Using the test recorder

elevaite365 provides a built-in recorder that can record a test script from scratch, or add steps to an existing test.

Recording a new test

Navigate into the test script where you want to record the steps.

If the test is empty you'll see a large Start Recorder button. Click it to enable the recorder.

Adding steps to an existing test

If you don't see that option, it means the test already has steps. You must first run your script up to the point where you want to record additional steps. For example, to add steps to the end, run the script in full.

Once it's finished, click the + button at the bottom of the test, or right-click and select Record from here.

With the commands pane open, click Enable Recorder in the top right.

Recording

Once the recorder is enabled, the toolbar appears on the page.

Hovering over fields on the webpage now turns them orange. That indicates interacting with the highlighted area will be recorded as a new step:

• Clicking records a click action
• Typing records a type action

Watch for automatic Navigate steps

As a safety precaution, a Navigate command is added to the test if the system believes a URL change might have been made manually. When you finish recording, it's a good idea to remove any of these that aren't required.

Stopping the recorder

Click Stop Recorder on the steps view, or click the red circle in the toolbar.
