Description

Exploratory testing assistant for Chrome. Adds common problematic values and edge cases to the context menu (right-click) for editable elements, so you can keep them handy and access them easily during exploratory testing sessions. - Convenient access to common boundaries and edge cases for exploratory testing - Extend easily with your own config files - Works on input fields, text areas, content editable DIVs - Works on multi-frame pages, but only if they are from the same domain - Tiny overhead per page (<1k), no 3rd party library dependencies, completely passive, so it does not interfere with your web app execution in any way - Opensource and customisable (https://github.com/gojko/bugmagnet) Version 3.0 is a major overhaul with lots of new features, check out https://bugmagnet.org/v3.html for a list of new features

Shows up in Chrome, but selecting options from the context menu never populates any input fields or text areas.

It's a useful plugin but unfortunately it will be removed soon. I found another very useful Bug Magnet plugin which is super advance, leaving the link below for your reference. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bug-magnet/emejgoaioepelbhkhnfjpkmfbfmnfkbj

After installing this tool from google chrome web store, when I right click on page, I am not able to see the option of Bug Magnet.

This tool was great but now as this is not supporting anymore, I found Auto Data Filler, the best replacement for this bug magnet.

This is super useful for exploratory testing - to quickly input edge cases and common values. Too bad its going to go away soon from the webstore. If you are looking for an alternative - TestChimps' extension now offers the same capability with 2 additional nifty tricks: 1) Supports dynamic values - such as current date, time, year, random numbers, amounts, urls etc. 2) Right-click to add custom vocabulary values - Say you are repetitively using a few values in your sessions. You can easily add them to the vocabulary with a right-click, making them quickly accessible the next time you need it. Here is the link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/testchimp-create-api-auto/ailhophdeloancmhdklbbkobcbbnbglm
