Run Scenario (Playback)
After recording steps in the AI Recorder, use Run Scenario (Playback) to make sure the flow works as expected. Playback verifies step order, logic, and execution before generating code. This ensures your test is stable and accurate.
You can run a scenario in three ways:
Run End-to-End
Run the entire scenario from start to finish.
- Pause the recorder.
- Click the Run button.
- The browser reloads and executes all steps sequentially.
Use this option to confirm:
- The scenario follows the correct flow
- Steps are in the right order
- Logic is consistent
- All actions run without errors
Example Use Case
You record a login and checkout flow. Use Run End-to-End to verify that logging in, adding items to the cart, and completing the order works as expected.
Run From a Specific Step
Start playback at a chosen step instead of the beginning.
NOTE
Ensure the application (Chromium window) matches the expected state for the starting step. Otherwise, the scenario may fail due to missing context.
How to run from a step:
Hover over the step.
Click the ⋮ (three-dot menu). Select Run from this step.
Playback begins at the chosen step and continues to the end.
Example Use Case
You already know login works. Start playback from the "Add to Cart" step to test cart and checkout without repeating login steps.
Run Until a Specific Step
Execute the scenario from the beginning but stop after a selected step.
How to run until a step:
Hover over the step.
Click the ⋮ (three-dot menu). Select Run until this step.
Playback starts from the first step and stops right after the chosen step.
Example Use Case
You suspect the login process has an issue. Use Run until this step to run all login steps and stop right after login confirmation.
After Running a Scenario
When playback finishes, you can:
- Return to Recording Mode to continue adding steps
- Or proceed to save the test
NOTE
Running a scenario does not overwrite recorded steps. You can play it as many times as needed before generating code.
Best Practices
TIP
- Always run your scenario end-to-end once before saving or generating code.
- Use "Run from this step" for debugging and speed when testing later flows.
- Use "Run until this step" to isolate and troubleshoot specific issues.
- Validate step order and parameter values during playback.
- Rerun playback after editing steps to confirm stability.
