Where tester work time, bugs filed and Pass/Fail verdicts show up, and who is notified on GitHub and WhatsApp when a fix fails QA

Steps checked September 12, 2026

Once your QA testers are working, you'll want to know what they did: how much time they spent, which bugs they found, which fixes they passed, and which ones they sent back. Here is where each of those shows up — and who gets told.

Time and bugs filed: Tester Activity

Open Tester Activity in the left sidebar (owners only). One row per tester:

The Tester Activity table: each tester's name and email, work time and bugs filed

  • TESTER — name and email;
  • WORK TIME — time they spent signed in to the Glitchgrab Chrome extension;
  • BUGS FILED — bugs they reported.

It counts what testers do through the Chrome extension. no tester activity yet means no tester has used it yet.

This page only shows activity. To add a tester or change their repos, go to Members → Testers (see Add a QA tester).

Fixes they verified: on the GitHub issue

Every verdict a tester gives is written onto the GitHub issue itself, so anyone watching the issue — you, the developer, the assignee — gets GitHub's normal notification.

Tester pressesWhat happens
PassThe issue is closed (if it was still open), and a comment is added: ✅ QA passed — [TESTER: name] verified this fix works.
FailThe issue is reopened for rework, and a comment is added: ❌ QA failed — [TESTER: name] verified this fix and it is not working. with what isn't working and their screenshot. The developer also gets a WhatsApp message (below).
SkipNothing changes on GitHub. The check leaves their queue.

Who gets a WhatsApp message

  • When a fix fails QA, the developer is messaged: ⚠️ Tester <name> says "<issue>" is NOT fixed on <org>. It has been reopened on GitHub. with a View on GitHub button.
    • "The developer" is the GitHub user the check belongs to, if they have a verified WhatsApp number in Glitchgrab.
    • Otherwise the repo owner is messaged instead.
  • When fixes are sent for testing, the tester is messaged with how many are waiting and a button that signs them straight in.
  • In the evening, a tester with fixes waiting who has verified nothing that day gets one reminder (see Add a QA tester).

Passes do not send a WhatsApp message — the closed issue and its comment are the record.

To receive these, add your number in Settings → WhatsApp notifications (see Get WhatsApp alerts for your issues).

A quick weekly review

  1. Tester Activity — is each tester spending time, and filing bugs?
  2. On GitHub, search your repos for QA failed comments — fixes that came back.
  3. On Reports, filter to the tester source to read what testers reported.
