After you record a test, you can split the test actions
into multiple test segments with different nodes. With the test-splitting
capability, you can record a relatively long scenario with many functional
steps against an application and then, in the editor, modify the target
apps. Then you can generate multiple tests from a single recording
that you can replay in a different order with a schedule.
