Cloud Recorder ​

The Cloud Recorder allows you to record and execute test scenarios directly from the browser, without installing any local software. You can create, run, and review tests fully within the cloud environment.

Important

Each Cloud Recorder session is limited to 30 minutes. A countdown timer is displayed at the top of the screen during the session.
