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.

​
How to Record

  1. Open a test in the test editor
  2. Make sure the device is connected
  3. Click the Record button
  4. Interact with the device: tap buttons, type text, swipe, navigate
  5. Click Stop when you’re done
Revyl captures your actions during the recording window and sends them through the AI compile pipeline. After a few seconds, you get a set of generated steps.

​
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
When you’re happy with the result, click Add to test to insert the steps into your test at the current position. You can also Save as module to reuse the recorded flow.

​
Recording vs Session Compile

Both features turn device interactions into test steps, but they work in different contexts:
RecordingSession Compile
WhereInside the test editorFrom the sessions history
WhenWhile building a testAfter an exploratory session
ResultSteps added to current testNew test or module created
ScopeShort, focused interactionsFull 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.
