Start the Recorder

With the Recorder, you can create TestCases quickly and easily. You can record a TestCase just by using the application as you normally do. During the recording, you interact with the application, and the Recorder translates your actions into TestCases and corresponding Modules.

This guide explains how to start the Recorder.

Prerequisites

Before you start the Recorder, perform the following actions:

  • Make sure the zoom factor of both your browser and the Windows display settings is set to 100% (default).

  • If you use a multi-user workspace, check out the project root element or required ComponentFolders.

Decide how you want to start the Recorder

You can start the Recorder in one of the following ways:

  • Record automated TestCase

    The Recorder creates Modules and a TestCase based on your recording.

  • Record automated data-driven TestCase

    In addition to Modules and a TestCase, the Recorder creates a TestSheet which contains the generated attributes and instances. Use this option if you want to use the saved recording as a template in your TestCase design.

Start recording automated TestCase

To record automated TestCases, browse to the Home menu and click on the Automated Test Case icon .
