Creating a Login Test

If you have a web app that requires logging in, your first test should be a Login test.

After creating the login test, you can re-utilize that test to prevent you from logging in each time you need to record a new test. You can either define the test to be used by default when you record subsequent tests, or manually assign it to one or more tests.

To Create a Login Test

  1. Select the Preflight Recorder extension from the browser's extensions menu.
