Record Hover Actions ​

Hover actions let you test dynamic interactions such as dropdown menus, tooltips, or elements that only appear when a user hovers over them. With the AI Recorder, these actions can be recorded and included in your test scripts.

  4. Continue recording your scenario.
    To create a nested hover (hover within a hover), re-enable Hover Mode and click the next element.

  5. Run the scenario to check that hover actions behave as expected.

  6. When finished, Generate code and save your recording.

Best Practice

  • Keep scenarios simple to minimize maintenance.
  • Validate your test after recording since hover behaviors can vary across browsers.
