Export Web Tests

Introduction

You have the option to export your Web Tests in different formats.

1. Executable file

This format allows you to execute the exported test on your own computer, without having to install anything.

The only prerequisite is to have the corresponding webdriver in the same directory as the exported test.

Generating the executable file can take up to 60 seconds.

Steps

  1. Export the test.
  2. Place it in same directory with the corresponding webdriver.
  3. Open the executable.
  4. The test will open the browser and execute the steps.
  5. A new directory is generated which contains the logs and the screenshots.
