Chrome extension to help with exploratory testing

One of the many interesting announcements at Connect() today was that the new Microsoft Chrome Extension for Exploratory Testing  is  available in the Chrome Store

This is a great tool if you use VSO, sorry VSTS, allowing an easy way to ‘kick the tyres’ on your application, logging any bugs directly back to VSTS as Bug work items.

Best of all, it makes it easy to test your application on other platforms with the link to Perfecto Mobile. Just press the device button, login and you can launch a session on a real physical mobile device to continue your exploratory testing.

Only down side I can see that that, if like me, you would love this functionality for on-premises TFS we need to wait a while, this first preview only support VSTS.
