You can play back all your recorded actions, such as starting an
application, the actions you perform, and stopping the application. There
are several prerequisites to meet before you can reliably play back a script
Before you begin
To ensure that the script runs smoothly, perform the following prerequisites
before playing back your script:
- Add sleep timers to the script if your host application has windows that
take an abnormally long time, or your network connection is slow. Sleep timers
cause the play engine to pause before sending input to the host or before
trying to perform a test on the slow host window.
- Your actions, such as typing, clicking the mouse, and pressing buttons,
are recorded into the script. If you have interacted with the host application
prior to the host application being initialized, see Interacting
with the host using the keyboard.
- If your host application uses keys other than the function keys to cause
the host window to change, Functional Tester might
not recognize the keys as host aid keys. For more information, see Using
host key aids.
