Practical tips

  • Record one clear flow at a time; use Record More on an existing testcase to append another segment.
  • Avoid extra clicks and navigation noise; delete or disable unwanted steps after you stop recording.
  • Stop recording before you review and Save—confirm steps stopped streaming in the left panel.

Expected outcome

A Web testcase with recorded steps and actions is saved and ready to execute with a test run config.
