How to record a session in the Exploratory Testing tool inside an iframe?

The Chrome browser does not record the actions made in different iframes on the same webpage while recording a session with exploratory testing. To record the actions made in iframes with the exploratory testing tool, the chrome browser needs to be run in a security disabled mode as mentioned in the steps below:

1. Find the path of your Chrome installation on your machine.

2. Open a command prompt using the option “Run as administrator”, and navigate to the Chrome installation directory.

   • cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"

3. Execute the below command by replacing the Chrome installation directory in the “your dir“ part.

   • chrome.exe --disable-web-security --user-data-dir="your dir"

   • Example: chrome.exe --disable-web-security --user-data-dir="C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application"

4. Open

   

   This will launch a new session of Chrome that may need re-installing the “QMetry Test Management Exploratory Testing“ extension from the Chrome Webstore.

The same steps have also been provided on the Exploratory Testing tool itself for quick access to the users.
