Recording Guidance

For maintainable scenarios:
  • Keep workflows focused.
  • Use stable selectors.
  • Use condition-based waits.
  • Use predictable test data.
  • Start from a known state.
  • Validate the actual business outcome.
Avoid relying on visual position, generated selectors, or unnecessary fixed delays.

​
Credentials and Sensitive Data

Do not record or embed:
  • Real-user passwords
  • API keys
  • Access tokens
  • Customer information
  • Payment information
  • Confidential production data
Use dedicated synthetic accounts and your approved credential-management mechanism.

​
Validate

Confirm:
  • The Engine can reach the application.
  • Browser and driver versions are compatible.
  • Authentication succeeds.
  • The scenario does not depend on an existing local browser session.
  • Expected outcomes are validated.
  • Test data is cleaned up where required.
  • Failure alerts reach the appropriate team.
