Abstract

There are times when it is not practical to hand-script automated tests for an existing system before one starts to modify it. In these circumstances, the use of “record & playback” testing may be a viable alternative to hand-writing all the tests. This paper describes experiences using this approach and summarizes key learnings applicable to other projects.
