The scripting challenges

Record a script

Correlations

Parameterize data

Add transactions

Add logic

Sequential process Scripting expertise needed (Ansi-C development skills) Complex web applications are very hard to script or not to be scripted at all Protocol level scripts break with minor application changes (when they break it is very hard to find the problem) Assynchronous behavior is not supported in HTTP/HTML protocol AJAX Click and Script is only supporting a number of AJAX frameworks Client side processing and logic is not taken into account with HTTP/HTML protocol
