Automate your first test

Let's dive into automating your very first test:

1. Create a test from the left panel and give it a friendly name.
2. Choose your recording device for your platform (iOS or Android). This device stays the same across your team, so make sure everyone's on the same page. You can always change this device later in project settings.
3. Click the create button. The simulator device might take a few minutes to boot up for the first time. Its pretty fast next time onwards.
4. Simply interact with your app on the simulator device just as you would manually. Runpad will remember every step you take.
5. You can add validations by right-clicking on any element on any screen, or add steps from the right panel.
6. Hit save.

Hooray! You've just automated your first test. Time to give it a whirl.
