Record Test Steps and Generate Automated Tests Instantly
The TestMap.ai Chrome extension captures your real user interactions — clicks, form fills, navigation — and automatically converts them into structured test cases. No coding required.
What is the TestMap.ai Recorder Extension?
A powerful browser extension that records your actual user interactions with web applications and automatically generates test cases. Instead of manually writing test steps, simply perform the actions once, and the extension captures everything needed for automation.
How the Extension Works
When you start recording, the extension monitors all user interactions on the current page. Every click, form input, navigation, and interaction is captured as a structured test step with intelligent selectors, screenshots, and context.
Intelligent Selector Generation
The extension automatically generates multiple selector strategies for each element, ensuring test stability:
- ID selectors (most reliable)
- Data attributes (data-test, data-testid)
- ARIA attributes (accessibility-first)
- Fallback strategies (CSS, XPath)
Key Features & Capabilities
Everything you need to record and automate tests
Record User Interactions
Start recording with one click. The extension captures all interactions — clicks, typing, navigation, form submissions — as structured test steps with timestamps and context.
• Element selectors
• Input values
• Page context
• Navigation events
Link to Test Cases
Connect recorded steps to test cases in TestMap.ai. The recording becomes part of the test case, ready for AI-powered enhancement and automation conversion.
• Link to existing test cases
• Create new test cases
• Organize by project
• Ready for MCP conversion
Test Replay
Replay recorded steps directly in the browser to verify the recording accuracy. Adjust replay speed and see each step execute in real-time.
• Super-fast to super-slow
• Step-by-step execution
• Visual highlighting
• Error detection
Dynamic Variables
Automatically generate dynamic test data — emails, names, dates, UUIDs — for data-driven testing. Variables are generated and stored for reuse across test runs.
• Email, phone, names
• Dates, numbers, text
• UUIDs, passwords
• Custom templates
How to Use the Chrome Extension
Install & Authenticate
Install the TestMap.ai Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. Click the extension icon and sign in to your TestMap.ai account. Select your organization and project where test cases will be stored.
Start Recording
Navigate to the web page you want to test. Click the extension icon and select "Start Recording". A floating toolbar appears, indicating that recording is active. All your interactions are now being captured.
Perform Test Actions
Interact with the page normally — click buttons, fill forms, navigate between pages. The extension automatically captures each action as a test step with selectors, values, screenshots, and context.
Link to Test Case
Once recording is complete, link the recorded steps to a test case in TestMap.ai. The steps are stored with the test case and can be used for AI-powered test generation via MCP integration.
Real-World Use Cases
See how teams use the extension to accelerate testing
E-commerce Checkout Flow Testing
QA teams record the complete checkout process once, then use the recorded steps to generate multiple test scenarios:
2. Navigate to cart page
3. Fill shipping address
4. Select payment method
5. Complete checkout
User Registration Testing
Record the registration flow once, then generate test cases for various scenarios: valid registration, duplicate emails, invalid formats, password validation, and more.
Search & Filter Testing
Record search interactions and filter selections. The extension captures all search parameters, filter combinations, and result interactions for comprehensive test coverage.
Why Use the Chrome Extension?
Key benefits for QA teams
Save Time
Record test steps in minutes instead of writing them manually for hours. No more documenting every click and input by hand.
Accurate Selectors
Intelligent selector generation ensures your tests use the most reliable element identifiers, reducing flakiness and maintenance overhead.
Easy Updates
When applications change, simply re-record the steps. No need to manually update selectors or test documentation.
MCP Integration Ready
Recorded steps work seamlessly with MCP integration. Your AI assistant can analyze recordings and convert them to automated tests instantly.
