A cross-platform QA companion for software test teams. Capture screenshots, screen recordings, logs and version info the instant you find a defect, then create or verify the Redmine issue in one flow — no more window juggling. GitLab, GitHub and Jira integrations coming soon.
The ProblemWhy does filing one bug mean switching six tools?
Reporting a defect is usually a scattered chore: take a screenshot, find a recording tool, dig through the log folder, look up the version number, open a browser, log into Redmine, create an issue, upload attachments one by one, fill the fields… a single bug can mean hopping between half a dozen tools, wasting time and risking missed information.
QA Assistant collapses all of that into one workflow. It lives on your device, captures screenshots, recordings and logs as you test, then lets you create a new issue or verify an existing one from the same interface — evidence, version info and assignee attached automatically — writing it straight back to Redmine.
Built for:
Software QA engineers and testers who reproduce and report defects on real desktop or mobile targets
Development and QA teams using Redmine for issue tracking (GitLab / GitHub / Jira integrations coming soon)
QA leads who need to deploy consistent test configurations across machines or customer environments
Enter your Redmine URL and API key, pick a project. On desktop you can also define log paths and version probes. Keys are stored in the OS keychain — never exposed.
2
Capture evidence as you test
Grab screenshots and screen recordings while exercising the app under test. Desktop editions also collect logs and version info automatically to fully reconstruct the defect scene.
3
Create a new issue (Explore mode)
Fill in title, description (with templates), tracker type, priority, version, assignee and labels — attach the evidence you just captured and submit in one go.
4
Verify an existing issue (Review mode)
Pick the test result and it maps to the correct Redmine status automatically. Add notes, attach evidence, optionally reassign the owner, and write it back — without switching windows.
5
Track & discuss
A built-in activity timeline (history and comments) lets you revisit discussions at any time and stay on top of every defect's progress.

SecuritySecurity & privacy by design
Keys never hit disk
Redmine API keys live in the OS secure store (Windows Credential Manager / macOS Keychain). They are never written to config files and never leave your machine.
Encrypted backups
Settings backups use AES-256-GCM + PBKDF2 password encryption. Secrets are excluded by default so you can safely share configuration templates.
Log masking
Sensitive strings in logs are automatically masked before upload, preventing passwords or tokens from leaking into issue attachments.
No third-party relay
All data flows directly between your device and your own Redmine. Nothing passes through Larvata servers or any cloud intermediary.
Use CasesWhere QA Assistant fits your workflow
Desktop software QA
Record a repro, auto-attach logs, event logs, DLL versions and MD5 — a complete, verifiable defect report in one shot.
Mobile app testing
Snap a photo or screenshot in the field and create or verify an issue instantly on Android or iOS — no desktop required.
Regression & verification
Mark results on existing issues quickly, attach fresh evidence, and reassign the owner — the status updates automatically in your tracker.
Cross-machine / customer deployment
Move settings with an encrypted backup or ship a pre-configured installer to a customer — no manual setup on every machine.
FAQFrequently asked questions
Q: Which issue trackers are supported?
Redmine is fully supported today. GitLab, GitHub and Jira integrations are in development — let us know which one your team needs most.
Q: Is my Redmine API key safe?
Yes. Keys live in the OS secure store; backups exclude keys by default, and you choose whether to include them.
Q: Why no log capture or screen recording on mobile?
Mobile devices are sandboxed and the use case differs. Logs, system events and version probes belong to desktop testing, so they're desktop-only features.
Q: How do I install QA Assistant?
Windows ships an MSI installer, macOS a DMG disk image, and mobile an app package. Contact us to receive download links.
Q: Can I ship a pre-configured installer to a customer?
Yes. QA Assistant supports custom provisioning — we can produce an installer pre-loaded with connection settings for a specific customer, eliminating per-machine manual setup.
