Insertion of recorded segments into existing test scripts

[brs]

In looking through your documentation, I do not think Window Tester currently has the option of adding segments of recorded user action in an existing Java test script. Is this accurate?

If so, are you planning on introducing this functionality at some point in the future?

Thanks,
B.

You are right that this is currently not supported. (Another feature on the list!) That said, while we are considering it, we're not sure it's recommended. The preferred approach is to generate small test pieces that can be refactored into reusable pieces. If you do this, you should never be inserting recorded actions directly into a scenario. Instead, small bits of functionality (e.g, "create a project") are put into helper methods that are then chained into scenarios or use cases. The recorder should just be used to create these helpers.

Phil,

Thanks for your reply and advice on a nice approach (similar, I believe, to your example EclipseTest test case).
