Create image-based TestSteps

With the Recorder, you can create TestCases quickly and easily.

With the Recorder, you can create a control by capturing an image in Create Image Based TestStep Mode. Tosca Commander can use this control to identify and steer screen objects. When this control is steered, the system searches for the image by using the ActionMode Input. You can change the ActionMode later on in the TestStep.
