Recording Video of Test Executions

Recording Video of Test Executions Overview

Functionize offers users the ability to record videos of test executions, which can be helpful when debugging test cases. This option must be enabled on a per-test basis under the Test Settings. Once enabled, on-demand executions of the test on any enabled browser will record videos for visual debugging efforts.
