QA Trace is a Chrome add-on designed to streamline the process of bug tracking and documentation for web applications. This free tool records user actions, monitors runtime errors, and generates structured prompts that can be utilized for creating bug reports and exploratory testing documentation. It features three distinct modes for prompt generation: concise steps for ticket creation, neutral action documentation, and comprehensive reports of all interactions and errors, making it versatile for various testing needs.

In addition to its prompt capabilities, QA Trace offers robust error monitoring, detecting JavaScript console errors, network failures, and UI errors with configurable CSS selectors. It automatically captures screenshots for UI errors and integrates seamlessly with OpenAI and other compatible LLM endpoints for prompt delivery. With a strong focus on privacy, QA Trace ensures that no data leaves the browser without explicit action, and sensitive information is automatically redacted, providing a secure testing environment.
