Record a UI track with the extension

Do a task once in the browser and let {{brand}} turn your steps into a UI Tester track.

In short

Do a task once in your browser and the extension turns your clicks and typing into steps of a UI Tester track. You start and stop the recording from {{brand}}.

Before you start

Who: you need to be able to edit the site's tracks. Only one person can record a track at a time.
Plan: UI Tester is part of every plan.
First: the extension, a site with an environment and at least one allowed origin.

Record a track

Open the track in UI Tester and press "Record". The page checks the extension, the environment where recording starts and the origins it may capture on.
Press "Start recording". It lasts up to 30 minutes, and the page counts down.
Open the site's start page in a tab yourself and do the task once. Each element you act on flashes a red outline.
Press "Stop & review" to see the new steps marked on the track. "Stop" keeps them unmarked; "Stop and delete these steps" throws the recording away.

Good to know

The site needs an environment and at least one allowed origin, and you need to be able to edit its tracks.
Only one person can record a track at a time, and not while a Browser Sync recording is running.
Password fields and fields named like keys, tokens, card numbers or one-time codes become {{secret}}. Everything else is kept as typed, and screenshots show what is visible.

If something goes wrong

The checklist says the extension is missing: install and connect it, then refresh the page.
No steps arrive: you acted on an origin that is not allowed, or in another tab. Add the origin in the site's settings and record again.
Someone else is recording the track: wait until they stop.
