I built a tool to be the future of E2E testing
Summarized version: I built an AI tool to do automated testing for you. It’s super new — so I’m giving free access to those who want to help provide feedback. Just check out testingbee.io and reach out to me there. — Spencer :)
A few years ago, I was building a product at a startup, moving fast, shipping features daily — until our test suite became the biggest bottleneck.
Every small UI change would break our E2E tests. Fixing them was a full-time job.
Our test suite, which was supposed to give us confidence, was doing the opposite. It was slowing us down, causing false alarms, and requiring constant maintenance.
At one point, I remember merging what I thought was a harmless UI tweak — just moving a button. And boom — dozens of tests failed overnight.
I spent hours debugging, only to realize the tests weren’t actually broken. They were just too fragile to handle real-world changes.
And that brings us to the root of the problem.
Traditional automated tests are too fragile to handle real world products
So, I knew there must be a better way.
