Sniffer for Azure DevOps
Capture, diagnose, and fix bugs automatically — right inside every Azure DevOps work item.
Sniffer auto-records the full context behind every bug — screen video, console errors, network calls, user actions — and brings it directly into Azure Boards. Open any work item, click the Sniffer tab, and instantly see how the bug happened. Then let AI find the root cause and ship a fix as a draft pull request, without ever leaving Azure DevOps.
Why teams use Sniffer
- No more "can't reproduce" tickets — every bug is captured with a real recording, the exact network traffic, and the precise click sequence that triggered it.
- AI Root Cause Analysis built in — Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini investigate the bug against your real codebase. Compare answers side-by-side, accept the best one.
- One-click Fix & Review — the accepted AI model writes the fix, runs tests, pushes a branch, and opens a draft pull request automatically.
- Lives inside Azure DevOps — no tab-switching, no external dashboard. Everything renders inside the work item form.
What you get on every work item
🎬 Diagnostics
Full session replay plus synced timelines for:
- Console logs (errors, warnings, info)
- Network calls (Fetch / XHR / WebSocket / static assets)
- User actions (clicks, navigation, form input)
- Dependency Graph — interactive React Flow visualization showing how the page's API calls depend on each other
Click any log row to jump the video to that exact moment. Network markers along the seekbar let you see at a glance where every API call fired.
🤖 Root Cause Analysis
Run RCA against your codebase using up to three AI providers in parallel:
- Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, and Google Gemini
- Per-provider status, severity, confidence, and cost
- Sub-tabs for Root Cause / Suggested Fix / Related Issues
- 5-star rating + Accept/Unaccept on the result that nailed it
- Compare mode — cross-provider agreement view so you can see where the models converge and where they disagree
🛠️ Analysis & Fix
The model you accepted writes the fix:
- Creates a fix branch and applies the changes
- Runs tests, surfaces the results inline
- Pushes to your repository and opens a draft pull request with summary, file diff, and remaining risks
- Optional Review phase posts inline review findings as PR comments
Get started
- Click Get it free above and install Sniffer to your Azure DevOps organization.
- Open any work item. You'll see a new Sniffer tab next to Details at the top.
- Sign in to your Sniffer account in the tab.
- Either link an existing Sniffer bug to the work item, or capture a fresh recording from the Sniffer browser extension and attach it to the work item — the Sniffer tab will light up automatically.
You'll need:
- An Azure DevOps Services organization
- A Sniffer account at app.snifferweb.com
- (For RCA and Fix) Configured AI provider keys in your Sniffer workspace
How it works under the hood
- Recording capture runs in the Sniffer browser extension on your customer's screen.
- The recording, logs, and AI analysis live in your Sniffer workspace.
- This Azure DevOps extension is a thin viewer + control surface that talks to Sniffer's APIs from inside the work item iframe — no Azure DevOps data ever leaves your tenant.
Permissions requested at install:
vso.work — read work items so we can match them to the right Sniffer recordingvso.work_write — link Sniffer bug references back onto the work item
