Post your startup and I'll test it for you

We just launched the free tier for Reflect yesterday, so I figured I'd make an offer to the IH community. (Reflect is a test automation product that lets you create regression tests for your webapp without writing any code.) I'll create one automated test for your startup using our product. This could be a test of anything you'd like, such as:

  • A test that checks your login flow
  • A test that verifies new users can register on your site or sign-up for your newsletter
  • A test that checks the visual state of your homepage (we support visual testing!)
  • A test that verifies your shopping cart flow.

...Or anything else you can think up! I'll set up your test to run once per day, so going forward it'll email you if it detects any failures.

If you're interested, add a comment here with a link to your startup and a short description of what you want tested. Also make sure you sign up for a Reflect account (it's free - no CC required) before you add a comment so that I have somewhere to put the test.

    Signed up! I'd appreciate feedback on the job posting. If you create an account, we give you a free post so you could use that. Thank you!

      Thanks John, your test is all set up!

      Due to the current pandemic there are going to be many developers experiencing remote work for the first time, so the idea of a remote-focused job board for developers seems extremely timely to me.

      A few pieces of random feedback:

      • I noticed your search functionality only allows searching by programming language. Given that constraint I think a list of radio buttons or a dropdown might be better, as I would have guessed that searching would match on job title, description, location, and company name as well.
      • You're promoting that the posted jobs include an equity component - it'd be great if each job posting in the list included the equity range, rather than requiring the user to click into each job posting individually to see it. Salary range would also be very helpful in the list view. Angelist might be a good example to draw inspiration from.
      • Similar to above, I think a way to sort on salary would be helpful. I have to admit that I've gone to job posting sites and immediately filtered on my city + remote and sorted by salary (highest to lowest). I'm guessing I'm not the only one. :)

      I also found a bug on the site - I'll email you separately about that.

        Thank you for the detailed post and for finding the bug!! It was extremely helpful and something I wouldn't have found without your service.

        I appreciate the comments and will continue improving the product.

      Hey @faraaz could you create a Reflect account and let me know your account name? Once I have that I'll set up a test for you!

          Your test is all set up!

      @Yoofi_Annan No problem. Shoot us an email at [email protected] when you sign up and we'll create your first test. Good luck with the launch!

      👍Can you create a Reflect account and let me know the account name so I know where to put the test?

      We can test hybrid mobile apps using frameworks like React Native, but the trick is that you need to deploy it to a publicly accessible URL. With React Native this is possible via the plugin react-native-web https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web. Once that's set up we can test your app!

        I see. Thanks for the heads up!

      Sure thing, could you sign up for a Reflect account at the link above so I know where to put the test? Thanks!

      Hi bomb2060,

      Can you set up a Reflect account via the sign-up link I posted? (it's free). Or if you already signed up, can you let me know the name of your Reflect account? Thanks!

    1. 1

      Thanks, @LeoNeo! We need you to create an account in Reflect (email only, no CC needed) so that we can create the test in your account. Once you do that, we'll create a test against your site and schedule it to run daily. You can create your Reflect account at https://reflect.run > Get Started.

    I tried signing up but I get a server error. if you want to test, my startup is at https://charactercreator.org/

    1. 2

      You're all set up! I think I found a minor bug on your site while creating the test - just sent you an email with details. :)

      1. 1

        Thanks, I'm ceating an issue for the bug, thanks!

    2. 1

      Hm - weird. The account looks good on our end (including server logs). We'll reach out to you directly to get more info and also share the test we've made for you.

      1. 2

        Ok glad it went through! I though it might have failed because a server error was displayed in red.

    Ooo I guess I'm disqualified?? :)

      Hi Primer,

      Thanks for the kind words! The scenario you bring up isn't uncommon. The way we handle it in Reflect is via what we call "substitution rules". When you record your test, you'd sign up with an email address called something like "[email protected]". When Reflect goes to run the test we'd substitute the "reflecttest" part with a random alphanumeric string so that we're not attempting to register with an account that was already registered as part of your initial recording.
