I need to record the steps a user performs while he is using an application of which I do not have the source code.
Which is the best way to do such a thing? Where should I start?
For Example: Say my application is notepad, the log might look like this:
1. Click on File Menu
2. Click on New...
3. Type "How are you?"
4. Click on Edit Menu
5. Click on Select All
etc.
It seems what you are really looking for is a “Test Suite”, or a key logger. For control names you can use application like Spy++ or, better yet, if its WPF/Window Forms use Snoop.
