Automation: Selenium Script to record Automation Test and Execution Video

Here we go, Selenium Screen Recorder: How To Record Selenium Test Execution Video

Video Recording using selenium script

By using  Monte Screen Recorder API we record of our test cases as video format.

Monte Screen Recorder API available as Maven Dependencies where we can add in our POM.xml file as dependency tag.

How to Implement in our project :

We have one Java File of Recording screen functionality written and have attached as java file name as 'MyScreenRecorder.java' file

This 'MyScreenRecorder.java' file is the base function and we can use the method as 'MyScreenRecorder.startRecording("yourtestcase_recording")' in our own test case file.

For Example : Your Java file has the navigation function and if you want to record some scenarios, then we can use the method as 'MyscreenRecorder.startRecording' to start record and 'MyScreenRecorder.stopRecording' to stop the record.

@Test
public void navigation() throws Exception{

MyScreenRecorder.startRecording("Navigation_recording");

/*
                       your code goes here
                */
               MyScreenRecorder.stopRecording();

}

That's simple, your test case got recorded and saved in separate folder.

Results:

Here I have attached the screen recorder java file and ran for navigation from google to contus and from amazon to flipkart.

Test Execution got recorded and video got saved. 

Video Recording in selenium script1

                                         

Video Recording in selenium script2

Full Script from the scrap and want to import in your project. 

Here is the Github URL 

https://github.com/naveenanimation20/ScreenRecorder

By using this feature we can create AVI/Mp4 recording video files for your test case execution, which can be shared to developers while logging the bugs.
