Recordings (beta)

Use Chrome DevTools to record your interactions and import them into your scenarios. Transform recorded scripts into step-by-step test scenarios, making your web testing more accurate and efficient.

It is an advanced feature of DogQ that allows you to import steps to your Scenario using Chrome DevTools. Please keep in mind, that the Recorder is at a beta testing stage right now and may not always produce correct results. Let us know at [email protected] if any of your particular recordings don't work as expected, we are constantly improving this feature based on your feeback.

Why use Recorder to create test?

It is a powerful and more fluid way to create tests right in your browser and it’s a Chrome built-in feature available to everyone.

To use it:

1. go to the web page you're testing.

2. open Developer tools.

3. switch to Recorder tab.

4. start a session.

I don't have a Recorder tab. What should I do?

Recorder tab should be opened by default, along with tabs like Console and Elements. But if it isn't you can find it in the full list of Chrome tools.

Click on DevTools Controls > More tools > Developer Tools > Recorder.

When you start a recording session, the tool is going to record your every action, be it a click on an element, a value typed in or a change of URL. When you finish interacting with the site, you stop the recording and save the script in your system. To use the recording with DogQ, please, export as a Puppeteer script.

Once you've exported the file, inside DogQ Test Editor you can use the button to turn your recorded script into a step-by-step Test Scenario.
