Record test cases and bug reports with annotated screenshots.

Test Buddy is a free Chrome extension that puts 9 essential QA testing tools directly into your browser's side panel — no switching tabs, no installations, no sign-up required. Whether you're a QA engineer, developer, or tester, Test Buddy helps you work faster by keeping everything you need in one place while you test any web application. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ WHAT'S INSIDE — 9 QA TOOLS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 TEST CASE RECORDER Record structured test cases automatically as you interact with any web page. Every click, input and navigation is captured as a professional test step with action, test data and expected result. Export your test cases to PDF, Excel or Word in one click. Drag and drop to reorder steps, bulk select and delete, add manual steps — full control over every test case you create. 🐛 BUG REPORTER Report bugs professionally without leaving your browser. Fill in the title, description, severity and environment — environment details like browser, OS and screen size are detected automatically. Capture a full- page screenshot or select a specific area, annotate it with arrows and boxes, or record a GIF showing the exact reproduction steps. Download everything as a ZIP bundle containing the bug report and screenshot ready to share with your team. 🔗 BROKEN LINK SCANNER Automatically scans every link and image on the current page for broken URLs, 404 errors and failed resources. Results are grouped by status code so you can quickly identify and report issues. 🧪 REST API TESTER A built-in HTTP client that lets you send GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE requests without leaving the page. View response body with syntax highlighting, inspect response headers, check status codes and response times. The Assertions tab automatically generates Postman-compatible pm.test() assertions from the actual response — ready to copy and paste. 📝 SPELL CHECKER Scans the visible text on any web page for spelling and grammar errors using the LanguageTool API. Errors are highlighted directly on the page with colour-coded markers. Filter results by error type — spelling, grammar or style. ⭐ TEST DATA GENERATOR Analyses the current page's forms and fills them with realistic, contextually appropriate fake data powered by Faker.js — running entirely in your browser with no data sent to any server. Supports text fields, emails, passwords, phone numbers, dates, dropdowns and more. 📊 PERFORMANCE ANALYSER Measures Core Web Vitals and key performance metrics for the current page including LCP, FID, CLS, TTFB, page load time, DOM content loaded and total page size. Quickly identify performance bottlenecks without opening DevTools. 📦 JSON VIEWER Paste any JSON string to format, validate and explore it with collapsible tree view. Minify for compact output or beautify for readability. Instantly spot syntax errors with clear error messages. 📏 PIXEL RULER Measure distances and element dimensions directly on any web page. Crosshair guides show the exact X/Y coordinates as you hover. Click and drag to measure any distance in pixels — useful for checking spacing, alignment and responsive layouts. ® REGEX TESTER Test regular expressions live against any input string. Matches are highlighted in real time as you type. Includes 10 quick-access common patterns for email, URL, phone number, date and more. 📱 RESPONSIVE TESTER Preview any web page at 14 common device resolutions including iPhone, iPad, Galaxy, MacBook, desktop and more — all without leaving the page. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✓ Zero setup — install and start testing immediately ✓ No account or sign-up required ✓ Works on any http or https website ✓ Light and dark theme with automatic preference detection ✓ All tools available in a persistent side panel ✓ Data stays in your browser — nothing uploaded to any server* ✓ Lightweight — does not slow down your browsing *Spell Check uses the LanguageTool public API (text only, no page data) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ WHO IS IT FOR? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ → QA Engineers who need a fast, all-in-one testing companion → Developers who want to test their web apps without context switching → Freelancers who need to deliver professional test documentation → Teams who want consistent, well-formatted bug reports → Anyone who tests web applications regularly ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ EXPORT FORMATS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Test Cases: PDF · Excel (.xlsx) · Word (.docx) Bug Reports: ZIP (Word document + Screenshot/GIF) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Test Buddy is built with privacy in mind.
