Ask HN: What testing tools do you use?
Firefox's PixelPerfect for Manual Visual Testing. There are some great tools for grunt to do automated visual testing[0] — and CSS unit tests are viable strategies[1].
Jasmine specs in Karma/Protractor for overall functional testing: of code/calls/functional groups, of functional flows, and of behavior specifications: so, Unit Testing, E2E testing, Behavior Testing (BDD). Search for headless versions of the browsers you're interested in, and integrate into grunt — but here's a Stack thread on mobile: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/464089/simulators-emulato...
There's a great tool in Firefox to record actions in Selenium, though WebDriver probably isn't adequate for tech like AngularJS templates or even Semantic HTML (which is a moving target, since W3C Standards enable richly complex "pears"[2]).
Semantics[3]; use Fangs-to-Audio[4] to get a "subjective" feel for how your copy sounds to people on screen-readers/assistive tech/devices. Use http://wave.webaim.org/.
Follow schema.org as a normative guide to what Search Engines will likely look for. You can probably automate diffs between semantic markup structures and Web Scrape schema.org to determine how "meaningful" your markup is overall.
As always, believe in Unicorns[5].

In terms of Performance Testing, most of the tools out there are either expensive or awful. However a couple of weeks ago, HP released a community edition of its flagship LoadRunner 12. It's basically the full LoadRunner product for up to 50 concurrent users (plenty for most startups).
mainly using http://casperjs.org/ to do all my high level testing.
as to services, recently started moving to https://www.codeship.io/ for continuous integration testing. though I love it it doesn't 100% cut it for me though as I have some dependencies on Windows, unfortunately.
