シーズン4 · 10月16日開始 · $3,000 + CLIボーナス $1,000

1週間。1つのループ。
すべてのPRで。

7日間で、TestSpriteをリポジトリに接続して、すべてのプルリクエストが自動でテストされる状態にします。GitHub AppでもGitHub Actionsでも構いません。接続した仕組みはそのまま残り、ハッカソンが終わったあともリポジトリは自分自身をテストし続けます。

A pull request where the TestSprite check fails, the fix is pushed, and the check passes

Two ways to win

Project Awards

Oct 16–22
$3,000 · 5 winners

Best projects with TestSprite wired into the repo, so every pull request gets tested. Scored out of 100 by human judges.

1st Place $1,500 Grand Champion · 2nd Place $750 Runner Up · 3rd Place $450 Third Place · 4th Place $150 Honorable Mention · 5th Place $150 Honorable Mention

CLI Improvement Bonus

Oct 16–29
$1,000 · allocated after close

Find something wrong with the open-source CLI and fix it. Open an issue, then open a PR that closes it. Entirely on GitHub, no forms.

$50+ per merged PR, scaled to substance — a $50 floor, more for work that carries more weight, up to three eligible PRs per person · Merged and judged a genuine improvement are two separate bars · One allocation after the window closes, the $1,000 shared out in a single pass

// Start in 5 minutes

Sign up. Wire it.
Forget it.

One account, one live URL, one connection to GitHub — then every pull request gets tested without anyone starting it. Existing projects welcome, no need to start from zero.

  1. 01 // Account

    Create an account

    Free to start. Use the same email you'll submit with. Sign up free →

  2. 02 // Target

    Your live URL

    A deployed app anyone can open. Localhost doesn't count.

  3. 03 // Suite

    Generate the tests

    Agents explore the app and write the suite in the 3.0 portal. The PR check runs the tests you already have, so this comes first.

  4. 04 // Wire it up

    Connect GitHub

    GitHub App or GitHub Actions, either counts. From then on every PR gets tested on its own.

Either route counts
Route A · no repo changes

GitHub App

Install from Settings → GitHub App in the dashboard, pick your repos, done. Nothing is added to your repository. Results come back as a comment on the PR, and three per-repo switches decide the rest: Run on Pull Requests, Include Draft PRs, and Blocking PRs, which turns the result into a status check that holds the merge.

GitHub App docs ↗
Route B · lives in the repo

GitHub Actions

Add TestSprite/testsprite-action@v1 to a workflow with your API key as a repository secret. The job goes red on a failure, writes a JUnit report, and — by default — fails when tests are skipped, so a partial run is never green.

Fork PRs don't get repository secrets, so the sample workflow skips forks. Build in your own repo and you'll never hit it.

Action repo ↗
// 提出方法

何を どこに 出すか。

Your proof is a pull request.

Wire TestSprite to your repo, then open a PR. The check runs, TestSprite reports back on the PR, and that thread is the submission. Judges open the link and read the whole story off the PR, then check the suite itself in the portal.

Aim for a PR where the checks pass. A run that caught something first and went green after your fix is the best version of this, and it shows the loop actually works.

Two steps to submit — do both before the deadline

01 // In your GitHub repo

Your source, a README with the app and live URL, and at least one PR carrying a TestSprite check. Actions route adds a workflow file; App route adds nothing.

02 // Post in Discord#hackathon-submissions

Your PR link, live URL, and TestSprite account. Demo video optional.

// Guest Judges · Creator Picks

Creator Panel

Five creators are joining Season 4 as guest judges and community supporters. They’ll review the projects and each select a standout project to recognize as their Creator Pick, along with a short quote about what impressed them.

  • Ömer Göçmen
  • Uğur Keşkekçi
  • Astro K Joseph
  • Poyraz
  • Jan Marshal

Creator Picks are separate from the official competition scoring. Prize winners are determined by our judging panel using the official rubric, and Creator Picks do not affect the prize pool.

// CLI Improvement Bonus · $1,000 pool · all 14 days · open to everyone

Build it with us.

The whole workflow lives on GitHub. Open an issue, claim it, open a PR that closes it. Entries follow the same rules as any other contribution to the repo, so nothing about this is a special path. Tick one box in the PR template and you're in.

$npm i -g @testsprite/testsprite-cli
  1. 01 · Open an issue

    Say what is broken

    Describe the problem and assign the issue to yourself, so everyone can see what's already being worked on. PRs titled docs: skip this step.

    Up to three open claimed issues at a time. A claim with no activity gets a warning at 48 hours and is released at 72, so nobody sits on work they aren't doing.

  2. 02 · Open a PR

    Fix it and tick the box

    Your PR body needs Closes #123 pointing at your issue, the entry checkbox ticked, and your Discord username so we can reach you. Not on Discord? We'll reach you on the PR.

    A bot confirms your entry in a comment. If it looks like an entry but the box is unticked, it asks rather than excludes you. Up to three bonus-eligible PRs per person; contribute as much as you like beyond that.

// The Bars

Two bars to clear

A PR has to be merged and judged a genuine improvement. Those are separate bars, so a PR can land and still earn nothing.

  • Fair play
    Losing a duplicate race costs nothing: the first to file keeps that credit and the author of the merged PR keeps theirs. A deadline for allocation is not a quality mark, so a fix that lands just after the window still counts as the work it is. Maintainer-side incidents never count against you.
  • What does not qualify
    These get merged or closed on their own merits, they just don't earn a payout. The list is illustrative, not exhaustive. Bounty farming ends your eligibility for the season.
    • No problem statement
    • Reformatting, whitespace, typo-level edits
    • Behavior change with no tests
    • Comment-only or no-context edits
    • Unexplained dependency bumps
    • One change split across several PRs
    • Spam or bounty farming

    Full CLI rules go live a week before Day 1, so there's time to read the codebase and find something real before the window opens.

// The Aspects

Four aspects

Each eligible PR is then read against four aspects, with a "meet" and an "exceed" for each. Up to two revision rounds on substance.

  • Impact
    What does it do for a real user? Meet: fixes a reproducible bug or adds a capability people asked for. Exceed: closes a class of bug, ships a product-clarity feature, or sets a policy the repo then follows.
  • Problem definition
    Is the problem real? Meet: the problem is real and someone else could reproduce it from what you wrote. Exceed: a problem we didn't know we had, or one that reaches further than the fix.
  • Craft
    Does it merge clean? Meet: tests included, CI green on every platform, diff matches the title. Exceed: right on the first review round with no collateral.
  • Discipline
    Does it help others land theirs? Meet: problem stated before code, one concern per PR, credit given to whoever reported it. Exceed: reshapes fast on a maintainer's redirect, or files work another contributor picks up and ships.
// Feedback · Open all season · every surface

What Would You Change?

Your feedback shapes what we build next. A week of real builds on codebases we've never seen will surface things we've missed. If something in the 3.0 web portal, the CLI, or the MCP server got in your way, confused you, or you can see a better way to do it, tell us. Specific beats polite: what you tried, what happened, what you expected instead.

Share feedback in Discord
  • Web Portal

    Test generation that missed the point, verdicts that were hard to read, anything you had to work around in 3.0.

  • CLI

    Flags, output, docs, install. If it's a bug with a fix, open the issue and PR instead, and it can count toward the bonus.

  • MCP Server

    Still supported. If a tool description misled your agent or a call failed silently, tell us — the portal and the CLI come first this season.

Credits for the good stuff. Feedback that changes what we build may earn extra TestSprite credits as a thank-you. It's not a guarantee and it isn't scored, it's how we'd like to say thanks for helping make the product better.
