--AUT is stable: slight risk to script base per change in AUT

# New Applications (can expect changes in windows/objects/navigational paths)

# If risk to existing script base is moderate of high

--Consider a "State Navigation" component to the Framework

--Allows navigational components of a test to be consolidated for ease of maintenance

--Must understand the "Anatomy of a Test Case"
