  2. Click Script > Insert Recording.

  3. Click Start Application to start your test application on the Recording toolbar.
  4. Perform any of the following actions in the application:
    • To record a verification point, locate the object in your application to test and click Insert Verification Point or Action Command.
    • To insert any features such as a call script command, log entry, timer, script delay command, or comment into the script, click Insert Script Support Commands.
  5. Close the application.
    Note: You can close the application to record the close action.
  6. Click Stop Recording when the recording is complete.
