# Your first UI test

> Record and run a browser test in minutes

# Your first UI test

UI tests record your browser interactions and replay them automatically. No code needed — just click through your app.

## Prerequisites

* A TestBrick account
* The [TestBrick Chrome Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore) installed

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a UI test">
    In your project folder, click **+** and select **UI Test**. Give it a name like "Login Flow".
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start recording">
    Click the **Record** button. The Chrome extension will start capturing your browser actions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Interact with your app">
    Navigate to your app and perform the actions you want to test:

    * Click buttons
    * Fill in forms
    * Navigate between pages
    * Upload files

    Each action is captured as a test step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Stop recording">
    Click **Stop Recording** when you're done. Your test steps appear in the step list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run your test">
    Click **Run Test** to replay your recorded steps. TestBrick executes each step in a real browser and reports the results.
  </Step>
</Steps>
