Nigel Beresford (ID: 000000230c46ee85) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/10/2022 Works well for recording test cases BUT causes repeated freezes in chromium based MS Edge on some websites. For example: https://www.diy.com/ I've tried 2 separate instances and each time, disabling the extension immediately rectifies the problem. I'll still use it but for now it has default state of disabled in my browsers.

Keagan Williams (ID: 000000dc071772dd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/01/2020 In the current version, if it is unable to bubble itself to become window.top. It will cause an infinite loop and freeze your tab.

Robin (ID: 000000efa14d7374) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/16/2020 Works ok, even though the test playback isn't so fast. But the UI mostly only respond after doing something 2 times. e.g. renaming a test: first click nothing happens, second click the name input box opens.

Chris Arndt (ID: 000000387d117cbf) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/25/2018 This tool allowed Qualys Web Scanner to successfully submit a Rails web form. This tool works nicer and is uploadable to Qualys than the previous tool (Selenium IDE). Thank you! to the developer of this extension.

Guy Yollin (ID: 0000006a72308aac) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/17/2018 My purpose in using this tools was to create authentication scripts to be used with Qualys Web Scanner. This tools seems to be very gen 1 like. But the worst part is that simple authentication scripts created with the tool are still not compatible (without manual post processing) with QAS.
