Smart Recording

Smart Recording in WalnutAI enables you to quickly create automated test cases by capturing application workflows through AI Recording or Manual Recording. It simplifies test automation by allowing you to define or perform a business flow, while WalnutAI converts it into a structured and executable automated test case. The Smart Recording interface provides a flexible recording experience where you can manage test cases, switch test types, select recording modes, and configure recording settings directly from the bottom recording bar.

Recording Modes: Smart Recording offers multiple modes to support different testing requirements. Click AI Recording in the bottom bar to view and switch between the available modes.

• AI Recording: Generate test steps by describing the required application flow using natural-language instructions. WalnutAI understands the instructions, performs the required actions, and generates the corresponding automated test steps. It asks questions or requests additional input whenever necessary to complete the flow.

• AI Recording – Auto: Generate test steps using an autonomous AI-driven approach. WalnutAI explores the application on its own based on the provided instructions, performs the required actions without pausing to ask questions, and generates the corresponding automated test steps.

• Plan: Interact with the AI bot to describe the required testing objective or application flow. WalnutAI analyzes the provided instructions and generates a test plan outlining the recommended approach and steps for testing the flow.

• Healer: Fix or troubleshoot a failing test case by identifying issues in the existing test flow and applying the required corrections.

• Manual Recording: Interact with the application manually while WalnutAI captures the actions performed, including the relevant test steps and parameters, and converts the recorded flow into an automated test case.

Click the Web icon in the bottom bar to select the application type you want to automate. Smart Recording supports multiple application types, including Web, API, Mobile, Mainframe, and SAP.

Before starting a recording, ensure that the Agent is turned on. The Agent enables WalnutAI to interact with the application, process the recording or prompt, and generate the corresponding automated test steps.

WalnutAI also allows you to convert existing manual test cases into automated test cases using Smart Recording. You can assign a manual test case to Smart Recording, after which it appears under the Tasks tab. Select the assigned test case to process it through Smart Recording. The existing manual test steps are then used to generate the corresponding automated test steps.

Use the History button available at the top of the Smart Recording screen to access previous recording sessions. To start a fresh recording session, use the History option to initiate a New Session, ensuring that the new recording starts independently from previous sessions.

Use the + icon in the bottom bar to add existing test cases or custom methods to the current recording session. You can select the required test case or custom method, choose the environment and insertion point, and reuse the existing automation within the current test flow.

Use the Attach button in the chat panel to attach a document or file as additional input for the recording. The attached document can be used by WalnutAI to understand the required flow and generate the corresponding test steps.

Whether you prefer to describe a workflow or interact directly with the application, Smart Recording helps reduce the effort required to build automated test cases while maintaining a structured and reusable test flow.
