Launch HN: Codeparrot (YC W23) – Automated API testing using production traffic
Hi HN, we’re Royal and Vedant, co-founders of CodeParrot ( https://www.codeparrot.ai/ ). CodeParrot automates API testing so developers can speed up release cycles and increase test coverage. It captures production traffic and database state to generate test cases that update with every release. Here’s a short video that shows how it works: https://www.loom.com/share/dd6c12e23ceb43f587814a2fbc165c1f . As managers of engineering teams (I was CTO of an ed-tech startup, Vedant was the founding engineer of a unicorn company) both of us faced challenges in enforcing high test coverage. We ended up relying a lot on manual testing but it became hard to scale, and led to reduced velocity and higher production bugs. This motivated us to build CodeParrot. How it works: we auto-instrument backend services to capture production traffic. Requests and responses comin
