You can now record a video of a manual testing session, including all the logs from the device-under-test that you usually expect when using Stb-tester.

Simply click the “Record video” button underneath the live video on the “Manual control” tab of the Stb-tester Portal.

Once it has started recording you can use the remote control as usual. When you are done, click “Stop Recording”, and it will provide a link which you can copy-paste into whichever system you’re using to manage your manual tests.

The link includes the video recording and the logs from the set-top-box itself, which are synchronised with the video. To configure log capture see Configuration Reference: Capturing logs from the device-under-test in the Stb-tester manual.

This new feature has been highly requested by our users. It serves a dual purpose:

• Easily capturing and sharing video recordings of UAT/discovery sessions: helps product owners to understand user behaviour and identify areas for optimisation.
• Automatically capturing ADB logs during manual testing sessions: saves testers’ time and enhances the testing experience.
