Hi,

there are two types of two different types of recording. they are

1. Context sensitive recording mode,

2. Analog recoring mode.

if you are a starter, yo ucan go in for context sensitive recording more as it does not involve appropriate track of mouse clicks.

where as, the analog mode traces the mouse clicks continuously.

In WinRunner there are two modes of recording. They are1.Context Sensitive2.AnalogContext Sensitive:Context Sensitive mode records the operations in the application being tested in terms of the GUI objects that are selected such as a window, menu, list, or button while ignoring the physical location of the object on the screen. WinRunner writes a unique description of each selected object to a GUI map.Analog mode:This mode records mouse clicks, keyboard input and the exact x- and y- co-ordinates traveled by the mouse. This mode is used when exact mouse coordinates are important to the test such as when testing drawing application.

There is no question of beginner or experienced in using the recording modes. It depends on the applicatiopn i.e it contains bitmap or GUI objects and requirement of the test. so context sensitive mode is used when application contains GUI objects & exact mouse movements are not required. Analog recording mode is used when application contains bitmap areas and exact mouse movements are required.
