Testing Taxi

Intelligent Assistant for Testers

v1.22 - March 8, 2024

Export to Issue Tracker

All our test suggestions that show auto-detected defects now have an option to export that directly to your issue tracker. The export generates a PDF artifact that you can include in your report.  

Fill Favorites

We’ve added an way to keep track of which fills you use on a regular basis, or just want to keep handy. Simply grab an item from your fill history and star it.

Updated Layout

We’ve adjusted the main screen to be easier to work with. We hope you like it 🙂

More Generated File Types

We’ve added generated files types for additional common types: docx, pdf, xlsx, mov, mp3 and more!

v1.21 - February 2, 2024

Privacy Improvements

No more debugging bar! No more tabs permissions required!! Here’s an update that’s focused on improving privacy and reducing our access footprint.

In our early days, we used the Chrome Debugging API to access DOM features and do all the magic required to make Testing Taxi work. It was a quick and easy way to access the properties we needed to give you good results.

It’s become clear that the Chrome Debugging API is a blunt tool to achieve the goals of Testing Taxi. The APIs are too far reaching for security conscious organizations and frankly aren’t necessary. A tighter, more surgical access would serve everyone much better.

We’ve re-architected our DOM access for everything from inspections to auto-test to mobile rendering to work without tabs and debugger access. We’ve tested our new integration with common UI frameworks and best practises.

Copy Element Selector

You can now quickly see and copy selectors for the form field you’ve focused. This is really helpful when you’re writing automation. Here’s a simple way to get those selectors without a bunch of calculations.

v1.16 - January 17, 2024

Edge case generator

It comes up with common ways to break your web app with both positive and negative test cases. It’s easier than ever to get just a bit deeper on those exploratory and scripted tests!

We’ve got everything you’d expect:
👨‍🔧 👩‍🔧 generic names
🚛 max/min length strings of varying sizes
🔣 special characters
📬 localized addresses with zip and postal codes
🔐 sql injection
✉ email addresses, urls and more

All the data uses our quick inject or copy fields so it’s super easy to get your test values in there. Easy value also includes a suggested checkmark or error-mark as to whether or not we think that value should be accepted by the system.

Click in the input you’d like to generate for. Click the value to inject. That’s it!

Improved Security Restrictions

You can now use the built-in Chrome site-filters to restrict which sites Testing Taxi has access to.

Stability Improvements

We fixed a bunch of bugs around right clicking on new tabs, CORS and improved data generator randomization.

One-click Cross Browser/Device Rendering

PRO

You can now render your current screen on other devices and browsers with “Render”. Simply setup the scenario you want to test in Chrome and press the Device/Browser you’d like us to render it on.

It even works on localhost and behind firewalls.

v1.0 – September 1, 2023

Contextual note taking makes it easy to jot down notes for a specific page or template and have it come back up the next time you’re in that spot of the app. Contextual notes use pattern matching in the URL to determine “where you are in the app”.
