sessionSnapshot

sessionSnapshot — Capture precisely. Analyze clearly. Test smarter.

sessionSnapshot was built for testers, developers, and product teams who need clear, reliable visibility into what happens during exploratory testing. No guessing. No missing context. Just real, local data you can analyze and turn into automated tests. 🧭 What sessionSnapshot Does sessionSnapshot records your browser sessions directly inside Chrome — every click, scroll, input, and console event — and saves everything securely on your device using IndexedDB. You can start recording immediately after installation. When you sign in to the dashboard (with a 15-day free trial), you’ll get access to full features: replay sessions, inspect details, view analytics, and generate Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium test code. All session data remains local to your browser, stored only on your machine. ⚙️ How It Works 1. Add the sessionSnapshot extension to Chrome. 2. Click the toolbar icon → Start Recording. 3. Interact with your site or app — every action, screenshot, console log, and network request is captured automatically. 4. Click Stop Recording — the session is saved locally. 5. Open the sessionSnapshot dashboard (trial or active plan) to replay, explore, analyze coverage, or export automated test scripts. That’s it — clean, simple, and entirely under your control. 🔍 Why It’s Useful * For QA Engineers: Stop manually documenting steps and screenshots. sessionSnapshot captures everything you do in one timeline. * For Developers: Reproduce bugs instantly with full visibility — what was clicked, what errors appeared, and what requests failed. * For Product Managers: Understand real test behavior without invasive tracking. Heatmaps and coverage views reveal where testers focus and what’s left untested. * For Automation Engineers: Turn recorded sessions into ready-to-run Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium scripts with Page Object Models included. ✨ Core Features Session Recording * One-click start/stop * Captures clicks, inputs, scrolls, navigation * Screenshots on key actions (clicks, errors, navigation) * Collects console logs, network calls, and performance metrics * Add manual notes or observations while testing Replay & Exploration * Visual timeline to replay every event in order * Screenshot gallery with full-screen previews and diffs * Event inspector: see selectors, attributes, and context * Filter or search by event type Analytics & Insights * Heatmaps: visualize where users or testers interact most * Flow analysis: see the paths taken through your app * Coverage tracking: find untested UI areas * Event distribution metrics for deeper understanding Automated Test Generation * Export recordings as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium tests * Generates robust selectors, waits, and assertions automatically * Built-in Page Object Model generator * Selector Lab for refining element targeting * Export full test suites directly from sessions 🔒 Built with Privacy in Mind sessionSnapshot is designed privacy-first. * All data is saved locally in your browser’s IndexedDB. * No cloud uploads, external storage, or hidden transmissions. * You can delete sessions anytime — everything stays on your device. * No tracking, no analytics, no background data sharing.
