Recording SAP tests
When you record a test, the test creation wizard records your interactions with the SAP
server, generates a test from the recording, and opens the test for editing. You can record tests
from the SAP GUI. You can also record SAP batch input tests that can be used to produce a heavy
load on the server while minimizing the processing requirements for virtual testers.
