Overview
This short video covers what changed in the page scripting tool in 2026 release wave 2. The tool lets customers and consultants record and replay user actions directly in the web client, for testing and user acceptance testing. It was launched in preview earlier and is now generally available.
The release adds full localization (steps, error messages and tooltips), recording of multiple row selection in grids for bulk actions, and validation of the text shown in messages or error dialogues. The video closes by mentioning that agents can be used to generate page scripts and run them automatically.
Key points
- Page scripting moves from preview to generally available in 2026 release wave 2.
- The tool records and replays user actions in the web client, aimed at customers and consultants for testing and user acceptance testing.
- All user-facing strings are now translated, including steps, error messages and tooltips; hard-coded strings were updated, and the tool is described as ready for broad production use across all languages.
- A pass was made on accessibility, usability and look and feel.
- Multiple selection in grids can be recorded, so you can select several rows in a list, run bulk actions and replay them.
- You can validate the text of a message or error dialogue during a recording, so the recording acts as a real assertion and not only a sequence of clicks (an error message validation is shown).
- Since launch, it has also become possible to use agents to try to generate page scripts and run them.
