Manual Executor
Overview
The Manual Executor is a powerful service designed to streamline and automate the process of executing tasks manually. It accepts a URL as input and allows users to specify a sequence of steps to be performed, such as clicking on a login button or entering a username in a text field. By delineating and executing these steps one at a time as given, the Manual Executor performs the actions live, internally identifying the necessary locators to interact with various web elements. This real-time step-by-step execution not only provides users with a visual confirmation of each step but also generates a comprehensive functional script that can be seamlessly exported into Qyrus testing platform.
Problem-Solution Fit 🔐
We can use Manual Executor when we have a set of predefined manual steps. Here Manual steps refer to the specific actions that a user would typically perform while navigating through a application. These steps may include actions such as clicking buttons, filling out forms, selecting options from dropdown menus, and more.
When to use ❓
When you need to automate repetitive web tasks quickly.
When you require visual confirmation of each step in real-time.
When the user steps sequence is explicit and well-defined.

Limitations
While the Manual Executor is a powerful tool, there are limitations you should be aware of:
Iframe Handling: If the elements reside within iframes and these iframes are compressible or vary from browser to browser, the Manual Executor might not correctly identify the locators, leading to incorrect executions.
📝 Note
Icons without any information on the screen require the user to accurately provide the location and name of the icon in the steps.
For Example: If we have an icons like below, there is no specific info about it on screen.
