## Testing File Downloads

QA.tech's agent can test file download functionality in your web applications. When a file download is triggered during a test, the agent will:

1. Detect the download event
2. Wait for the download to complete
3. Verify the file was downloaded successfully
4. Show a success message with the file details

To test file downloads just write the test like you normally would and the agent will handle the rest.
For example *Click the export button* will automatically download the file and verify it was downloaded successfully.
