Low Level Recording

Low-level recording in SimplifyQA is an advanced mobile testing feature that captures interactions at the element or coordinate level, rather than relying solely on high-level UI elements. This method is particularly useful when certain elements are not detectable through conventional object recognition methods.

When to use Low-Level Recording?

• When UI elements are not identifiable using XPath or accessibility IDs.

• For gesture-based interactions like drag, swipe, long press, and coordinate taps.

• In hybrid or native mobile apps with complex or dynamic UI components.

• For troubleshooting failed recordings caused by object hierarchy issues.

How it Works

• When recording a test using the SimplifyQA mobile recorder, if the recorder is unable to fetch an element, the user can switche to low-leve recording.

• The recorder will then capture the exact screen coordinates of the tap, swipe, or input action.

• These actions are stored and replayed based on screen coordinates rather than element properties.
