Introducing AutoReg: Testing Your App Shouldn’t Be This Hard
Today we're introducing AutoReg — a free desktop app that tests your web app for you. You describe what your app does in plain English, and an AI agent turns that into browser tests that run themselves and fix themselves when they break.
The problem
Building software has never been faster. With AI, anyone can ship a working app in a weekend. But there's a catch nobody talks about: every change you make can quietly break something that worked yesterday. That's called a regression, and it's how most bugs reach your users.
The traditional answer is to write automated tests. In practice, that means learning a test framework, hand-writing scripts, and hunting down selectors for every button and field in your app. Then the hard part starts: every time your UI changes, those tests break — not because your app is broken, but because the test is pointing at something that moved. Teams end up spending more time repairing tests than finding real bugs. Many give up and go back to clicking through the app by hand before every release. Or worse, they skip testing entirely and let users find the bugs.
What AutoReg does
AutoReg removes the hard parts. Here's the whole workflow:
- Write what your app does in plain English. One file, called
autoreg.md. Something like: “Test the sign-in page for valid credentials, invalid passwords, and empty field validation.” That's it — no code. - The AI agent explores your real app. It opens your app in an actual browser, looks at the real pages, and generates tests from what's actually there — not from guesses.
- Run everything with one click. Individual tests or the full suite, with live progress and an HTML report with screenshots at the end.
- Broken tests fix themselves. When your UI changes and a test breaks, AutoReg figures out why, looks at the page again, and repairs the test automatically. We call this autoheal — and it's the part that kills the maintenance treadmill.
Who it's for
If you're a QA lead, AutoReg turns a test plan into a running suite in hours instead of sprints. If you're an engineering manager, it gives your team a quality gate that doesn't slow anyone down. And if you're a solo builder who vibe coded an app last weekend — this is your QA team. You built it fast; AutoReg makes sure it stays working.
Try it
AutoReg is free to download for macOS and Windows. No account required. Your tests live in your repo as readable JSON files, so nothing is locked away.
