Introduction

Functionize sends out splash notifications to inform users about new release versions, improvements, bug fixes, and any additional information related to the Functionize platform. These notifications appear on the login page.

Functionize creates tests using a Google Chrome Extension to record your test flows. You can install the Chrome Extension using the following steps:

1. Log into your Functionize account. On the main page, click the Install Plugin link at the top right of the page.
   
   

    

2. Click the Add to Chrome button
   
   

    

3. The Functionize Architect Chrome Extension has now been added to your browser and will automatically update whenever a new version of Architect is released
   
   
   

Functionize Architect:

• • Offers immediate feedback as the tester walks through the test flow by recording interactions with the application under test.
  • All recorded actions become visible steps for the tester to see in the Architect window, except Context Switch actions that are added after the test is saved.

You are now ready to move on to Training Session 1 - Create a Test & Execute.
