Automation of actions on a server system (e.g., web server, FTP server) is facilitated by a server system that is ready for actions to be performed upon it. Because there are scenarios when a server system is not in a state to be acted upon (e.g., web page changed due to navigation, script execution, asynchronous request through dynamic web extensions), an automated action needs to be synchronized to when then server system is in a ready state for that action to occur. A wait-for-ready state can be initiated that detects when a server system is ready for a next action.

Wait for ready state

Recording of functional steps resulting from actions in an application is desirable for performing functional testing or user interface automation of an application. However, certain events that may result from actions occurring in an application are often difficult to record, which may lead to playback failure. Further, a user's intent when performing an action is difficult to determine. In order to obtain effective playback, a reliable and efficient recording of an application's functional steps needs to occur. Injecting wrapper functions into an application and monitoring an event generator's state before and after an action has occurred may yield more reliable and effective results.
