Test Buddy

Record test cases and bug reports with annotated screenshots.

Test Buddy is a free Chrome extension that puts a test case recorder, a bug reporter and 9 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. A built-in user guide explains every feature step by step. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ RECORD & REPORT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 TEST CASE RECORDER Record structured test cases automatically as you interact with any web page. Clicks, typing, form submissions and navigation are captured as clear test steps with action and test data, and passwords are masked automatically. Add an expected result for each step, edit any step inline, drag and drop to reorder, bulk select and delete, or add manual steps. Tag each test case as Positive or Negative, Functional or UI, and by module. Export to PDF or Excel in one click. 🐛 BUG REPORTER Report bugs professionally without leaving your browser. Fill in the title, description and severity — the browser and operating system are detected automatically. Import steps to reproduce straight from your recorded test case. Capture the visible page or select a specific area, then annotate it with arrows, boxes, highlights and text. Or record a GIF of the bug happening. Retake or remove a screenshot or GIF at any time — a retake replaces the old one. Download everything as a single ZIP containing the formatted bug report, screenshot and GIF, ready to share with your team. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 9 TEST HELPER TOOLS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 BROKEN LINK SCANNER Scans every link and image on the current page for broken URLs and failed resources. Filter results by broken links, images, internal or external links, and report problems as a bug in one click. ⭐ TEST DATA GENERATOR Finds the form fields on the current page and fills them with realistic fake data — names, emails, phone numbers, addresses and more. Powered by Faker.js, running entirely in your browser with no data sent to any server. 📝 SPELL CHECKER Checks the text on any web page for spelling, grammar and style errors using the LanguageTool service. Issues are highlighted directly on the page, and you can filter results by type. 🧪 REST API TESTER A built-in HTTP client for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE and HEAD requests. Add params, headers and a JSON, form or text body. See the status code and response time, view the response body in pretty or raw format, and inspect headers. The Assertions tab generates ready-to-use test assertions from the actual response, ready to copy and paste. Error responses can be turned into a bug report in one click. 📊 PERFORMANCE ANALYSER Measures key performance metrics for the current page, including LCP, FCP, TTFB, DOM content loaded, page load time, total page size, slow resources and memory use — each with a clear rating. Spot bottlenecks without opening developer tools. 📦 JSON VIEWER Paste any JSON to format it with syntax highlighting, validate it or minify it. Syntax errors are reported clearly. 📏 PIXEL RULER Measure element sizes and distances directly on any web page. Hover to see an element's dimensions and click and drag to measure any distance in pixels — useful for checking spacing and alignment. ® REGEX TESTER Test regular expressions live against any text, with matches highlighted as you type. Includes 10 ready-made patterns for email, URL, phone number, date, strong password and more. 📱 RESPONSIVE TESTER Open the current page at 14 common screen sizes — phones, tablets, laptops and desktop monitors — in portrait or landscape, or enter any custom width and height. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✓ Zero setup — install and start testing immediately ✓ No account or sign-up required ✓ Works on any http or https website ✓ All tools in a persistent side panel ✓ Built-in user guide for every feature ✓ Light and dark theme — your choice is remembered ✓ Your data stays in your browser* ✓ Lightweight — does not slow down your browsing *Except Spell Check, which sends the page's text to the LanguageTool service to be checked ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 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) Bug Reports: ZIP (HTML report + screenshot + GIF) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Test Buddy is built with privacy in mind.
