Test Case Generator Recorder — Prerequisites

Note

The Test Case Generator Recorder is used for Web and Mobile projects. API projects use Upload Contracts instead.

The Test Case Generator Recorder is a tool that captures user interactions with your web application and automatically generates page metadata. It opens a Chromium browser where you interact with your application naturally — all clicks, navigation, and form inputs are recorded and packaged into a zip file for import into Test Case Generator.

System Requirements

  • Windows — the recorder ships as a run.bat launcher and is run from PowerShell.

That is the only requirement. You do not need to install Python, uv, or Chromium yourself — the recorder installs everything it needs on its first run.

Getting the Recorder

Download it from Downloads in Test Case Generator, where you will always get the current version.

The download is a zip containing three files:

  • caserunner_recorder-<version>-py3-none-any.whl — the recorder package
  • run.bat — the launcher you actually run
  • README.txt — a short reference, including troubleshooting

Setup Instructions

  1. Unzip the folder anywhere on your system (the Desktop is fine).
  2. Keep all three files together in the same folder — run.bat looks for the .whl beside it.

There is no install step.

What happens on the first run

The first run takes a few minutes while the recorder sets itself up: it installs uv if you do not have it (into your user profile, so no administrator rights are needed), downloads its own private copy of Python 3.13, and downloads Chromium. Later runs start in a couple of seconds.

If the uv install step runs, close PowerShell and open it again before your next run so the new command is found.

Next Step

Setup & Recording — run the recorder.
