It’s a new article Tuesday! This time we have an article from @restertest sharing about Playwrights record and playback features:
He also shared other record and playback tools similar to playwright’s recording system so it got me thinking:
What record and playback tools do you use? What do you think of them?
I’ve used a few browser extensions in the past and found them to be useful for exploratory testing activities but less so for automation. But what about you?
I use the one in Azure DevOps sometimes but it does not really add a lot of value. Like, I know what I’m doing anyways… 
I use the SeleniumBase Recorder for generating automated tests as Python scripts.
There’s a YouTube video on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKN5nq7YbdM
It can record most browser actions such as clicks, entering text, drag-&-drop actions, dropdown menu selections, slider control movement, etc. It can also add assertions into code, or switch into an iframe if clicking inside one.

MODERATOR’S EDIT: The person who has posted this works for Royal Cyber.
While using Selenium, I use the Katalon Record and Play extension sometimes.
With playwright, I use its built-in record and play extension.
