1. Open Amazon.in website
2. Click on Sign in. 
3. Enter the password.
4. Click on Sign in button.

To record a scenario, perform the following:

1. To access Record Scenario click on a node in canvas, you'll be directed to Test Design screen and click on Record Scenario.
2. Select the required feature ( Amazon sign in ) and the Node (Sign In) to view all the added UI element details and then arrange all the UI elements in a sequence. For example, if you were performing a Login process, you will select the all the UI elements related to this process in a sequence, such as username, password and Sign in button. You can search for a particular UI element in the Search Control bar.
   
3. Similarly, select all the associated UI elements to create a sequence.
   
   In the Recorded Scenarios window, click Submit to save the recorded scenario. Once the scenario is successfully saved, you will see a 'Scenario created successfully' message. You can reset to the default settings by clicking the Reset button.
   
   
4. You can view the history of a scenario by clicking the Scenario History icon from the Scenario Steps List or Scenarios List. The history displays all actions performed, who performed them, and the date and time. You can use the search field to find specific logs, and apply filters by time (Today, One Week, Custom) and log type (All, Success, Info, Error). Click Apply to activate the selected filters.
   
   

Note: After selecting Select Steps, you can use Master Select to select all steps at once. However, deleting all steps is not allowed because at least one step is required in the scenario steps list, so the delete icon will be disabled. If you unselect one step and then click the delete icon, a confirmation pop-up will appear asking “Do you want to delete multiple scenario steps?”. Click OK to delete the selected steps at once.

If you choose to edit the recorded scenario, then click the edit icon besides the scenario name in scenario List screen. For more information, see Managing Test Cases using Edit Scenario Feature.

Note that you can select multiple UI elements repeatedly in a single workflow.

When entering a value in the custom value and Message fields, adhere to the following: 

• Custom value and message fields cannot be just blank spaces. If you wish to include spaces, you can use the keyword _empty_. For more information, see Keywords used in algoQA. If you leave it blank (spaces without entering anything) in any of the fields, then a error message will be displayed saying you can't add only spaces.
• You can include spaces at the beginning, end, or between words.

Tip: If you wish to generate test cases using Auto Generate Test cases feature instead of Record Scenario feature, see Auto Generate Testcases Feature.
