LaunchWithCursor QA Tester (Chrome extension)
The LaunchWithCursor QA Tester extension is a floating Chrome panel for certified manual testers on the LaunchWithCursor platform. It is not a general-purpose testing tool — you need an active tester account and a platform-assigned project before it is useful.
Who can use it
- You completed the tester certification course and passed the final exam.
- LaunchWithCursor staff approved your tester access.
- You received a platform assignment (shown in your Talent hub).
If you are not an approved tester yet, start at the Tester program.
Install and sign in
- Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store (or the download link in your Talent hub if provided).
- Open the web app you are testing in a normal browser tab.
- Click the LaunchWithCursor QA icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the floating panel.
- Sign in to launchwithcursor.com with the same account you used for certification.
- Paste your Bearer token into the Authentication field in the panel, then click Save auth.
Your token is the same session credential the LaunchWithCursor web app uses after sign-in. If assignments fail to load, sign out and back in on the website, copy a fresh token, and save it again in the panel.
Use ← / → in the panel header to dock it on the left or right. Close the panel only with ✕ — clicking outside does not dismiss it.
Using the panel
Once authenticated, pick an assignment and use the tabs:
- Project — MVP-SPEC, staging URL, platform instructions, and payout details.
- Test run — Execute AI-generated UX test cases (pass, fail, blocked, or skipped).
- Defect — Lodge findings with severity, description, optional Network/Console notes, and an automatic screenshot of the visible tab.
- Team chat — Message the LaunchWithCursor QA team and project thread.
Open the app under test in the main browser tab beside the panel.
Common issues
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| No assignments listed | Confirm tester access is active in your Talent hub. Assignments appear when you are invited, assigned, or claim a listing. |
| Auth or API errors | Refresh your Bearer token from the web app after signing in again. |
| Screenshot not attached | Grant the extension permission to capture the active tab. Some restricted Chrome pages (e.g. chrome:// URLs) cannot be captured. |
| Test suite empty | The founder’s test suite may still be generating. Use ad-hoc defects on the Defect tab until cases appear. |
For assignment-specific questions, use Team chat in the extension or the clarifications thread on your assignment in the Tester hub.
