Show HN: Assay – a QA CLI that finds bugs with no LLM and no tests written
Verified Primary Feed Ingestion
⚡ Executive Takeaways & Intelligence Summary
I've always found it odd there was no deterministic QA tools with zero baseline needed, especially after so long. It's always been either (1) playwright or cypress that require written tests, dependant on the tests YOU write, or (2), asking the LLM to find and test bugs in your code, which has 2 cons, its costly (sometimes), and its non-deterministic. That's why i built assay. Its only dependencies is playwright & chromium, and you point it at any folder with a webpage and it runs tests on its own by driving the webpage itself in a browser and clicking every control. It then flags anywhere the webpage contradicted/disagreed with itself; it doesn't know right from wrong NOR what the webpage is about, but universally, a page disagreeing with itself is almost always a bug.
