Three reasons to love TestChimp's Observation Solution
While other solutions fumble with static specs and placeholder data, TestChimp learns by recording real test sessions. We don't record video, we capture and index everything from the UI to the APIs to Backend. TestChimp makes it easier to share and collaborate, saving you time and money.
We've developed three observability capture solutions. From our fast start Chrome Extension to the full stack SDK, we've got exactly what you need.
#1: Share the whole story in a single Permalink
Are you uploading bulky video files to Jira tickets as evidence? Facing countless back and forth with devs due to lack of context provided?
Each recording has a unique permalink, making sharing with devs, adding to Jira tickets, and reporting as simple as copy/paste.

#2: Get to the Root Cause
anywhere in the stack
You pass the bug to a dev, who has to dig through service logs, only to pass it to another dev of another service to check their end. Sounds familiar?
TestChimp's Recordings capture activity across your entire stack (UI + API + Backend Layers) as well as the complete call tree, throughout your entire service stack.
Now your devs can quickly get to the root cause of ANY issue, in every part of the stack.
Want to find a session that error'ed during the checkout step? One that used a Visa card?
Each session recording is indexed by the execution paths that occurred during the session. TestChimp makes it easier for teams to share and collaborate by simplifying the process of finding the right test sessions.

#3: Each session indexed and searchable by activity

-
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).
