Getting Started - Part I

New to SeeTest? It will take you 2 min to create your first test script, by simply recording it.

NOTE: THE SCRIPT YOU RECORD CAN LATER ON BE EDITTED

(please refer to the Edit section in the manual for instructions how to edit).

To record a test on a mobile phone, follow the steps below:

Step 1: To start recording a script on a mobile device, you need to have your mobile device connected by USB to your computer and have the device screen then appear on your computer screen (for device connectivity instructions please follow our Connect Device instructions in this manual).

Rounded Rectangular Callout: The mobile device should be connected by USB to your computer and you should see the device screen appear on your computer screen…

Step 2: In SeeTest, go to the Script tab and click on the Record button.

Rounded Rectangular Callout: Click on the Record button.

Step 3: Go to the device screen appearing on your computer screen, and do the exact sequence of actions you want in the test.
