Important points when creating [Scenarios]

Autify creates a new environment for each test execution, and each new environment is deleted when the test has completed. You cannot transfer cache, cookies, etc. to another test, but you can configure them using a [JS Step].
For a stable parallel execution, please create a [Scenario] that can be executed repeatedly.
For example, in a [Scenario] for checking whether user registration can be done successfully, it may fail if the [Scenario] only includes user registration. This is because the user ID/email address was registered in a previous test.
- In this case, there are two possible solutions:
  - Make sure that the user ID/email address is a unique value each time.
  - Record steps to delete the registered user's account in the [Scenario]. This way, no user account is registered to that user ID/email address each time the test is executed.

Frequently requested features

Item	Status	Notes
Switching tabs and windows	Supported	See Steps to open and switch windows.
Downloading files	Supported	See Can I test file downloads?.
ENTER key input	Partially Supported	・Only the `<input>` element is supported. ・The `<textarea>` element is designed to accept strings with line breaks, so pressing the Enter key within the `<textarea>` is not recorded as a separate step in the recording process; it is assumed to be part of the input string. ・Since iOS real devices are not supported, please address this by using button clicks or a JS step as a substitute for the Enter key. ・See here for information on how to simulate pressing the ENTER key using a JS step.
Operating and testing Shadow DOM elements	Partially Supported	Only possible if the `mode` option is `open`.
Operating and testing in SVG	Partially Supported	Recording actions taken on an SVG element will result in the parent element of the SVG element being recorded; adding locators and assertions on SVG elements and their child elements are supported.
Operating and testing in iframe	Partially Supported	・Operations on elements within nested iframes cannot be recorded. ・Testing for elements in cross-origin iframes is not supported in the real iOS environment. ・If a CORS error occurs when obtaining an element in an iframe by a JS step, the element cannot be obtained or manipulated by a JS step.
Passing automated access detection systems such as reCAPTCHA and puzzle authentication	Unsupported	・There may be a debug mode available. ・Autify cannot answer questions about authentication systems, so please check the specifications of the authentication system you are using. ・To allow Autify access, you will need to make changes on the website under test - for example, make it so that Google Authentication is not required for Autify. ・You can read more about reCAPTCHA here.
