Recording Test

To create a test using Softfactory, you first need to access the relevant webpage and record your operational steps.

When you record a test, Softfactory converts each operation into a test step and displays it on the Softfactory visual editor screen. You can now run the test as is, simply to verify if the same series of operations can be effectively repeated. You can also use the visual editor to perform the following operations to complete the test:
