Tester Workflow

From bug report to fix, without losing context.

Ansight gives testers a way to capture exactly what happened, document the steps, and hand the full investigation to a developer without guesswork or back-and-forth.

Step 1

The SDK records everything during QA.

While the tester runs through the app, the Ansight SDK is already capturing logs, exceptions, performance metrics, lifecycle events, navigation state, and screenshots. There's nothing extra to set up because the SDK is running from the moment the app launches.

Session Recording
14:30:02 App launched
14:30:05 Navigate → ProductListPage
14:30:12 Tap → "Organic Mango"
14:30:13 Navigate → ProductDetailPage
14:30:14 Memory spike: 284 MB (+120 MB)
14:30:15 Exception: NullReferenceException
14:30:15 Screenshot captured

Step 2

Exact steps, not guesswork.

When the tester hits a bug, they trigger a snapshot from Ansight Studio. The last few minutes of the session are frozen and streamed to Ansight Studio, where every tap, screen transition, and exception is visible on an interactive timeline. The tester documents what they saw, and Ansight Studio already has the evidence.

Reproduction Steps
  1. Open the app and navigate to Products
  2. Tap on "Organic Mango" product
  3. Wait for ProductDetailPage to load
  4. Observe: banner image fails to render
  5. App memory spikes to 284 MB
  6. NullReferenceException in ImageCacheService
Tester note: Happens every time on this product. Other products load fine.

Step 3

A flow chart of the failure path.

Ansight Studio converts the captured session into a Mermaid flow chart. The tester and developer can see the exact user journey, including which screens were visited, what actions were taken, and where the failure happened. The bug path becomes obvious at a glance.

Tap "Organic Mango"

Step 4

Clean handoff with full context.

The tester exports the session or shares the saved analysis. The developer opens the same session in Ansight Studio with the same timeline, evidence, and flow chart. From there, an AI agent can query the app's live state through MCP to verify the root cause and suggest a fix. No context is lost between tester and developer.
