Before you start
You need a work email and a web application you are permitted to test. The Free plan does not ask for a card. It includes 100 recordings, 1,000 API test calls and 10 security scans per month for one user, which is enough to evaluate every module in this guide.
Steps
- Open Sign up and enter your name, work email and a password. If your company domain has SSO configured, you are offered it here.
- Verify your email from the message we send. The link returns you to the app.
- Create a workspace. On the Team plan this is where you will invite up to 15 members later; on Free and Solo Pro it is just yours.
- Open the Test Recorder and enter the URL of the application under test. The crawler maps the pages it can reach and catalogues the elements on each one.
- Start a recording and click through one journey in the real browser that opens, for example sign in, add an item, check out. Every step, selector, network call and assertion is captured as you go.
- Stop the recording and run it. The first replay is your regression baseline. From the same recording you can start a load profile, a security scan and an accessibility audit.
What you have after the first run
Each recording produces seven structured files: session metadata, element details, network data, performance data, security data, UI elements and a rerun definition. Element and request IDs are stable, so a security finding can point at request req_0012 and the replay can point at element elem_0004 without copying either. You can export the recorded flow as Playwright, Cypress or Selenium code at any time.
Where people get stuck
- The application needs a login: record the sign-in steps as part of the flow, or store the session once and reuse it. Auth state persists between recording and replay.
- The page uses a shadow DOM or iframes: recording works, but check the captured selectors on the first replay and approve any heal the review queue proposes.
- You want to test a site you do not own: the security scanner will refuse until ownership is proven. See the security guide for how ownership is verified.
Questions people ask about this
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. Recording, replay and every scan run in the platform. Exported Playwright, Cypress or Selenium code runs wherever you normally run those frameworks.
- Does the free plan expire?
- No. The Free plan has monthly caps, not a time limit. Paid plans include a 14-day trial (30 days on Enterprise) and can be cancelled at any time.
