A very random coincidence. While posting this product hunt post, for a very short few minutes between 12:05 PT to 12:10 PT, the product hunt site was down while i was submitting - which required me to do a resubmit - this was quickly captured in quick test snippet i did up here, haha : https://snippet.uilicious.com/te... ( Snippet is our free version, that we previously launched - think of it as the difference between codepen and visual studio ). Its cute how the 500 error pages (or any other error page it seems) is pet photos. Because the downtime window was really a short <5 minutes, so it could just be a routine server maintenance or restart. Nothing too serious.

hey @picocreator yup! you captured it correctly. Our system was being updated. Though we didn't expect the site to go down, it did show 500 error for some minutes. Glad our engineers to bring it back to live so quick. Congratulations on the launch, and happy that the unexpected error could give you an opportunity to show your product's use case! Love it :)

@adityavsc Ahh glad to know your engineers had it covered =) If your team needs notification of such errors, they could always setup a test and schedule a recurring test job 😉
Aditya
?makers Thanks for sharing the product! Would love to know what are the major updates since the last launch?

@adityavsc Since our last product hunt update, we've rolled out major features mainly to help QAs work more effectively and scale up their test coverage and also to help product teams to communicate about issues more effectively: 1. Test Suites - Now you can schedule a suite of tests and view an aggregated report of pass / fails across browsers for the suite of tests. From the test suite reports you can drill down to see which particular tests failed and inspect the individual reports further. 2. Datasets and ability to read test data from CSV / JSON - This lets you dynamically inject your test data. Some teams have gotten really creative, using our command line interface to upload their test data in a CSV file, e.g. new product or promo codes information, to test new products and promo codes without having to write a specific test for a specific product or promo code. 3. Visual Regression testing with Applitools - If you want to do visual regression testing, and check for text, colors, or layouts change, you can simply hook up any existing UI-licious tests to Applitools. There's been a lot new test commands to support advanced test scenarios, and many many performance improvements under the hood. You can find our full release notes here: https://docs.uilicious.com/relea...

@adityavsc I would also add that the previous launch on product hunt for "Uilicious Snippet" : https://www.producthunt.com/post... focuses on being able to quickly write short and limited test scripts, for free on our platform. With the additional features highlighted by my co-founder being on the paid plan. Think of it as the difference between coding in a quick CodePen, versus Visual Studio =)

@picocreator super useful :)

Hello everyone! I am Shi Ling, co-founder and CEO of UI-licious~ My co-founder and I made UI-licious way back in 2016. Back then it was just a prototype that we demonstrated during a lightning talk at JSConf.Asia. A lot of people came up to us to share that they really loved the product and wanted to pilot our prototype in their company. Since then we've been helping many businesses around the world test their UI and make sure they deliver the perfect user journeys to their end users. Our philosophy is "Test user user journeys, not HTML". We really wanted to create a testing tool that is accessible to anyone in the product delivery team, even if you don't know how to code. That's because I realized that in most teams, it's usually not the developers who are doing most of the testing, but instead it's usually non-technical team members, like the project manager, the marketing team, or even the end-users! Some teams might have the good fortune to have dedicated QAs, but most small businesses don't have the luxury to hire a full-time tester. That's why we're launching the Personal Plan today at $12 a month to help freelancers and solopreneurs automate testing for their web applications, so you can save time and focus on creating more value for your business. With the Personal Plan you can: - Automate tests with an easy-to-learn language, even if you don't know how to code. - Monitor your product by scheduling recurring tests and setting up alerts - Quickly identify bugs with detailed test reports You can visit our website to try UI-licious for free for 7 days: https://uilicious.com We also have a special offer for Product Hunters. Use the promo code "PIECEOFCAKE" to get one month free on the Personal Plan. This promotion lasts until the end of November 2021. I hope you will enjoy using UI-licious, and make your UI very delicious for your users! Please let us know what you think about UI-licious in the comments!

Just saw this and the concept is really interesting :D Just wondering what's the difference between UIlicious and Uptime robot??
Eugene Cheah

@datsick77 thanks for asking, Uilicious is focused on UI functional testing (does the button click work, does the login show the correct message). Uptime robot is focused more on well, network uptime (does the page load). So it is possible for a Uilicious Test to notify you of an error if there is a login UI bug, while uptime robot pass because the site is technically still up and loading. Leaving your site potentially "down" for hours if it happens in the end of the workday. While UI testing tools benefit by being able to do more complex and comprehensive test. The benefit of uptimerobot being a much simpler check, is that it can be performed quickly (every few seconds) notifying you of network issues faster, while UI tests being much longer and slower in nature are typically executed between once a day, to once an hour. Both tools help monitor and notify for their respective type of issue. In fact we use uptimerobot itself to help monitor if our network is running (or not) Hope that clarifies :D
