1.Once the record button is pressed and test steps are performed , QuickTest listens and records the activities. This results in the recording and storing of each step of the business process. Each step consists of:
-The object
-The method (operation)
-The method property (a value for the action performed on the object)
2.QuickTest should be running before the application under test is invoked. For some environments, this is mandatory.
