    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    We will have test case and now we will have test script and the test script is created. Testscript.js file is created in test case resources and name.js is created in test suite resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Start application and create new address book file, add a new record. When the recording starts the IDE will hide the background. Then insert commands. Firstly insert the comment before you create an address book by AWT controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Then the properties box is displayed, scroll down the application to find the attribute row count =1. Click save and insert verification<\/strong> button. Click stop recording<\/strong> as we have reached the test. The  recorded script will be in the JavaScript with one main function.
