Record messages

With the OSV Web UI, you can record the traffic between your system under test (SUT) and a real service.

OSV records the requests and responses they exchange and allows you to work with these messages. For example, you can export them to Tricentis Tosca or use them to create Scenarios.

Access the Recording tab

To record and work with recorded messages, you have to access the Recording tab.

To do so, follow the steps below:

1. On the Environment tile, click Open.

2. Click the Recording tab.

Alternatively, click anywhere on the Environment tile to open it and then click the Recording tab.
