Introduction
DebuggAI is a Zero-Config, Fully AI-Managed End-to-End Testing platform that allows engineers to focus on the features, not the tests. Our AI agents test UI changes, simulate user behavior, and analyze visual outputs of running web applications — all via natural language and IDE extensions.
What DebuggAI Does
Most AI coding tools focus on writing code.
DebuggAI focuses on the other 50% of an engineer's life: getting it to run.
| Problem | Traditional Testing | DebuggAI Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Complex test setup and maintenance | Manual test configuration, environment setup, test databases | Zero configuration - connects directly to your localhost, no setup required |
| Time-consuming test writing | Writing XPath selectors, test scripts, managing test data | Natural language test descriptions: "test the login flow" |
| Fragmented testing workflow | Context switching between IDE, test runners, CI/CD | Native IDE integration with VS Code and Cursor extensions |
| Slow feedback loops | Deploy to staging, run tests, fix issues, repeat | Instant testing against your local development environment |

Core Features
🎯 Zero Configuration Testing
- No Setup Required: When you're early in a product's life, you don't want to deal with test pipelines, test databases, or environments that change weekly
- Localhost Integration: Tests run directly against your development server (localhost:3000) via secure tunnels
- Instant Feedback: No deployment delays - test your changes immediately
💬 Natural Language Test Creation
- Text-Based Tests: Simply describe what you want to test: "test the login flow"
- AI-Powered Generation: Our agents understand your application and create comprehensive test scenarios
- No XPath Nightmares: Forget about complex selectors and brittle test scripts
🔧 Native IDE Integration
- VS Code & Cursor Extensions: Full integration with your development environment
- Test Results Panel: Results appear directly in your IDE's Test Results panel
- Command Palette Access: Quick access via keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+Alt+C)
🤖 Intelligent Test Management
- Automated Test Repair: Our agents recognize the difference between purposeful changes and broken workflows
- Commit-Based Testing: Automatically generate tests for your code changes
- Test Suite Generation: Create comprehensive test suites for different app sections
🌐 Remote Browser Management
- Cloud Browser Infrastructure: We handle all browser management remotely
- Clean Development Environment: No browser installations or driver management
- Scalable Execution: Run multiple tests in parallel without local resource constraints
