HUSTEF 2014 - Lajos Tanács
summary
Claim: record-and-playback fails—recorded scripts crumble when a menu restructure takes two days and test coverage drops to zero. Recommendation is concrete: design test suites like software, separate process from data, encapsulate UI areas, enforce reusability, use a programmable tool, store tests in a repository, generate sane test data, and automate release and execution. A maintainable test automation suite gets built this way and delivers reliable results instead of endless brittle recordings.
