Ignite Test Pilot

Records user interactions and generates Cypress test code.

What is Ignite Test Pilot? Ignite Test Pilot is a powerful, intuitive tool designed for QA professionals, developers, and teams looking to streamline test creation and web automation. Built with a sleek, native Side Panel interface, it allows you to record interactions on any website without losing visual context. Stop wasting hours writing repetitive scripts from scratch. Ignite Test Pilot records your actions in real-time — including clicks, form inputs, and navigation — and instantly turns them into native, ready-to-run Cypress specs (.cy.js) or reproducible visual macros, supercharging your testing workflow. 🚀 Key Features & What's New in v1.1.0: ⚡ Native Cypress Spec Export (.cy.js): Directly export clean, production-ready JavaScript test specs (describe('Recorded Test'...)) with precise cy.get(), cy.xpath(), and cy.visit() commands that run immediately in your Cypress runner. 🔄 Smart Script Re-loading (Bi-directional): Re-upload or drag your saved .cy.js or .json files back into the side panel at any time! The extension intelligently extracts embedded metadata to restore your visual workflow so you can continue recording or replay existing tests. 🎯 Instant Selector Toggle (CSS/ID vs. XPath): Switch between CSS / ID and XPath selector modes on the fly directly from the side panel header. Tailor your generated selectors to match your exact testing standards. 🤖 Advanced Human-Like Click & Event Simulation: Powered by our enhanced simulateRealClick engine, the recorder intelligently normalizes clicks on complex UI elements (like buttons with SVG icons or spans) and replays complete human pointer/mouse event chains (pointerdown -> mousedown -> focus -> click) with automatic screen centering (scrollIntoView) — ensuring 100% compatibility with modern reactive SPAs (React, Vue, Angular, Next.js). 🖥️ Integrated Side Panel UI: The interface docks perfectly to the side of your browser, letting you control the recording (Start, Stop, and Run Macro) without obstructing your view of the active webpage. 🔒 Secure License & Device Management: Built-in token authentication and device validation keep your enterprise workflows secure and organized across teams. 🪶 Zero Performance Impact: Running smoothly in the background via modern Chrome Content Scripts without slowing down or mutating the page under test. 🛠 How it Works: Open the Ignite Test Pilot side panel by clicking the extension icon. Choose your preferred Selector Type (CSS / ID or XPath). Click "Record" and navigate the webpage naturally. The extension logs your clicks and form inputs in real-time. Click "Stop" when you finish capturing your flow. Click "Run Macro" to watch the extension visually replay and validate your actions right on the screen. Click "Save JS (.cy.js)" to download your ready-to-use Cypress test file or "Export Spec" to copy code snippets instantly. 🎯 Who is this extension for? Quality Assurance (QA) Analysts & Engineers: To visually create robust, automated Cypress test cases in seconds and reliably document UI bugs. Front-end & Full-stack Developers: To quickly test complex UI flows across modern frameworks without writing boilerplate test scripts by hand. Automation Specialists: Who need to record, replay, and manage repeatable web workflows with high precision. Speed up your testing pipeline, eliminate boilerplate coding, and boost your team's productivity with Ignite Test Pilot!
