Can we rebuild Test & Feedback?

Build a Chrome extension like Test & Feedback — a Test & Feedback alternative you own.

If you want to build your own Test & Feedback alternative, modern browser APIs make it entirely straightforward. This Chrome extension pairs tab capture and canvas annotation with issue tracker APIs to streamline QA reporting. Creating your own private alternative lets your team file rich bugs directly into Linear, GitHub, or Jira.

What Test & Feedback does

Test & Feedback - Now everyone on the team can own quality. Capture findings, create issues, and collaborate with the team, directly from the browser. Everyone in the team, be it product owners, developers, testers, UX designers etc., can now test their web-apps and give feedback, all directly from the browser on any platform: Windows, Mac, or Linux. All kinds of teams will now be able to drive quality in 3 easy steps – capture, create & collaborate. Capture - Take notes, screenshots with annotations, and screen recordings to capture problems. Automatically include rich data like user actions (as an image action log), page load data, and system information. Create - Create bugs, tasks, and feedback response work items to send feedback or report problems. Create test cases quickly based on the image action log while you explore your app.
