3. Lesson Objectives In this lesson, you will: • Set up the QuickTest environment for record and playback • Select the correct addins to load from the Addin Manager • Select the ActiveScreen capture level • Configure the record and run settings • Create a basic test from a manual test case • Playback a test • Save a test (two locations) • Set initial and end conditions in a test

4. Set Up the QuickTest Professional Work Environment What are the proper record and run settings I need to configure? What are the environments and objects in the application under test? Is it Windows, Web, SAP or Terminal Emulator? Does it use Java, ActiveX, plain HTML, Visual Basic? How much information should the test capture into the ActiveScreen? What are the available add-ins in the Add-in Manager that I need to select?
