What is Live Interaction?
Live Interaction is a feature introduced within automation testing that allows the user to take control of the session manually. This helps abort the automated test session, debug any exception in real-time, and effectively report a test session.
Why Live Interaction?
- It allows the user to partially interact by clicking a button or filling OS-specific credentials without breaking the currently running automated tests.
- It is a powerful tool to find the root cause of the exception raised during the automated tests and even allow them to debug the exception during the session.
- It works smartly by letting the stakeholders know who has stopped/paused the test, which helps effectively report the issue.
Prerequisites and Limitations
- Live interaction is available on:
- Windows: 11, 10, 8, and 8.1
- macOS: Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura
- All browsers except Safari.
- The user can only interact with the browser for 15 minutes.
