Nice To Have: Compare 2 recordings #26

Open admitt opened 6 years ago

It should be nice to have a feature which would allow to compare recordings.

Situation : You have a very complicated application where a call of some REST service method produces > 5k calls; this cannot be processed by an average human being

Issue: Different set of parameters produces different results

Solution: Record the method executions with different parameters, compare the flow and highlight the areas where the flow is different; NB - there is only one thread so the execution is sequential.

It's a great suggestion!

That way we could compare the same scenario with different inputs (as you suggested) or the same scenario across different versions. For example, if a test fails, we could compare its recording with the recording of the same test in a previous version (the last time it succeeded).

Finding a way to represent the comparison seems pretty tricky when looking at this attempt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x2mOsf_fjU

But maybe we can come up with something simpler...
