Coded UI Test – Tip of the Day#6 – See the recorded steps and delete redundant actions

You can click the “Show Recorded Steps” button to see all actions performed during the current recording session.

 

 

This dialog can then be pinned. You can then resume recording and all actions can be seen in this dialog. When focus moves away from this dialog, it becomes semi-transparent to allow you to see the regions of the application under test under this dialog.

 

It is possible to multi-select actions [Ctrl+Click] in this dialog and delete them. e.g:- In the screen above the ‘Mouse Hover’ action is redundant and can be deleted. It is your responsibility to ensure the validity of the recording after deleting steps.
