Install Test Recorder

Why do you need the test recorder?

To run and record the tests, BugBug requires you to install a Chrome Extension-based test recorder.

This extension must be installed and enabled in Incognito mode.

Why does the extension require incognito mode?

Each test should run in complete isolation to ensure reliability and consistency. This means starting every test with a clean environment — free of cookies, cache, localStorage, and other session data.

To achieve this, BugBug executes tests in Incognito mode. Every test run begins by closing any existing Incognito session and opening a new window, guaranteeing a fresh, clean state each time.

Install the extension

Go to BugBug Extension on the Chrome Webstore and install it.

If you try to run or record the test without the extension you will see a prompt

Enable the extension in Incognito mode

If you don't enable the extension in incognito mode, you will ba asked to do so before running a test

1. Go to extension settings by clicking the "Go to extension settings" button or use the link below

Scroll down, then enable the switch near "Allow in Incognito"

That's it! You're ready to run and record the tests now.

[Opera Only] Allow access to search page results

The BugBug extension requires the 'Allow access to search page results' permission to function properly in Opera. When this option is disabled, Opera blocks access to sandboxed iframes, such as reCAPTCHA. Therefore, attaching to tabs containing these types of frames is not allowed.

We take your privacy seriously. This permission is used solely for recording and running tests. We never collect, store, or share your search queries or personal data.
