No API keys needed.</p> <p>When it finds bugs, you can either let the built-in Developer agent fix them, or just copy the report and paste it into Claude Code / Codex / Cursor to fix.</p> <h2> Links </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>GitHub:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/gzmagyari/qapanda" rel="noopener noreferrer">github.com/gzmagyari/qapanda</a> </li> <li> <strong>VSCode Marketplace:</strong> <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=qapandaapp.qapanda-vscode" rel="noopener noreferrer">Install QA Panda</a> </li> </ul> <p>Free and MIT licensed.
