Forces you to think deeper about user story risk before you even touch code.
A bit academic in its workflow, but sharpens sprint testing sessions nicely.
Great little extension for spotting hidden edge cases in requirements.
Too minimalist, wanted more automated test generation instead of prompts.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Guides testers through Reconnaissance, Exploration and Recoup so each session stays short, focused and purposeful.
Suggests user expectations, potential issues, criteria and behaviour conditions to speed up probe design.
Captures persona, scope, interactions and environment notes, then charts them into mind and interaction maps.
Builds smart checklists, test ideas and level-based scenarios, then tracks execution and improvises on the fly.
Sets up probing sessions end to end so hypothesis-based testing fits neatly inside an Agile sprint.
doSmartQA Personal Edition is a Chrome extension published by STAG Software that packages the company's HyBIST methodology into a practical toolbox for everyday testers. Rather than automating clicks or storing test cases, it focuses on the thinking part of QA: understanding the big picture of a user story, forming hypotheses about where issues might hide, and designing smart probes to confirm or refute them.
The extension organises probing work into short, focused sessions across three phases — Reconnaissance, Exploration and Recoup. Supporting tools include a Landscaper for capturing personas, expectations, interactions and environment notes; a Mind mapper for seeing the whole entity; a Mapper for charting scope and interaction maps; a Deep diver for surfacing conditions and criteria; a Designer for building checklists, test ideas and scenario levels; plus an Executor and Session planner to run and improve each session.
An Intelligent Assistant powered by generative AI sits on top of these tools, suggesting user expectations, potential issues, criteria and behaviour conditions to accelerate the work. The listing is aimed at QA practitioners in tech companies with Agile development practices; an enterprise edition adds team collaboration and richer insights.
Turn a fresh user story into hypotheses and smart probes before the sprint ends, so risky areas get attention early.
Run repeatable session-based probing that produces shared visibility into what was explored and what was found.
Question stories from a persona, interaction and environment angle to expose ambiguities before code is written.
