PawClaws: Record and Playback Mouse Interactions on Websites
PawClaws is a Chrome add-on that allows users to record and play back mouse interactions on websites. Developed by daniel.a.friedrich, this free software is a port of the open-source software PawJS developed by Workiva.
With PawClaws, users can record mouse events and simulate touch gestures on a web page, making it a useful tool for testing mobile functionality without the need for a physical device. The software is easy to install from the Chrome Web Store and does not require any coding knowledge.
One of the key advantages of PawClaws is its simplicity and ease of use. Recorded scripts can be easily shared and there is no need for a login or user account. Additionally, PawClaws runs entirely within the local browser, ensuring privacy and security.
However, it is important to note that PawClaws is designed for small scripts and repetitive gestures. Scripts cannot span synchronous server communications, although they can be combined for more complex interactions.
Overall, PawClaws is a convenient and user-friendly tool for recording and playing back mouse interactions on websites, particularly for testing mobile functionality.
