Can I execute custom JavaScript in the browser context to test application state?▼

Yes, you can execute custom JavaScript in the browser context to test application logic or verify state. The Skill supports running scripts directly within Chrome to interact with your web application during debugging workflows.

What is the best way to capture visual evidence of user interactions during web testing?▼

The best way to capture visual evidence of user interactions during web testing is using GIF recording. The Skill supports creating GIF recordings of interactive debugging workflows and test flows to document behavior.

Does this Chrome debugging approach require any specific browser extensions or dependencies?▼

No specific browser extensions or dependencies are required. The Skill operates using Chrome's MCP tools to facilitate in-browser debugging, network inspection, and JavaScript execution without needing additional setup.

How do I monitor API calls and Fetch requests to understand data flow in a web app?▼

To monitor API calls and Fetch requests, use the network inspection feature to track XHR and Fetch activity. This helps you understand data flow and identify failed API requests causing unexpected web application behavior.

Why does my web application behave unexpectedly, and how can I pinpoint the exact issue?▼
