Is GUIdancer / Jubula a capture-replay tool?
Although GUIdancer and Jubula do have an observation mode to record actions in a running AUT, we do not consider ourselves to be a capture-replay tool, because tests can also be easily specified by drag and drop using our library of keywords. In addition, GUIdancer / Jubula has various benefits when compared to capture-replay tools: You can start writing your tests before an application is available. This means that tests can run as soon as an application is ready, so you find errors earlier, when they are cheapest to fix. Tests are modular and well-structured from the outset. There is no programming work to do to make tests maintainable. Even the observation mode produces readable Test Steps, which are easy to combine into reusable modules. The actions delivered with GUIdancer / Jubula are designed to be as abstract yet as high-level as possible, so that there are no unnecessary implementation details and no redundancy in tests. Similar actions can often all be tested with one keyword
