Recording mode lets you interact with the device in the test editor and automatically generate test steps from your actions. Instead of writing steps manually, just do the thing and Revyl writes the steps for you.Documentation Index

How to Record
- Open a test in the test editor
- Make sure the device is connected
- Click the Record button
- Interact with the device: tap buttons, type text, swipe, navigate
- Click Stop when you’re done
Reviewing Generated Steps
After recording stops, a review panel appears with the generated steps. For each step you can:- Change the step type (instruction, validation, manual)
- Edit the description
- Delete steps that aren’t needed
Recording vs Session Compile
Both features turn device interactions into test steps, but they work in different contexts:| Recording | Session Compile | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | Inside the test editor | From the sessions history |
| When | While building a test | After an exploratory session |
| Result | Steps added to current test | New test or module created |
| Scope | Short, focused interactions | Full sessions or time ranges |
Tips
- Keep recordings short and focused on a single flow. It’s easier to record login, then record checkout, than to record everything at once.
- The AI works best when your actions are intentional. Avoid aimless scrolling or backtracking during a recording.
- You can record multiple times and build up a test incrementally.
