CAST Extension helps teams prepare and record interactions with web applications for CAST automation workflows. Use the extension to inspect elements on a page, generate selectors, and link them to your application’s element catalog. You can also register applications and pages, review existing elements, and highlight them on the page to identify them more easily. During a recording session, CAST Extension can capture navigation and interactions such as clicks, typing, and hovering over elements. You can also capture new elements while recording and add page or element-group validation actions. These validations record the intent to check something in an automation workflow; they do not execute assertions themselves. Key features: • Capture one element or select multiple elements on a page. • Generate CSS and XPath selectors, and use attributes such as Test ID, name, role, or placeholder when available. • Record navigation and interactions in recording sessions. • Create elements during a recording without activating the captured control as part of that action. • View and highlight registered elements. • Use the extension from the Chrome popup or side panel. The extension requires access to the CAST services configured by your organization. During recording, it may collect interaction data, including values you type. Do not use it with confidential information unless permitted by your organization’s policies. When capturing elements, the extension removes current input field values from snapshots and omits the HTML of elements it identifies as sensitive. A companion extension for teams that build and maintain CAST automations.
