(A flow we test for the YC Tech Team)\n\nAn example test for YC’s Application Portal to Invite Co-Founders\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=83237\u0026key=user_uploads/700570/14e90a74-1b37-42e0-b36b-f6cc3b5d31aa)\n\n\u003chttps://www.loom.com/share/bbab011b36904f4ea6d97a85225c7c30?sid=2023cab4-e476-4574-9ad3-f5daf34d4d89\u003e\n\n# **⛔️ The Problem (Do we even need to get into this?)**\n\nA. Testing is TIME-CONSUMING and PAINFUL. 🤕\n\n* whether you write a test\n* or manually check (or maybe not check) your core flows every single time you merge to production\n\nB. Tests are not MAINTAINABLE; they break! 🛠️\n\n* Your UI is constantly changing, and maintaining test scripts is a tedious task.\n\n## **✨ The Solution**\n\nOn Spur, you can:\n\n* Write automated tests in minutes (_not hours_) with natural language 💨💨\n* Not worry about maintaining tests when your UI changes 💅\n\n  _We use multimodal agents that interact with your web pages exactly like users would. Tests are not bound to CSS selectors_\n\n## **🧡 The Team behind Spur**\n\n[Anushka](https://linkedin.com/in/anushka-nijhawan-8380361b1) and I met our freshman year at Yale. We did research at the Yale NLP Lab on web agents. [Sneha](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sivakumarsneha/) (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.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=83237\u0026key=user_uploads/700570/6ceb23f3-b013-4f80-a2f0-04e4c1539ba3)\n\n## **🤝 Our Ask**\n\n### **If this problem is one that you face, try us out!**\n\n* Book a [demo](https://calendly.com/sneha-sivakumar-1/30min)\n* [Sign up!](https://tally.so/r/n9WR4Q) We are live and actively onboarding customers every single day\n\nOur 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 :)\n\n\u003e 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.\n\u003e\n\u003e _\\- Eve Bouffard, Product Engineer @ YC Tech Team_\n\n\u003e I’m gonna see if I can expense Spur through my wellness stipend. Category: Therapy\\\n\u003e \\- Gabe Wilson, Founder \u0026 CTO @ Terrakotta\n\n\u003e 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. \\\n\u003e \\- Joseph Parker, Founder \u0026 CTO @ VecFlow\n\n\u003e We’ve been using Spur and it’s been AMAZING — unlike all the competitors that we’ve tried, they actually work!
