Replay test fails randomly

[AFKK]

I am recording and replaying a Eclipse plug-in test by WindowTester. However, when I try to replay it, the test fails too frequently (about 6 in 10 tests will fail). Most of errors are trivial, such as "can't find widget" cased by "ui.click(new MenuItemLocator("File/New/Project..."));". Is there anyway to amend this situation? Is this a timing problem? Does slow down the playback delay will help ?

Thanks.

It may be a timing problem. Do the failures happen at all predictably? Are the same 6 failing? Do note that WT requires complete control of the mouse and keyboard during test execution. User interactions will likely cause test failures.

Please post more details and we'll be happy to help you work through them.

Thanks a lot. Turning the replay delay seems to be helpful on this situation.

Good deal. Please follow up if you get any insight into what was causing the issue.
