Key point
Replay QA, built on a deterministic time-travel debugger for Chromium and Node.js, identifies over 900 bugs in 40 apps by providing agents with precise execution evidence rather than surface-level logs.
Details
- Replay QA is a generally available tool that uses a time-travel debugger to record and replay non-deterministic inputs in Chromium and Node.js, providing agents with a complete database of executed statements and state changes.
- In an experiment on 40 apps from major building tools (Lovable, Replit, Base44, Bolt.new), QA identified over 900 bugs, with findings confirmed and deduplicated by Astra.
- The tool distinguishes itself from standard QA by providing definitive root cause evidence, such as identifying a missing onClick handler or specific React commits causing layout shifts, allowing agents to fix issues without guessing.
- QA supports self-healing capabilities to reproduce user sessions from partial data and offers API access for generating recordings and analyzing bugs directly within other products.
