Export tests as code in Low Code Automation

Learn how to easily export tests as code in Low Code Automation.

Low Code Automation offers users the ability to export their recorded tests as code. This feature allows you to store tests for future use and easily integrate your tests into other solutions. You can further add custom logic and integrate them into script-based automation tools.

Export test using REST API

Low Code Automation allows you to export your recorded tests as code in the following formats using APIs:

• .side is a Selenium IDE compatible format.
• Nightwatch.js is an integrated framework for performing automated end-to-end testing on web applications and websites, across all major browsers.

To export the test details as code:

1. Retrieve the test ID from Low Code Automation by clicking the Copy test ID button under Configurations section.
2. Alternatively, you can fetch all tests along with their IDs using the Get all recorded tests endpoint.

3. Use the Get test script by ID endpoint to download the test in .side or Nightwatch.js format. For more information, refer to Export tests API.

4. Use the .side format for easy export to multiple languages:
   • C# NUnit
   • C# xUnit
   • Java JUnit
   • JavaScript Mocha
   • Python pytest
   • Ruby RSpec

   For more information, refer to the Selenium IDE Code Export document.

5. Or export the test in the Nightwatch.js framework.

You can also use a ready-to-use shell script to bulk-download .side files and convert them to code in the respective programming languages. For more information, refer to the Bulk export tests page.
