Designing and Recording
Testcases
Introduction
This chapter shows you how to use the powerful SilkTest recorder to
automatically capture the actions you perform as you interact with your
application, creating an automated testcase.
The cornerstone of an automated test is the verification stage, in which the
test verifies that the state of the application matches the expected (baseline)
state. Using the recorder, you can record object-appropriate verification of
your application's state, data, or appearance.
