BugReplay consultants

Q: How does BugReplay work technically?

BugReplay runs as a browser extension (Chrome and Firefox). When recording is active, it captures screen content and simultaneously monitors the browser's developer tools data (console and network tabs). The recording is uploaded to BugReplay's servers where it is processed into a playback view that syncs the video timeline with the technical log entries.

Q: Can BugReplay reports be sent directly to our issue tracker?

Yes. BugReplay integrates with Jira, GitHub, Trello, Asana, and other project management tools. When a recording is completed, it can be pushed directly to your issue tracker as a new ticket with the replay link, environment details, and any notes the reporter added. This eliminates manual copy-pasting of bug details.

Q: Is BugReplay useful for customer support teams, not just QA?

Yes. Support agents can use BugReplay to record the steps that reproduce a customer-reported issue, creating a clear report for the development team. This is more efficient than translating a customer phone call or email into a written bug report, because the recording captures exactly what happens along with the technical context.

Q: Does BugReplay work for mobile web testing?

BugReplay's browser extension works for testing mobile-responsive layouts in desktop browsers using device emulation. For testing on actual mobile devices, you would need to use the browser-based web version. Native mobile app testing is outside BugReplay's scope; for that, tools like Instabug are more appropriate.

About BugReplay

BugReplay is a browser-based bug reporting tool that records screen activity along with browser console logs, network requests, and system environment details. When a tester or user encounters a bug, BugReplay captures a video of what happened on screen while simultaneously logging the technical data developers need to reproduce the issue. The result is a shareable link containing both the visual replay and the underlying technical context.

The problem BugReplay solves is the gap between “what the user saw” and “what the developer needs.” Most bug reports are screenshots with vague descriptions. Developers waste time trying to reproduce issues without knowing what browser was used, what network requests failed, or what console errors appeared. BugReplay captures all of this automatically alongside the screen recording, which shortens the time from report to fix.

Osher integrates BugReplay into QA and development workflows where client-facing applications are being tested. We connect BugReplay outputs to issue trackers so that development teams receive complete, actionable bug reports without needing to go back and forth with testers for missing details. This fits into our broader approach to business process automation, where reducing manual handoffs speeds up delivery cycles.

BugReplay FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about how BugReplay consultants can help with integration and implementation

What does BugReplay actually capture?

BugReplay records three things simultaneously: a video of the browser screen showing what the user saw, the browser console log (JavaScript errors, warnings, log messages), and network request details (URLs, status codes, response times, headers). It also captures the browser type, version, operating system, and screen resolution. All of this is packaged into a single shareable link.

What should we consider before adopting BugReplay?

Key considerations include: your team’s browser distribution (BugReplay’s extension supports Chrome and Firefox), whether you need recordings from external users or only internal testers, storage and retention policies for recorded sessions (especially if recordings may contain sensitive data), and integration compatibility with your existing issue tracking and project management tools.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement BugReplay

As BugReplay consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate BugReplay with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Process Audit

We review your current bug reporting and QA workflow. This includes how testers currently document bugs, what information developers receive, how much time is spent reproducing reported issues, and where communication breakdowns occur between testing, support, and development teams.

Step 2

Identify Automation Opportunities

We identify where BugReplay removes manual steps: replacing screenshot-and-description bug reports with recorded sessions, automating issue tracker ticket creation from recordings, and reducing back-and-forth between testers and developers by ensuring complete technical context is captured with every report.

Step 3

Design Workflows

We design the reporting workflow: who uses the BugReplay extension (QA team, support agents, or external beta testers), how recordings are named and categorised, which issue tracker receives the reports, and what metadata (priority, component, assignee) is set automatically on created tickets.

Step 4

Implementation

We deploy the BugReplay extension to your testing team, configure the issue tracker integration (Jira, GitHub, or other), set up any team workspace settings and permissions, and run a training session covering recording best practices, annotation, and the report submission workflow.

Step 5

Quality Assurance Review

We verify that recordings capture the expected data (console logs, network requests, environment details), test issue tracker integration to confirm tickets are created correctly, and validate that replay links are accessible to developers. We also check recording quality across different screen resolutions and browser configurations.

Step 6

Support and Maintenance

After rollout, we help manage recording storage and retention policies, onboard new team members to the BugReplay workflow, troubleshoot any browser extension compatibility issues, and adjust issue tracker integration settings as your project management processes evolve.
