How Extensions Work

Extensions are modular components that can be added to your TestBeats configuration to enhance the information displayed in your notification targets. They work by:

1. Processing test data - Extensions analyze your test results and extract relevant information
2. Enriching reports - They add context, metadata, and visual elements to your reports
3. Enhancing notifications - Extensions can modify how information is presented in Slack, Teams, and other targets
