As a test engineer, I often engage in exploratory testing. When I encounter a bug, it is not always immediately clear which steps led to the problem. So, obviously, I have to find the required steps to reproduce the problem. Depending on the situation, this can take a large amount of time.
What would be really helpful is a logging tool that keeps track of mouse and keyboard actions and possibly also stores the properties of components that have been clicked (the AUT is written in Java).
I could simply not find a suitable tool, but maybe my search approach is erroneous.
Could anyone point me to the right direction?
You may want to check out BB Test Assistant. I saw a very early version of this and was impressed. I’ve also heard good things from people who have used it since then.
