Intelligent Test Robot to Exterminate Internet Bugs

(EPFL, June 03, 2013)

Bugs on websites are annoying for users and and can bring extensive financial consequences for large companies. Testing websites still poses problems to web developers because existing tools are incomplete and full of loopholes.The EPFL startup BugBuster has invented the first intelligent tool that finds out on its own how to interact with an application whose code it tests according to various possible scenarios. It automatically notifies the developers about the problems it found as screen captures. With this functionality, the tool is able to test almost every function on a website, saving web designers a lot of time - and it's easy as the push of a button: Simply enter the URL onto the company’s website and press “start.”
