BugBug
BugBug turns recorded browser activity into automated end-to-end tests for web applications.
What BugBug is
BugBug turns recorded browser activity into automated end-to-end tests for web applications. Its Chrome extension captures clicks, typing, navigation, and forms, and users can add assertions during recording. Adaptive Locators, Smart Click & Scroll, and Smart Waiting assist with recorded test steps. The tool supports end-to-end, regression, smoke, and UI testing in Chromium-based browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Brave. Tests can run locally or in the cloud; paid plans add scheduled cloud runs and alerts. Tests are importable and exportable as human-readable YAML for backup, review, and version control. The free plan allows local testing only, with limits of four test suites, one user, one project, and 15 tests. BugBug is not designed for native mobile or desktop apps, Safari, or Firefox. Its listed integrations include source-control, communication, and project tools, alongside CLI, API, SDK, webhooks, and MCP.
