Bugster
By Bugster Inc.. Category: Agentic end-to-end testing. Homepage
Bugster's documentation describes Bugster as an AI tester that simulates a user in a real browser to test web applications. Tests are generated automatically from Next.js and React routes or from a natural-language prompt, and are saved as YAML specifications with natural-language steps. The Bugster runner executes these specifications in the vendor's cloud. The docs cover a GitHub Action and a GitHub App for CI. A separate command updates tests from git changes. A Claude Code plugin and rules for Cursor are also documented.
