About comber

comber automates end-to-end quality assurance for web applications by simulating user interactions on preview deployments. It operates without requiring test scripts, instead exploring every reachable state of an application like a real user would. The tool runs in CI pipelines, executing on each preview deploy to identify broken clicks, server errors, failed requests, and accessibility issues before users encounter them. Findings are delivered with detailed repro steps, screenshots, and traces, enabling quick debugging. comber uses a DOM-first approach for efficiency, resorting to vision-based checks only when necessary, and provides deterministic replays for cost-effective validation. It supports both self-hosted CLI usage with a provided Anthropic or OpenAI key and a managed option where the service runs the crawl on its infrastructure.

Who is comber suited for?

comber is designed for development teams that deploy preview environments, particularly those using CI pipelines. It suits teams looking to catch UI regressions and hidden bugs without writing or maintaining test scripts.

How does comber work in CI pipelines?

comber integrates into CI workflows with a single command or repository connection. It runs on every preview deploy, performing a crawl to explore the application and report findings with detailed repro steps, screenshots, and traces.

Does comber require test scripts?

No, comber does not require test scripts. It automatically explores the application like a real user, clicking, typing, and navigating every reachable state without manual scripting.

What kind of issues does comber detect?

comber detects broken clicks, server errors, failed requests, and accessibility issues. It also identifies problems beyond just dead buttons, providing comprehensive coverage of potential regressions.

How can I get started with comber?

To get started, install the comber CLI and run a check on a preview URL. It can be used in CI with your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, or via a managed option where the service runs the crawl on its infrastructure.
