Record Your Actions

Google has a recorder in developer console. It allows you to name recordings and replay them or export them.

There are GitHub repositories that can convert those recordings exported to just about any test runner. Test runners can run more than tests they can automate tasks, they can be leveraged to scrape data, or improve data or markup.

You can change the values you record and make them parameters. You can also give any parameters a dynamic default.

Every operating system has the ability to schedule an automated task.

There are many possibilities you can do with the above information.

This is just a fun little post as I wait for an invite only hackathon to start, where I am leading a team, I have never met before and we are going to use the recorder, utilizing an org's templates to inject environment variable conditionals, to do something pretty cool.

While my team I never met, I wrote a proposal, and I fielded the largest team. Some of them reached out as they didn't quite understand what I was pitching but we are also going to be utilizing DOM Mutation API.

So layering:

• recorded user flow tests
• DOM mutation listeners
• micro targeted test injections

We will take a big step forward to solving a pervasive problem among software developer community, lack of SME, and lack of quality automation that scales.
