Selenium Record Video with JUnit in Java

In this example we show you how you can record a video of selenium test cases in java. This way you can watch how your selenium tests are performing. If you sun your selenium tests on a selenium grid like sauce labs or browser stack, they provide taking screenshots or making video’s. This tutorial focuses on recording video of selenium tests locally.
