Chrome Extension
The TestChimp Chrome Extension is a browser companion focused on test authoring and manual execution capture while you work in your app. It does not replace your primary workflow in the Web IDE, Claude/Cursor with the TestChimp skill, or CI—it adds fast capture from the browser.
What the extension does today
The extension has two tabs:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Manual | Record a manual test session—linked to a test-planning scenario or run open-ended with an objective—capture steps, notes, and bugs, then mark the run passed or failed. |
| Script Gen | Step capture that generates Playwright SmartTests from your interactions (with optional scenario linkage). |
Standalone extension workflows for AI bug finding, bug analytics, scenario brainstorming, and visual vibe coding are not available in the current build. You can file bugs during manual capture (see Manual test session capture); those become first-class bug records in TestChimp when the session is saved.
