RolesTab is an open-source desktop browser that lets developers and QA engineers test web applications with multiple isolated user-role sessions in a single window. Every tab has its own independent cookies, storage, and authentication, making it easy to test admin, manager, customer, and other roles simultaneously without juggling multiple browsers or profiles.
Hey everyone! 👋
RolesTab started from a problem I kept running into while building and testing web applications.
Whenever I needed to test different user roles like Admin, Manager, Support, Customer, or Vendor. I found myself opening multiple browser windows, constantly logging in and out, or juggling different browser profiles. It worked, but it quickly became frustrating, especially when testing complex workflows between users.
At one point, I had five browser windows open just to test a single feature. After a few days of working like that, I thought, there has to be a better way.
So I built RolesTab.
The idea is simple: each tab has its own isolated session, so you can stay logged into different accounts at the same time, all within a single browser window. No more logging out. No more separate browsers. No more losing context while testing.
I originally built it for myself, but after sharing it with a few colleagues, I realized this wasn't just my problem. Other developers and QA testers were dealing with the exact same pain.
This is the first public release, and there's still a lot I'd love to improve. Your feedback will help shape where RolesTab goes next.
If you spend your day testing applications with multiple user accounts, I'd love to hear:
What does your current workflow look like?
What's the biggest frustration you face when testing multiple roles?
What feature would make RolesTab even more useful for you?
Thanks for checking it out, and I can't wait to hear what you think! 🚀
This looks really handy for testing role-based flows, honestly something I've wanted for a while. One thing that would make it even better: a quick "switch all tabs to user X" button, so when you change test data in the admin tab you can instantly reload the other tabs as the same updated user instead of logging in each one manually.
