Once you record your actions for testing, you can play them back at the speed you desire and loop as many times as you like. There are many advanced features as well, such as dynamic auto-typing for unique data entry, loop interruption, playback logging, and the ability to compile native .EXE programs. Any actions that you record can be saved as an editable text file (.TXT), and there is a small scripting language available as well. These features allow you to have complete control over the playback actions.
