Recording
It is possible to automatically generate Teststeps by creating a recording. MTA bases these Teststeps on intercepted user actions that are executed on an Application Instance.
Recording user actions only works on Apps created in Mendix 9 LTS and Mendix 10 LTS versions.
Properties
Max. duration recording (s)
The number of seconds that MTA will intercept user actions before the recording times out.
Max. number of recorded actions
The maximum number of intercepted user actions to store in MTA.
Business rules
- If the recording times out, no Teststeps will be created.
- If more user actions are intercepted than the set maximum, Teststeps will be created based until the maximum is reached.
Note that one recorded action can lead to zero or many Teststeps, and that the 'Max. number of recorded actions' is not the same as the maximum number of created Teststeps.
