New tool hunts down minimal causes of browser bugs

A developer has built a tool that pinpoints the minimal combination of API data, timing and local state needed to reproduce bugs that only appear under very specific conditions. Such flaky, hard-to-reproduce failures are a common pain in software testing, and the tool is being shared with the open-source and web development community.
Why now: Hard-to-reproduce bugs are a persistent frustration for developers, and a tool that minimises their cause is genuinely useful.
