How to use the Recorder panel to record and replay user scenarios?
The Recorder panel in developer tools is designed for recording, replaying, and measuring the performance of user scenarios directly in the browser. It allows you to automate routine checks, such as the authorization process, adding an item to a cart, or filling out complex forms.
To start working with this tool, open the developer console, go to the additional tabs, and select Recorder. If the tab is missing, find it via the command menu by entering the appropriate query. Click the create new recording button and enter a name for your user scenario.
Once recording starts, all your actions on the page, such as clicks, text input, scrolling, and navigation, will be captured as a set of steps. You can stop the recording, add new assertions, change delay parameters, and replay the recorded scenario as many times as needed.
Recorded scenarios can be exported to various automated testing formats or used to analyze the loading performance of a specific user session. This makes the Recorder an excellent bridge between manual testing and automation.
