  StepTrace
  
  Record browser interactions as structured, human-readable test steps. Export to Tuskr, Gherkin (BDD), Playwright, Cypress, or Vibium. Built for QA engineers who need to document tests quickly without leaving the browser.
  
  What it does:
  - Records every click, form input, and navigation as a named test step
  - Exports to multiple formats: Gherkin, Playwright, Cypress, Vibium, and numbered step lists
  - Sends test cases directly to Tuskr test management platform
  - Integrates with TestRail and Azure DevOps (configurable)
  - URL & Element Dictionary: maps raw selectors to human-readable names automatically
  - Bilingual interface (English / Polish)
  - Duplicate step detection: skips repeated accidental actions
  - API Testing tab: send HTTP requests directly from the extension (supports curl, Postman HTTP format)
  - Manual test execution: run existing Tuskr test cases step-by-step with pass/fail tracking
  - Reports tab: review test run history
  
  How it works:
  1. Click Start to begin recording
  2. Interact with the page normally — StepTrace captures every action
  3. Review and edit the step list in the popup
  4. Export as Gherkin, send to Tuskr, or copy as Playwright/Cypress/Vibium code
  
  Your credentials (API keys) are stored locally in your browser — never sent to any server other than the platforms you configure (Tuskr, TestRail, Azure DevOps).
  
  Also try ScribeStone and Zplunge — my other QA-focused extensions.

  What it does:
  - Records every click, form input, and navigation as a named test step
  - Two step views: Natural (human-readable sentences) and Programmer (code-export mode)
  - Exports to multiple formats: Gherkin, Playwright, Cypress, Vibium, and numbered step lists
  - Sends test cases directly to Tuskr, TestRail, and Azure DevOps
  - Domain-aware URL & Element Dictionary: maps raw selectors and URLs to human-readable names per domain
  - Full dictionary browser (dictionary.html): sidebar form to add entries, search, inline edit/delete, import/export JSON
  - Bilingual interface (English / Polish) — language file is JSON-based for easy extension
  - Duplicate step detection: skips repeated accidental actions with on-page toast
  - Merge steps: groups all steps from the same URL into a single multi-line step
  - AI enhancement: send your step list to an AI provider to improve step wording
  - API Testing tab: send HTTP requests directly from the extension (supports curl, Postman HTTP format)
  - Manual test execution: run existing Tuskr test cases step-by-step with pass/fail tracking
  - Reports tab: review test run history
  
  How it works:
  1. Click Start to begin recording
  2. Interact with the page normally — StepTrace captures every action
  3. Review and edit the step list in the popup
  4. Switch to Programmer tab for code exports (Gherkin, Playwright, Cypress, Vibium)
  5. Or copy the Natural step list / send directly to Tuskr, TestRail, or Azure DevOps
  
  Your credentials (API keys) are stored locally in your browser — never sent to any server other than the platforms you configure (Tuskr, TestRail, Azure DevOps, your chosen AI provider).
