Record or generate automation you own

There are two honest ways to get an automated test, and AxonQA gives you both. You can record a real flow by clicking through it in the browser, or explore the application first and have Axon generate automation for a test case from the captured pages, journeys and locators. Either way, what you get out is not a locked recording trapped in a tool. It is maintainable, structured code you can read, extend, keep, and take with you when you migrate off the platform.

Record a flow, or generate from explored evidence

Recording is the fastest start when the flow already works: open the recorder, walk through the journey once, and the actions and the elements you touched are captured as you go. Generation starts from an explored session: choose a test case and Axon combines its steps and expected results with the real pages, journeys and locators already captured from the app. Most teams use both, recording flows that are quick to demonstrate and generating the ones that are tedious to click through.

Page objects, so the automation stays maintainable

The output is structured the way a careful engineer would structure it. Pages become page objects that hold their own locators and actions, and tests read as short sequences that call those objects instead of repeating selectors everywhere. When a button moves, you fix it in one page object and every test that uses it is fixed. That structure is the difference between automation you can live with for years and a pile of brittle scripts you rewrite every quarter.

It is your code, and you can take it

• Request a migration and our team hands you the whole framework to run wherever you like; it is not locked to us.
• Read and edit it like any codebase, because that is what it is.
• Extend it with your own helpers, fixtures, and cases as the app grows.
• Keep locators chosen from real, stable attributes your app exposes, not guesses.

Grounded, validated, and ready to heal

Because the automation is built from your real application rather than from a prompt, it starts on solid ground: the pages exist, the elements are found the way they are actually identified, and every generated test is validated with a real run before you rely on it. The same grounding pays off later. Because the test was built from your real application rather than from a guess, a break is far easier to resolve without starting the guessing over. Automation you own, built from facts about your app, is automation that keeps working.

Recording and generating are not rivals; they are two doors into the same result, maintainable automation that is genuinely yours. Capture the flow or draft it from your cases, review the code, and extend it as your product grows. The tool gets you started quickly, and then it gets out of the way, because the automation belongs to you.
