Getting started

When you start recording a test, a remote browser running your application will be initiated for you to interact with. Once the browser is ready, you can start interacting with your application and Carbonate will automatically record your actions and convert them into steps in your test.

Automatic step detection

When an action is detected, the recorder will automatically convert your action into a human-readable description. Once it has created a human-readable description, it will proceed to verify it against your application — ensuring that Carbonate can understand and execute the step correctly. This process may repeat several times until a reliable step description is generated.

On the rare occasion, the recorder may not be able to automatically describe your action. In these cases, you will be prompted to manually describe the action.
