1. Overview

You can record a video for a test scenario using this feature. To use this feature, you must enable the option in the Application Settings File. For example, in Mobile App Automation using Python Appium, when a test fails, the video recording feature provides a view of the test execution. This allows testers to observe the events that occurred during the test and helps to identify the cause of the failure.

2. Configure Application Settings File

Perform the following:

1. Scripts generated follow an organized folder structure. Search and locate the ApplicationsSettings.XML file. Copy and paste the ApplicationsSettings.XML file to the location where POM and Report.exe files are located.
2. In the ApplicationSettings file, update the 'To email',  'From Email' and 'From Password' parameters with the appropriate details. Note that the preceding details must be added manually. You can find Applications.XML file available at - ScriptGeneration_202310311222 (2).zip\AlgoAFScript_202310311222\src\test\java.
