What are capture/replay and data-driven testing and when would each method be used?

0

The Capture/Replay technique has been around for sometime and has commonly been used for functional testing. Capture replay can be extremely effective in conducting quick and repeatable tests during a short implementation window. Often users and technicians work together, wherein users capture initial data and technicians continue to test with this data until the changes are implemented. The drawback to this technique is the difficulty in maintaining long-term scripts for regression testing. Applications with frequent screen changes significantly hamper re-use of captured scripts. Often significant editing of scripts is required utilizing this technique since both the data and the script are integrated. Each location where the screen has changed needs to be edited. For example, if “Phone 2” was added to the new account screen, everywhere that screen appears within the scripts will need to be edited to support entering a valid value or for tabbing past the field.
