Overview
TestCollab now allows screen recording during test case execution, making it easier to capture clear visual evidence of test results. Testers can record a browser tab, application window, or the entire screen while executing a test case, and the recording is automatically attached to the executed test case as evidence. Audio recording can also be included if enabled by the project administrator.
This feature helps teams improve traceability, reduce ambiguity in test results, and simplify defect analysis by providing rich, visual context for every execution.
Enabling screen recording
Only administrators can enable the screen recording for a project:
Open the project
Go to Settings → General
Click on the toggle button next to Enable screen recordings for test plan run
Optionally, enable Include audio in screen recordings if audio evidence is also required
Save the settings
Once enabled, this setting applies to all the future test executions within the project.
Recording during test execution
When a tester starts executing a test case in a test plan.
A prompt appears asking which screen to record:
A specific browser tab
A specific application window
The entire screen
If audio recording is enabled for project, the tester may also grant microphone access
Screen recording starts automatically once the selection is made
The tester can stop screen sharing manually at any point during execution. If not stopped manually, the recording ends automatically when the tester sets the final status of the test case.
Automatic attachment of recordings
After the test case execution is completed:
The recorded video (and audio, if included) is automatically saved
The recording is attached to the executed test case as evidence
No manual upload or action is required from the tester
This ensures consistent and reliable evidence capture for audits, reviews, and defect discussions.
Key benefits
Eliminates manual evidence recording and uploads
Provides clear visual context for test results
Improves collaboration between QA, developers, and stakeholders
Ensures consistent documentation of test executions
