Abstract
Recording of functional steps resulting from actions in an application is desirable for performing functional testing or user interface automation of an application. However, certain events that may result from actions occurring in an application are often difficult to record, which may lead to playback failure. Further, a user's intent when performing an action is difficult to determine. In order to obtain effective playback, a reliable and efficient recording of an application's functional steps needs to occur. Injecting wrapper functions into an application and monitoring an event generator's state before and after an action has occurred may yield more reliable and effective results.
