Record & Replay is designed to bridge the gap between manual and automated testing.
Getting Started with Record & Replay is very easy. No need to hassle with complex languages & frameworks to build an automated script. Record a script by simply clicking through browser actions & we will do the rest.
Provide a URL and with a few clicks, you can create an automated script with no coding required.
Once you enter a URL, (optional: pick a resolution) and click Record Script. A recorded VNC session will begin and we will load your URL into the remote browser. Once the site loads, you will see the Script Steps being recorded in the top left corner (see diagram below).
Note: Every browser action you take will add a recorded step in your script. (Scroll/Click/Type/etc..)
For best results, make intentional browser actions. The tool will record everything.
Record & Replay – Recording Tools
When recording automated tests, it’s helpful to verify element properties to keep visual consistency across different browsers. Using the script recording tools, powerful commands and checks can be added to make these tasks painless & easy.
