Thanks a ton for hunting us @dessaigne ! Hi everyone, I am Laurent, the CTO of Waldo. I am super excited about this new product that we’re launching. After spending some / a few / a good number of years on building the best (we hope) tool to automate mobile apps, we’ve decided to give away some parts of the technology to serve more use cases around mobile testing. One of the most common frustration we hear from mobile teams is how hard it is to **share** information around a mobile user flow: 😠 it’s hard for product and developers to efficiently do a new feature review. Sure, both can run the pre-release build on their own, but what if a button is not properly implemented and does not correspond to the original specs? where do you capture that? 😠 it’s hard for developers to know what to do when they receive a bug ticket that states “Login button does not work”. Sure, there might be a few more details in the ticket than that, but more often than not the ticket will get closed as “cannot reproduce” because there’s simply not enough information and context to work with 😠 it’s hard for mobile teams to share with the rest of the org what just got shipped. A Changelog.md is great, but that’s far from giving the real picture.. We’ve made Waldo Sessions with all those use cases in mind. It allows to run your app on any device right from the browser, to annotate at specific time of the session, and to share the replay with its full context: 😃 the review is now a breeze: the developer records the new feature flow, the product manager goes over the replay and annotates all its nits along the video. 😃 in case you notice a bug, you simply share the link (better yet, at the time it happened) and the developer has all the information to debug: logs, network requests, video stream, list of gestures.. there’s no need to reproduce, all the information is already there. 😃 and that replay link also becomes the best way to showcase your next great feature with the rest of the org! We’re really looking forward to all your feedback on this release, we hope you like it!

💡 Bright idea

I think this feature could be as big as a change in Product Development than when Figma was introduced... The ability to play with a iOS simulator directly from the browser, test a new branch, and comment inline is absolutely game changer.
