PromptQA Recorder turns clicking around your app into a working, runnable test in seconds.

Capture flows, debug them step-by-step, replay them in a fresh window, and export to whichever framework your team uses — Markdown, Playwright (TS or JS), Cypress, or Selenium Java. Everything stays on your machine: no telemetry, no upload, no account.

━━━ WHY USE IT ━━━

🎯 SMART LOCATORS
Each step carries a stability-ordered fallback chain — data-testid → ARIA role + accessible name → label → placeholder → text → CSS. Replays survive small UI shifts that would break a brittle selector. Walks up the DOM for testids placed on parent wrappers (the common case for cards / list items).

▶ ONE-CLICK PLAYBACK
Replay in a fresh window or your current tab. Live status strip + on-page ring overlay show which step is running, with green/red badges for pass/fail. Built-in auto-wait so flaky pages don't fail on first miss.

🐛 STEP-THROUGH DEBUGGER (new in 4.0)
Set breakpoints on any step. Step over (F10), Continue (F8), Skip, Stop. Combine with Play (pause at breakpoints) or Debug (pause everywhere). Per-flow breakpoints persist across reloads.

⚙️ POWERFUL PLAY SETTINGS
A gear menu next to Play: where to run (clean window vs current tab), speed (Slow / Normal / Fast), wait per step (1–20s slider), stop on first failure toggle.

📤 EXPORT TO ANY FRAMEWORK (expanded in 4.0)
• Markdown — portable scenario for AI agents (Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor / Copilot)
• Playwright (TS + JS toggle) — getByRole / getByTestId / expect.soft, native auto-wait
• Cypress — cy.get / cy.contains chains, vanilla or Testing-Library style
• Selenium Java (JUnit 5) — locator-pool resolver, soft asserts via try/catch
Inline syntax highlighting in the preview for all formats.

📂 OPEN IN VS CODE (new in 4.0)
One click saves the export to Downloads and opens it directly in VS Code with the right syntax highlighting.

✅ ASSERT MODE
While recording, switch to assert mode and pick any element to add a verification step — visible / contains text / input value. Per-assert wait timeout. Soft asserts that record failures without halting the run.

🔄 MULTI-FLOW (new in 4.0)
Keep multiple recordings side-by-side. Switch between them, run several flows back-to-back as a smoke suite, import / export each independently.

⏸ PAUSE / RESUME, INSERT BETWEEN STEPS
Take a side-trip without polluting the timeline. Continue recording after Stop to append to an existing flow. Hover any row to insert new steps at that exact position.

🔀 DRAG-TO-REORDER + MULTI-SELECT BULK DELETE
Clean up noisy captures (cookie banners, accidental clicks) with Shift / Cmd-click range select.

📊 RUN REPORT (new in 4.0)
After every run, a self-contained HTML report with pass/fail tallies, per-step timings, error details, and a shareable single-file format. Optional auto-download.

🔍 LOCATOR PICKER & QUERY TOOL
Globally available — click anywhere on a page to inspect every locator strategy with stability ratings, ready-to-copy Markdown + Selenium Java snippets, plus a CSS / XPath query bar with multi-element highlight and cycle navigation.

🪟 POP-OUT FLOATING WINDOW
Detach the panel into a 40%-of-screen floating window. State stays in sync via the background coordinator.

📥 IMPORT EXPORTED FILES
Drop previously-exported .md files back in. Multi-file import with auto-deduped names. Recovery loop for accidentally cleared recordings.

🎨 PROFESSIONAL UI POLISH (new in 4.0)
Hardened minimum panel width, tab-scoped side panel, custom right-click menu (reload, check for updates, etc), redesigned export modal, locator details with full-width inline editing + undo/redo.

━━━ PRIVACY ━━━

• No tracking, no analytics, no remote logging
• Recordings live in chrome.storage.local — survive browser restarts
• Permissions: activeTab, scripting, storage, tabs, sidePanel, downloads
• Open-source feedback repo on GitHub
• Sensitive fields (password type, OTP, credit-card, API-key, anything matching common credential patterns) are auto-masked before they leave the page

━━━ FEEDBACK ━━━

Bugs and feature requests:
github.com/hariprasadms/promptqa_issues_feedback

The "Report a bug" button (right-click menu or playback failure strip) opens a pre-filled GitHub issue with your failure context auto-attached.

━━━ FOR WHO ━━━

• QA engineers documenting flows for AI to maintain
• Developers prototyping E2E coverage without hand-writing selectors
• Anyone handing test scenarios to Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor and getting back working Playwright / Cypress / Selenium
• Teams looking for a private, local-only alternative to cloud test recorders

Record user interactions and export as portable .md test scenarios

Record browser flows · inspect elements with the locator picker · export as Playwright, Cypress or Selenium code

May 9, 2026

description

PromptQA Recorder turns clicking around your app into a working test in seconds — and replays it back to prove it works.

A side-panel Chrome extension that captures every meaningful interaction (clicks, typing, navigations, selects, assertions) and exports either:
• A portable Markdown scenario for AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot), or
• A ready-to-run JUnit 5 + Selenium WebDriver Java test class.

Everything stays on your machine — no telemetry, no upload, no account.

━━━ KEY FEATURES ━━━

🎯 SMART LOCATORS
Each step carries a fallback chain — data-testid → ARIA role+name → label → placeholder → text → CSS — so replays survive small UI shifts that would break a brittle selector.

▶️ ONE-CLICK PLAYBACK
Replay the captured flow in a fresh window or your current tab. A live status strip + on-page ring overlay shows which step is running, with green/red badges for pass/fail. Built-in auto-wait so flaky pages don't fail on first miss.

⚙️ POWERFUL PLAY SETTINGS
A gear menu next to Play lets you choose:
• Where to run — clean window, or current tab to keep cookies/login
• Speed — Slow (1.2s) / Normal (350ms) / Fast (100ms) between steps
• Wait per step — slider from 1–20 s for element auto-wait
• Stop on first failure — toggle off to surface every failure at once

☕ SELENIUM JAVA EXPORT
Export tab emits a complete JUnit 5 test class with WebDriverWait, the same locator-pool resolution as the recorder, and proper handling of click / type / select / check / uncheck / assert. Full Java syntax highlighting in the preview — VS Code "Dark+" / "Light+" palettes, AA contrast.

📝 MARKDOWN EXPORT WITH AI PROMPT
YAML frontmatter (id, feature, base_url, priority, tags) + numbered Test Steps + a natural-English AI Prompt block + an embedded JSON log with full locator detail for tools that want to convert or replay.

🔍 FAILURE VISIBILITY
When a playback step fails:
• The failing row turns red in the rail with the reason inline
• Click "Copy" — error + step + extension version + browser is on your clipboard, ready to paste
• Click "Report" — opens a pre-filled GitHub Issue with all the failure detail already populated

⏸️ PAUSE / RESUME
Take a side-trip (close a popup, set up state) without polluting the timeline.

🔀 DRAG-TO-REORDER + MULTI-SELECT BULK DELETE
Clean up noisy captures (cookie banners, accidental clicks) with Shift/Cmd-click range select.

🪟 POP-OUT FLOATING WINDOW
Detach the side panel into a floating window sized to 40% of your screen. State stays in sync via the background coordinator.
