Hi @jkswoods.

Great idea! We have two ways how it can be done:

1. Make screenshots on each test action. So you will end up with gif that is composed of discrete static screenshots, like slide show of test state.
2. Record full video, like screencast feature in SauceLabs.

Personally, I prefer first option. With second option you will have huge screencast files after each test run and I'm not sure if we'll be able to capture screen for browser that run in parallel. Please, let me know if it will work for you.

I'll have to agree with you on that one. The first option does seem like the best and will work in my case.

Thanks, @inikulin!
