Recording Test Scripts

Go Test It includes a unique test recorder. To create a test script, install the test recorder as a Firefox extension, open your web application, and manually test one of your site’s features. The recorder tracks which links you click and what you type.

The Go Test It test recorder uses the page structure (DOM), not the pixel position of a click. For example, when a link is clicked, it might be identified by its anchor text, its element ID, a CSS selector or an XPath expression.

Test more in less time

With the test recorder you don’t need programming skills to create automated test scripts. And if you do enjoy writing code, you’ll find it much faster to use the recorder than to write scripts by hand.

If your QA team is currently testing your site by hand, the recorder enables you to build an automated test suite without changing your workflow. Automate the repetitive testing tasks to accelerate release cycles and get more done in less time.

Convert recordings or run them directly

Any scripts created with the recorder can immediately be tested on different browsers in our hosted infrastructure.

We think our test recorder is pretty good, but it’s not the last word in creating test scripts. For advanced testing needs, you can convert your recorded script into Ruby or Python in one click so that you can use to all the familiar language features.
