Why bother defining objects - why not just record the application?
Posted by Novalys Support on 28 August 2018 05:49 PM

It is understandable that someone new to test automation would wonder whether the benefits of defining application objects are worth the effort.

After all, isn’t it more expedient to use a recorder that references objects directly?

It is a question that occasionally surfaces during a comparison of automated testing tools.
Yet the real merits of an object-based solution are difficult to foresee during a short evaluation period.

Those benefits really appear when the first maintenance cycle occurs, and you are tasked with updating tests to get them to run successfully against the ‘next’ version of the application.
