Contributing annotations

An annotation is an action that a user performs during a recording session. Annotations are used to document or structure the test generated from the recording.

These annotation types come with the product:

• Insert comment
• Insert screen capture
• Start transaction
• Stop transaction
• Insert Synchronization Point
• Insert Split Point
• Set page name

Extensions can define additional annotation types. To contribute an annotation type:

• Define the new annotation type and its properties.
• Contribute an annotation toolbar with an action that enables inserting the annotation.
• Process the annotation in a test generator.
