When you add a new web test to your project, visual studio will open up Internet Explorer and you should see the web test recorder panel in the browser. You can now go to a web site and start using it just like you normally would, and you will see your action being recorded by the web test recorder. You can pause/stop/delete at any time you feel to.
When you finish performing the action that you wanted to record, click the stop on the web test recorder toolbar and you will be taken back to visual studio and you will see your actions in web test file. As we click the run option it will run the recorded script. As the script runs it detects every individual link and we can see it in the below frame.
RED indicates the test is failed and GREEN represents the test is pass.
