testgrinder service will be discontinued on January 31, 2025
Since testgrinder can record a video of each of the scenarios it executes, you may use it as a tool to develop training videos. We provide several steps that help you annotate your videos by projecting onscreen messages that get recorded in the video.
Here's an example of a scenario using onscreen messages:
Scenario: How to create an asset and activate it
Given I display the following onscreen message in the middle of the screen:
"""
How to create a new asset and activate it
"""
And I wait for the onscreen message to disappear
And I login to Maximo as User
Then I display the following onscreen message at the bottom of the screen:
"""
Navigate to the Assets application
"""
And I go to the Assets / Assets application
And I wait for the onscreen message to disappear
Then I display the following onscreen message at the bottom of the screen:
"""
Click the New Asset toolbar button to create the asset.
Enter its description.
Save the asset.
"""
And I click the 'New Asset' toolbar button
And I enter 'Test Asset' in the description field of the Asset field
And I successfully save the record
And I wait for the onscreen message to disappear
Then I display the following onscreen message at the bottom of the screen:
"""
Choose Change Status action.
Select New Status: Active.
Click the OK button.
"""
And I select action 'Change Status'
And I select Active in the dropdown list for the 'New Status' field
And I click the OK button
And I wait for the onscreen message to disappear
Then I display the following onscreen message at the bottom of the screen:
"""
Confirm the status is ACTIVE
"""
Then I see the value ACTIVE in the Status field
And I wait for the onscreen message to disappear
And I logout
Run it to generate the video. Then you can either download the video and host it yourself, or share the run in testgrinder, which will provide you with a link to it. While sharing, you may choose to hide the steps on the shared run report, which will also cause testgrinder to start video playback when a visitor comes through the link:
Here's the link to the run, this is what people you share the link with will see:
