Following are the modes of recording:
-
Native Recording: Recording of steps using NATIVE recognition method (on instrumented mode or non-instrumented mode)
-
Web Recording: Recording of steps using WEB recognition method.
-
Image and Text Recording: Recording of steps using image\Text recognition method.
