StepTrace – Test Step Recorder for QA

Record test steps as you click. Get readable steps or Playwright, Cypress and Gherkin code. Send to Tuskr, TestRail or Azure DevOps.

Click through your app — StepTrace writes the test case for you. StepTrace records every click, input and navigation as a clear, human-readable test step. Hand the steps to your team as they are, turn them into automation code, or send them straight to your test management tool. RECORD • Press Rec (or Alt+Shift+R) and use the page as usual — steps appear on a "tape" grouped by page, with timecodes • On-page HUD: timer, step count, Assert / Screenshot / Stop without opening the popup • Passwords and other sensitive fields are masked automatically • Duplicate actions are skipped; assertions ("text is visible", "value equals") with one click EDIT • Edit steps in place, add expected results, reorder with Alt+↑/↓ • Delete, clear and merge can be undone — no confirmation pop-ups • Dictionary: turn URLs and element IDs into names your team understands (per domain) • Optional AI polishing of step wording with your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, or Chrome built-in AI EXPORT • Live code preview: recorded steps become a ready Playwright, Cypress or Selenium script, or a Gherkin (BDD) scenario • Send test cases to Tuskr, TestRail and other test management tools, or download them as CSV • Copy as a numbered list to paste into a ticket or any document • Ctrl+K command palette for every action RUN • Run Tuskr test runs step by step right on the tested page (or in a separate window): pass, fail or any custom status, time tracked automatically • Element selector picker: CSS and XPath selectors with a uniqueness check, ready for your tests • API testing: paste a curl or raw HTTP request and send it Interface in 17 languages, including right-to-left Arabic and Hebrew. Keyboard accessible. Privacy: recorded steps, the dictionary and your API keys are stored locally in your browser. StepTrace has no servers and no analytics. Data leaves your browser only when you send it to a service you configured. Also try ScribeStone and Zplunge — my other QA-focused extensions.
