We've added Playwright's Tracing capability for debugging end to end agentic test execution by our open source testing agent: https://github.com/test-zeus-ai/testzeus-hercules/. Coupled with the capability to log thoughts and inner monologue of the agent, now our users can review the direction taken by the agent; and steer it in the right direction. Or catch hidden bugs in the application under test.

Show HN: I used DeepSeek and TestZeus to do agentic testing

Hello, Robin here. I am one of the cofounders at Testzeus, and we had built an open source testing agent. Using AG2 framework, our agent uses tools like Playwright for browser interaction, Nuclei for security scanning or AXE for accessibility. So, with the release of Deepseek R1, and earlier launch of OpenAI Operator, I was curious if we could generate UI tests using Deepseek R1, and feed them directly to the open source testing agent for autonomous execution. And similar case with API testing, where we could feed an OpenAPI spec to Deepseek, ask it to generate tests and then directly run these tests with the testing agent. To my surprise, this pipeline worked pretty well for both UI and API scenarios. Here is a video around my observations: https://youtu.be/-gbNDZ1eqnY. We feel that engineering teams still struggle with velocity of deli

Show HN: Hercules Agent Adds Accessibility Testing as an Open-Source Skill

Hey HN, We’re excited to share a new skill added to *Hercules*, our open-source agent for automated testing. Starting today, Hercules can now perform *Accessibility Testing*, helping developers check their web applications against *WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 standards*. Here’s what it offers: - Automated scans for accessibility compliance - Detailed insights and suggestions for fixes - Super cost-efficient (scans can be done for less than a dollar) Our goal is to make accessibility testing more accessible (pun intended!) for developers and teams. This feature is built to enable engineers to integrate accessibility checks into their workflows without needing specialized expertise or large budgets. We’d love feedback from the community—whether you’re interested in contributing, testing it out, or just want to discuss how we can collective

Show HN: Open-source end to end software testing agent

As engineers, testers and product owners, we've all felt the frustration of flaky tests, endless maintenance, and tools that don’t quite fit our needs. That’s exactly why we built Hercules, the world’s first opensource software testing agent: Why we made it? 1⃣ To simplify end to end testing cycles : API, Web, Database, and Security testing—all in one place 2⃣ To save time and effort: No code. No maintenance. No cost. Testing shouldn’t be a burden. It should just work. Hercules is our way of giving back to the community that’s taught us so much. We’d love for you to try it out and tell us what you think! P.S. - We've made it work on herculean platforms like Salesforce too. Our repo: https://github.com/test-zeus-ai/testzeus-hercules/tree/main And for questions/suggestions, here's our Slack community: https://join.slack.com/t/testzeuscommun

Show HN: Hercules – Open-Source software testing agent

Hey HN, After spending way too many late nights wrestling with brittle test scripts and UIs that seem to change just to spite me, we decided to do something about it. So we built Hercules, an open-source testing agent aiming to make end-to-end testing of modern web applications less of a Herculean task (pun absolutely intended). P.S.- Paid solutions can cost upwords of $15000 and still struggle with maintenance. What is Hercules? Hercules is an AI-powered testing agent that turns simple Gherkin steps into fully automated end-to-end tests, eliminating the need for coding skills. It leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to reason and perform actions based on test requirements. Key Features- - Gherkin In, Results Out: Just provide your tests in Gherkin format, and Hercules executes them automatically, outputting results in JUnit XML and HTM

L reports. - Free and Open Source: Hercules is released under the AGPL v3 license, allowing anyone to use, modify, and contribute. - Salesforce Ready: Capable of handling intricate UIs, Hercules excels in testing platforms like Salesforce. - No Code Required: Automates Gherkin features without the need for scripting or dealing with selectors. - Multilingual Support: Supports multiple languages out of the box, facilitating global collaboration. - Precisely Accurate: Records execution videos and captures network logs for reliable test results. - No Maintenance: Features auto-healing capabilities to adapt to changes without manual intervention. - CI/CD Ready: Easily integrates into your CI/CD pipeline and can run in Docker containers. Why is Hercules Different? Unlike traditional testing tools, Hercules acts as an intelligent agent that can think, reason, and adapt. It's built on a multi-agent architecture, allowing it to plan and execute tasks based on the provided Gherkin steps. Additionally, it comes packed with tool usage like Browsers, or APIs; and users can build/attach external tools too. Try It Out The source code and detailed documentation are available on GitHub: [https://github.com/test-zeus-ai/testzeus-hercules](https://g... To get started: - Install via PyPI: ```bash pip install testzeus-hercules playwright install --with-deps ``` - Or use the Docker image: ```bash docker pull testzeus/hercules:latest ``` We've included sample feature files and a quick-start guide in the README to help you get up and running quickly. Feedback Welcome- We'd love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or even horror stories about testing gone wrong.
