1. Overview

If you already have test cases that were not produced by algoQA, you can convert them into scripts that work with the new testing platform. This allows you to migrate test cases from one framework (such as Protractor) to another (like WebDriverIO).

This capability is built into the algoScraper extension. To use it, simply open the algoScraper extension from your browser toolbar.

This feature is especially useful during manual testing, where you can take existing test cases and automatically generate scripts from them.
