We Built Automated Testing for Vibe-Coded Apps
Key topics
The problem: AI tools like Cursor made us 10x faster at shipping, but manual testing is still slow.
Buffalo spawns browser agents that click everything users would click, in ways you didn't test. They find the bugs before your users do.
How it works:
1. Paste your staging URL 2. Agents systematically test all interaction paths 3. Get a detailed report with scoring for different category
Would love your feedback.
Free during beta: buffalos.ai
The creators of buffalos.ai introduce their automated testing tool for web applications, aiming to catch bugs before users do, and seek feedback from the HN community.

A crawler alone is just a static check. Our north star is trying to fix the last step from vibe coding to the production, like spawning a browser user agent that actually navigates through the app like a first-time user. Another roadmap idea is to build a browser agent that connects with coding AIs (like Cursor or Claude) to provide automated testing right after a feature is implemented. For example, when we use Claude to build something, we constantly have to flip between the terminal and browser to keep design consistent. The thought is: what if Claude’s code had “eyes” to test what it just built in real time?
Overall, thanks so much for your response. honestly I didn’t expect anyone to reply. This is my first time on HN, and it’s been an awesome interaction!
