Security & data handling
WebSureQTool is a desktop application that runs on your Windows machine. Your test content lives in a local workspace and stays there. This page explains, plainly, what stays local and the few things that connect to the internet — so you can review it before you adopt the tool.
What stays on your machine
WebSureQTool does not upload your test content. These artifacts are written to your local workspace and remain under your control:
Test suites
Your suite.yaml files and reusable page metadata.
Datasets
Your CSV / JSON data files used for data-driven runs.
Run histories
Past executions and their status, stored locally.
Evidence & reports
report.html, junit.xml, run.json, logs, and screenshots.
Exported code
Java / C# code you generate is written to your disk.
Your workspace
Projects and configuration live in your local workspace folder.
What connects to the internet — and why
To be transparent: WebSureQTool is local-first for your test content, but a few things do reach the internet. Here is the complete list.
Sign-in & subscription
WebSureQTool signs you in with Microsoft or Google (through our identity backend) to verify which plan you are on. This is used to check entitlements — it does not send your test suites, datasets, or results. The app can run within an offline grace period between checks.
Update checks
Direct installs check GitHub Releases about once a day to tell you when a newer version is available. Nothing downloads or installs without your explicit consent, your current version is backed up first so you can revert, and you can skip a version or turn the check off entirely. Microsoft Store installs update through the Store instead.
The websites you test
When you run a suite, WebSureQTool drives a local browser (Chrome or Edge via Selenium WebDriver) against the URLs in your suite — the same sites you would open yourself. That traffic goes directly from your machine to those sites.
This website
websureqtool.com uses Vercel Analytics for aggregate, cookieless page metrics. This applies to the marketing website only — not to the desktop application or your test data.
