How to take notes while registering a scenario

Post by pmarella » Tue Jul 23, 2013 11:09 am

Hello
Is there any way to take "notes" while registering a scenario and have these notes reported in the final scripts as comments (so it could be easier to follow the flow of the registration)?

thanks in advance

You can have comments in the scripts.

Eg
//Comment Field.

Sorry, could be my question was unclear.
What I meant is the capability to take notes (comments) WHILE registering the scenario so that the comments can be found then in the script.

thanks again

If, when you say "registering the scenario" you mean recording actions on the computer to create a macro, then yes.

While you are recording manual actions to be played back later you could open notepad for example and type "comments" there. All of your keystrokes will be recorded and will show up in the script as notepad SendText> and positioned in the recorded script where you performed the typing. The recorded script would then need to be manually edited to actually comment the notepad SendText> event "comments".
