I'm using Selenium Java WebDriver to automate UI tests. It works fine but it doesn't show the mouse pointer as it performs actions like clicking on a button. How can I make the mouse pointer visible as it moves on the page and clicks on a button?

You can highlight the elements that you are interacting with usings JS.

    String jsSyyle = "'3px solid red'";
    WebElement element; 
    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
    js.executeScript("arguments[0].style.border=" + jsSyyle, element);

The way to do that is with Actions see documentation.

For example:

Actions action = new Actions(webdriver);
WebElement myElement = webdriver.findElement(By.xpath("the/xpath/to/element"));
action.moveToElement(myElement).click().build().perform();

Hope this helps you!
