**⛔️ The Problem (Do we even need to get into this?)**
------------------------------------------------------

A. Testing is TIME-CONSUMING and PAINFUL. 🤕

*   whether you write a test
*   or manually check (or maybe not check) your core flows every single time you merge to production

B. Tests are not MAINTAINABLE; they break! 🛠️

*   Your UI is constantly changing, and maintaining test scripts is a tedious task.

**✨ The Solution**
------------------

On Spur, you can:

*   Write automated tests in minutes (_not hours_) with natural language 💨💨
    
*   Not worry about maintaining tests when your UI changes 💅
    
    _We use multimodal agents that interact with your web pages exactly like users would. Tests are not bound to CSS selectors_
    

**🧡 The Team behind Spur**
---------------------------

[Anushka]( and I met our freshman year at Yale. We did research at the Yale NLP Lab on web agents. [Sneha]( (here!) previously worked on growth at Figma, and Anushka at DeepMind. We’ve hacked on our fair share of projects before — and have very much felt the pain of neglecting testing.

Our customers have found a **lot** of value from using us so far, and we’d love to take testing off your plate. Here is what some of them have said :)

> Spur is shockingly easy to use—no coding, just plain English. Simply describe what you want to test, and Spur handles the rest. Onboarding was a breeze, and Anushka and Sneha are fantastic to work with.

> \- Gabe Wilson, Founder & CTO @ Terrakotta

> We had a HUGE UI revamp and are still able to test easily without needing maintenance, not a single test has broken due to flakiness. They mean it when they say their tests are reliable.   
> \- Joseph Parker, Founder & CTO @ VecFlow

> We’ve been using Spur and it’s been AMAZING — unlike all the competitors that we’ve tried, they actually work! Can highly recommend.
