But don’t worry if you’re not familiar with it yet. As you’ll see in this article, the basic techniques aren’t too difficult. And you might already…
Automated testing makes the whole testing process easy and fast. Record and playback testing make that process easier and quicker. Record and playback testing has been around for quite some time, but it’s delivering more value these days. But it’s been a roller coaster ride. In this post, I’ll be talking about what record and…
