In the Test Development Phase, you play back scripts to
verify that they work as intended, using the same version of the application-under-test
that you used to record. This phase validates the expected behavior
of the application.
The test development phase consists of six steps:
- Restore the test environment and set the playback options.
- Play back each script against the same version of the application-under-test
that was used for recording to verify that the script performs as
intended.
- Analyze the results in the Functional Tester log.
- Use the Functional Tester Verification Point Comparator to determine
the cause of verification point failures.
- If the script fails, edit, debug, or re-record it so that it
runs as required.
