About Feuji Innovation Hackathon

The Feuji Innovation Hackathon 2026, in collaboration with T-Hub,invites students, working professionals, tech enthusiasts, and startups to create the next generation of Autonomous Quality Assurance (QA) tools. The focus is to develop an intelligent engine that can autonomously analyze, test, and enhance web applications using AI. 

Join us to transform ideas into intelligent solutions and shape the future of AI-powered applications!

Problem Statement

Feuji’s ReQon; an advanced AI-powered autonomous testing platform currently supports recording and replaying user flows. However, it still requires human setup and supervision. To evolve into a truly autonomous testing system, ReQon must be enhanced to:
  • Understand the structure and navigation flow of any website.
  • Independently detect functional, UI, performance, and accessibility issues.
  • Identify and classify hygiene issues (content, layout, navigation, SEO, accessibility).
  • Execute AI-driven testing cycles, including handling authentication and authorization (OAuth2, SSO, tokens).

The mission: Build a unified AI engine that can crawl, analyze, detect, and classify defects – essentially a self-driven QA inspector. 

Objective

Develop a Bug & Hygience Discovery Engine that autonomously:

  • Crawls any web application URL and identifies page types (e.g., dashboard, list, form, wizard, report).
  • Detects and classifies visual and functional issues using DOM structure, Playwright logs, and browser telemetry.
  • Generates a structured Defect Knowledge Graph linking pages → elements → issue types → severity.
  • Produces a Hygiene Score for each page based on defect density and issue mix.

Adaptive Learning

Autonomous Discovery

Build a crawler capable of navigating complex websites; handling logins, pagination, and multi-step workflows - while recognizing page types based on control composition.

Bug Detection

Capture and analyze issues such as broken links, failed form validations, console errors, layout overlaps, or performance bottlenecks.

Hygiene Classification

Create AI models or rules to categorize defects into Functional, UI, Performance, Accessibility, Content, or Security.

Defect Scoring

Design an algorithm that prioritizes issues by severity, frequency, reproducibility, and impact.

Visualization

Develop an interactive dashboard that visualizes page relationships, defect clusters, and overall system health.
