Squidler

Squidler is designed to automate website testing, specifically for functional bugs, accessibility problems and language problems without requiring any manual work. It tests your website every day, autonomously browsing and interacting with it to find problems. If it finds any, the service offers step-by-step, visual reports of exactly what happened.

Squidler catches a range of user-facing problems, including crashes, dead ends, rendering problems, broken web conventions and more. For accessibility, it uses Axe-core to check against WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 accessibility guidelines to ensure websites are accessible to people with disabilities. For language, it uses LanguageTool to check for style, spelling and grammar problems on website content, supporting multiple languages.

The tool has a simple setup process, and you can get reports by email or integrate them with Slack. Squidler costs €49 per month for testing one site with one test per day. The Professional plan tests up to five sites with two tests per day for €149 per month, and the Enterprise plan tests up to 25 sites with six tests per day for €699 per month.

Squidler is designed to make website testing easy and automated, a useful option for businesses trying to keep their online presence in top shape. Its automated approach means problems are spotted quickly, so developers can concentrate on fixing problems instead of writing tests to catch them and maintaining those tests.
