ACCELQ supports recording browser-based tests using the built-in recorder browser. You can configure the recorder in two modes: one with Fluid mode enabled and the other with Fluid mode disabled.
Fluid Mode Recording
When the Recorder is in Fluid mode, you can record by:
- Direct interaction with the elements on the recorder browser, or
- Right-clicking on an element and selecting the operation
Common actions such as typing, clicking, and selecting dropdown options are recorded automatically as you interact with the browser.
Operation such as hover, right-click etc. and verification or synchronization (wait-for) statements are accessed with a right-click on the relevant element in the browser.
This hybrid approach optimally balances efficient recording while avoiding clutter of unneeded statements.
Recorder: Fluid Mode OFF
When the Recorder is NOT in Fluid mode, you can record by:
- Right-clicking on an element and selecting the operation
When the Fluid mode is OFF, element-hover displays identification information about the element.
When you generate a statement from the command menu with a right-click, you have the opportunity to parameterize the inputs directly since you are manually entering the data values, whereas Fluid Recorder automatically populates the typed values in the statement."
Fluid Recording is Smart!
The Fluid recorder intelligently groups related operations, such as "search and select item in dropdown", to streamline your recording.
Following interactions are directly recorded with user actions on the Recorder browser. Everything else is possible with a right-click.
Click on Element | All elements except for Input and Dropdown fields |
Enter text or encrypted text | Input and password fields |
Select item from dropdown | For all supported dropdown types |
Checkbox and radio option selections | For checkboxes and radio butons |
Double click | All elements |
Clear text | Input fields |
Search & Select item in dropdown | Searchable dropdowns |
Click with a modifier key | All combo clicks such as Ctrl, Alt, Cmd, Option Click |
Browser Keyboard Keys | "Enter" and "Esc" only |
Note: Following operations are not recorded in Fluid mode:
Mouse-hover, right-click, Browser operations such as Tab, Backspace, Caps Lock, Delete, Arrow keys, Function keys, Page up and page down.
How do I record in the middle of existing logic?
- By default, recorded statements are appended to the end of the existing logic.
- To control where new recordings are added, create a new statement at the desired line in the logic editor and click the margin area to lock the recording position. This ensures new statements are inserted at the required step in your Action or Scenario.
Turning OFF Recording
- Click the button beside the URL bar in the recorder browser to toggle the recorder on or off.
- When the recorder is off, the recorder browser behaves like a normal browser:
- No actions are recorded, and right-clicks are transferred directly to the browser.
- Allows you to navigate the application freely.
