click buttons, fill inputs, submit forms, scroll pages, and more.
The result of your tests will produce both of the following:
Visual comparisons - screenshots comparing your baseline to the current state of the UI. Everything red equals discrepancies.
Snapshots of the rendered HTML of the tested web pages - making it easy to find the root cause of any discrepancies.
And a few corner cases we never thought of, but our early adopters did:
One migrated servers and lost client data with no backups (OOPS!). The data was completely retrieved from the test results in Buglab.
One is keeping tabs on Terms and Conditions pages and Privacy policy pages.
Thank you for your support!
@yordan_nenov Do you see any competitors on the market and what is your advantage?
@bogomep Thank you for the question.
We've identified a few competitors on the market of course. Most if not all have high barriers to entry, require development experience, and are quite pricy.
We did our best to minimise all those requirements and provide an easy-to-use testing tool for people with various backgrounds.
You can use Buglab to ensure your website is up and running.
And you can use it to test complex end-to-end and UI cases.
Give it a try and tell us what you think!
We are actively listening.
As a founder that supports several websites and platforms on my own this is a great tool. I really like that I can make changes without worrying about messing things up on the UI/UX side. This happens a lot because I don't really understand front-end well, and I'm just learning by trial and error.
@lubomir_fotev1 Thank you!
One of the key components of Buglab is its ease of use.
Especially when several web properties should be monitored regularly.
@yordan_nenov Congratulations on launching this innovative project!
Your automated testing solution has a potential to be a game-changer for detecting UI/UX issues, accelerating development, and ensuring top-notch software quality.
Keep up the great work!
@vladyslav_presnov Thank you!
Top software quality is what we aim for as both developers and users.
@zenda1122 Thank you! In one use case, the time reduction using Buglab compared to other methods landed at 25 times. That surprised us even more than our client.
Buglab AI seems like a game-changer! How does it handle complex, dynamic interfaces, and what kind of reporting features does it offer?
@memphys_sk Thanks!
You can set up user interactions in the interface. Clicking, hovering, typing text, and so on. The same way a user will interact with it. In all cases, the tests will create a baseline and every next run the current state will be compared to the baseline.
On the reporting side, we have a complete overview of the visual results and HTML of the tested pages.
In addition, you will receive an email whenever a test fails.
We are continuously expanding and improving the platform, so more options will be available down the line.
@heykairat Thank you!
I do hope client-facing software testing becomes the norm.
Congrats on the launch! How does Buglab handle complex UI elements like dynamic content or interactive components, and can it integrate seamlessly into existing development workflows without disrupting productivity?
@r_martirosyan Thank you for the questions!
You can choose what to do with dynamic content. Either ignore it if it's something like an ad slot for example or keep tabs on the changes every time a test is complete.
Interactive components can be interacted with. Buttons can be clicked, elements hovered, and inputs filled, just to mention a few examples.
We've built Buglab as a stand-alone tool. As development workflows evolve, there are many ways to develop a product. With that in mind, Buglab will not interfere with the workflow directly. You can decide what to these and when to test. We use it in both Production and Development environments.
@bonvisions share some good results here. I am also curious how the other is using it!
Sounds like a very good idea! I looked at examples of use on the site, yes, it really makes the job of a QA engineer easier!
Hey @yordan_nenov congrats on the launch! 🥳
What could be the USP of your product which makes it different from another??
keep going.
@sheikhirfan10 Thank you!
While I can list more than a few USPs, I'll just mention the ease of use / low barrier to entry and the competitive pricing.
This is a great and very useful addition to designing. Congrats on the launch.
@tracey_barbour Thank you!
A PM suggested using Buglab to track the progress between the design and development teams. Quite interesting. We didn't think of that option.
What is the best time for a data centre to go unresponsive?
When you launch on Product Hunt!
We are so sorry. Sadly, there is nothing we can do at the moment.
I'll be sure to update here when everything is up and running again.
EDIT: It looks like we are up and running again!
Apologies for the inconvenience.
