Share Better Bug Reports with Full-Stack Recordings

Go beyond just the UI. Give your developers the complete context of bugs. TestChimp's Full Stack Recordings capture activity across your entire stack (UI + API + Backend Layers) to create a complete picture.

Share the whole story in a single link with Permalinks

Are you uploading bulky video files to Jira tickets as evidence? Facing countless back and forth with devs due to lack of context provided?

TestChimp generates unique permalinks for each captured session, making them ideal for sharing with devs, add to Jira tickets, and link in reports.

Get to the Root Cause of the bug quickly - no matter how deep in the stack

You pass the bug to a dev, who has to now dig through service logs, only to pass it to another dev of another service to check on their end. Sounds familiar?

TestChimp session recordings show the API activity as well as the complete call tree throughout your entire service stack, alongside the UI. This allows devs working anywhere in the stack to get to the culprit of the bug quickly.

Each session indexed and searchable by activity occurred

Want to find a session that error'ed during the checkout step? One that used a Visa card?

Each session recording captured is indexed by what execution paths occurred during the session. This allows teams to find sample test sessions to share and collaborate on without a hassle.

Always-On Auto-Capture

  • TestChimp records DOM mutations rather than pixels, resulting in very high fidelity UI playback, and ability to interact with recorded elements, while resulting in smaller file sizes compared to bulky video files.

  • Always On Auto-Capture ensures that all sessions are readily available for sharing and collaboration without needing manual intervention to start and end capture (available with Agent SDK).
