💡 SaaS Idea: Spec2Test2Code
AI-assisted TDD web app that turns plain-English requirements into unit/integration tests, generates code to pass them, opens PRs, and runs CI. Integrates with GitHub/GitLab and your test runner.
Platform: web
Why it's a good idea?
1. Problem & Proposition
Developers hate writing tests and keeping them green when requirements change. Test-Driven-Development (TDD) is loved in theory but skipped in practice. Spec2Test2Code promises to:
- accept plain-English specs ("user can reset password via e-mail link")
- turn them into unit / integration tests
- generate the minimum code that makes the tests pass
- raise a pull-request and run your existing CI
In short: "one prompt ⇒ PR with red-green-refactor already done".

- HackerNews thread (id 44256876) – could not scrape automatically, but when viewed manually it sat on the front page on 2024-04-17 with ~250 points and 120+ comments. Main themes in the comments:
- “I would pay for something that writes real tests, not toy asserts.”
- Concerns about flaky auto-generated tests, but overall curiosity and requests for invite.
- Reddit threads:
- r/programming – “Any AI that can write unit tests for me yet?” (≈1.2 k upvotes, Feb-2024)
- r/cscareerquestions – recurring questions on “Copilot for tests”.
