Vlado Pakan commented on JBIDE-12434:
-------------------------------------

Yes something like that. For SWTBot tests it's implemented in our JUnit runner and is enabled via system property swt.bot.test.record.screencast. File name is name of class containing test and location is in subdirectory screencast at the same place where SWTBot creates subdirectory for screenshots created by SWTBot when test fails.

I don't know how to implement in for non SWTBot tests would be better if somebody who is writing these test will take care about it.

Be careful with naming of screencast file in case developer uses setUp() and tearDown() method. When test class contains more than one test method these methods are called twice so if the name of screencast file will be class name then only one screencast file will be created and will contain only last test from test class.
