Test Assist

Capture the screen. Annotate what is wrong. Export a composited image and the annotation data as structured JSON — a defect report a developer can act on without a follow-up conversation.

It exists because attaching a raw screenshot to a defect is not evidence — it is a starting point for an argument. A good defect report makes the finding reproducible from the record alone, and the tooling for that is usually either heavyweight, cloud-bound, or not built for testers.

Nothing to install and nothing asked in return — no email, no sign-up.

A captured screen being marked up in Test Assist: a highlight over a validation error, a circle on the field it refers to, a boxed defect with an arrow, and a typed note. Both exports are listed in the left rail. — A capture being marked up — highlight, circle, boxed defect with arrow, and a typed note, with both exports in the left rail.

Built twice, from one specification

The PySide6 desktop application is the one designed to be lived in — a native overlay with a tray launcher that stays above whatever you are testing. The browser build was written from the same specification, so the tool can be used without an install, which is also what makes it demonstrable from a link. Both are real; the browser build runs the whole capture, annotate and export loop on its own.
