第 4 季 · 10 月 16 日开赛 · $3,000 + $1,000 CLI 奖励

一周，一个闭环。每个 PR。

用七天时间，通过 GitHub App 把 TestSprite 接入你的仓库，让每个 pull request 都自动接受测试。接好的东西归你所有：黑客松结束很久以后，你的仓库依然会自己测试自己。

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.

闭环

四个步骤。一个不断循环.

  1. 01

    写

    制造者

    你的 coding agent 交付代码。Claude Code、Codex、Antigravity，用什么都行。

  2. 02

    测试

    检查者

    你开一个 PR，检查就会自动运行，没人需要记着去跑。

  3. 03

    修复

    制造者

    agent 读取失败证据包，从 PR 上读取并修复根因。

  4. 04

    再测试

    检查者

    推送修复。检查会自己重跑，PR 变绿。

需要记着去跑的闭环，迟早会停下来。

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

    Install the GitHub App on your repo. From then on every PR gets tested on its own.

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

如何提交

什么交到 哪里。

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.

参赛要求

检查清单。

Three things you hand in, two that have to be true for them to work.

  • 账号

    必需

    一个免费的 TestSprite 账号。请使用你提交时用的同一个邮箱，方便评委找到你的测试套件。

  • 公开仓库

    必需

    源码放在公开仓库里，README 写清楚应用、线上 URL 和测试套件覆盖了什么。提交历史证明这个应用是你做的。

  • 一个 PR

    必需

    仓库已通过 GitHub App 接入，并且至少有一个带 TestSprite 评论或状态检查的 pull request。测试最好是通过的。

  • 公开 URL

    Prerequisite

    测试在你的线上应用上运行，不支持 localhost。尽早部署，整个开发期间保持在线，否则检查无处可测。

  • 测试套件

    Prerequisite

    在 TestSprite 3.0 门户中针对你的线上应用生成。PR 检查运行的就是这套测试，所以它得先存在，一个变绿的 PR 就是证明。

  • 演示视频

    可选

    鼓励提交。在 Discord 里附上链接，评委真的会看。

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 install -g @testsprite/testsprite-cli
View the repo on GitHubRead the CLI rules →
  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?Meetfixes a reproducible bug or adds a capability people asked for.Exceedcloses a class of bug, ships a product-clarity feature, or sets a policy the repo then follows.
  • Problem definition
    Is the problem real?Meetthe problem is real and someone else could reproduce it from what you wrote.Exceeda problem we didn't know we had, or one that reaches further than the fix.
  • Craft
    Does it merge clean?Meettests included, CI green on every platform, diff matches the title.Exceedright on the first review round with no collateral.
  • Discipline
    Does it help others land theirs?Meetproblem stated before code, one concern per PR, credit given to whoever reported it.Exceedreshapes 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.
