We know how to capture a screenshot of your Automated TestCases, How about a video ?? This post helps you to record your screen when you conduct automation test. This is very simple to record/video test cases.It also helps you to debug if any test script went wrong.
Please follow the steps to record your screen
Step 1. You have to download the MonteScreenRecorder.jar from Here.
Step 2. Extract it and add jar to buildpath under your project Also add your selenium required jars. Step 3. Prepare your test cases which needs to be automated.
Step 4. Need to call “screenRecorder.start()” methods at starting of your test scripts and “screenRecorder.stop()” at the end of execution. Just follow the below code for the reference.

That’s it. You will see the video file in your C drive mostly..! You can play it using VLC player.
Where we can see the recorded videos i.e where those videos will be stored ?
Kindly help
Thanks in advance

Is this screen recording or browser session recorder. Will this work when we run tests in parallel?
LikeLike
It will just record your screen.What ever happens while automating,it will capture all the gesture including mouse hovering actions.And also moves of cursor…!

Video is not being recorded if the test case is failed. A blank file is being created in case of failed scenarios
LikeLike
No, The code doesnt work in that way.It will record everything.Code dont even know which are the passed testcases and which are the failed testcases.Maybe your logic went wrong.
LikeLike
for successful Recording you have to stop recorder add screenRecorder.stop() in after method it will work.

This piece of code really helped. Thank you :)

is there a way to capture a browser session ?, to use it when we run tests in parallel .
LikeLike
Generally, this script captures the actions which was going on your desktop. It captures everything you see. So, if your script is to test parallel then it should capture all the actions performed.

i understand , but i don`t want to do this i want to record every browser session it may be 10 browsers at the same time , is there a way to record every browser session ??
LikeLike
No, that’s not possible. I would suggest you to integrate with Browserstack or saucelabs. That will record all the sessions being performed.

Does it work for tests cases running in parallel?

You may not get individual recording on Parallel execution. It will record everything which is on Focus

Also, does it work with Selenium RemoteWebDriver?

Yes, it works on remote as well
