Everything Gremlin UAT does
From the first recording to the printed plan, and the tools that keep a big UAT easy to change.
Recording
Use the website once. Gremlin writes the steps and takes the pictures.
Chrome plugin
Records any website. Each step gets a picture of the whole page, with the spot you used boxed in red.
Page overlay
One script tag on a site you run gives a recorder toolbar in any browser, nothing to install.
Shortcut steps
Alt+Shift+S adds a step picturing the page as it is, Alt+Shift+P a whole-page step. Alt+Shift+H hides the step count.
Passwords stay out
Password fields are never stored, and one switch hides card numbers and other private fields in the pictures.
Re-record a step
Do a step again from its page. Keep going and the extra steps go in right under it.
Editing scenarios
Quick edit for small fixes, the Script Builder for the whole scenario.
Tidy
Page loads fold into expected results and repeats are flagged. Put back the first recorded words any time.
Steps
Edit, reorder, merge, copy or delete steps, add a step with no picture, and pick each step’s kind: Action, Check or Page.
Picture tools
Red box, color box, arrow, black and white boxes, crop, and take a strip out. Zoom in, show a picture Full or Half width.
A picture per user
A step can show a different picture for each user. One switch sets every step at once.
Warnings before you hand over
Steps with no expected result and variables with no words are listed before Approve or an export.
AI, if you want it
Off by default. Add your own key in Settings and AI can suggest clearer words and expected results. You pick what to keep.
Projects, plans and scenarios
A Project holds the website and its users. Its UAT plans pick from its scenarios.
Users
Add the personas who test the site, each with an ID code and columns of your own.
Automatic or Pick plans
A plan takes its users’ scenarios by itself, or only the ones you add. Reorder them by number or by drag.
Tags and Filter by tag
Tag scenarios by page, area or release. A plan that filters by tag keeps only the ones with its tags.
Groups
Put each scenario in the tool or part of the app it covers, and sort or search by it.
Draft and Approved
Each scenario has a Status. Tick several to tag, group or approve them all at once.
Scenario IDs
Each plan sets its own ID prefix (V-POLICY-001). It can use variables, so each user’s copy gets its own code.
Reuse: write it once
For bigger projects: the same pages, different words, many plans.
Copy a plan
Keeps every field and setting and shares the same scenarios. An optional new tag marks the new run.
Copy a scenario
A separate copy, pictures and all, that you can change freely.
Linked copies
Follow the original’s steps. Each word is {LINK} or its own, a step can be left out of one copy, and Unlink makes it a copy of its own.
Variables
{Team} in a step, expected result, field or name. Words come from the scenario, then the plan, then the Project, for everyone or one user.
Variable lists
A Default list plus named lists on each scenario. Each plan picks the list it uses.
Built-in variables
{User} is the user the copy is for, {User-2} who they are, {User-3} their ID code, {Space} a blank on purpose.
Print, export and hand over
Give the UAT team what they need, in the form they want.
Print and PDF
The plan prints with a cover, a jump-link table and each scenario with its pictures. Save it as a PDF from the print page.
Word
Download the plan or one scenario as a Word file, pictures included.
Whose copy
The full plan, one user’s copy, or every user’s copy one after another.
Your look
Header and footer pictures, Pass / Fail result boxes, Tester and date lines, sign-off words and a line to your tracker (Jira and so on).
Share link
Send the UAT team a read-only link to the plan. They can print it and download Word, no login.
Zip and Approve
Download a plan as a zip and import it into any Project. Approve moves a scenario’s pictures to the Project’s Google Drive.
