- We can have additional debugging facilities using “Power Debugger” add-on
- We can create the above script manually also rather than recording it.But “record and playback” is really helpful for beginners after that they can move to advance features.
- We are not digging much deeper into the functionality or commands of IDE as this is just used for kick starting with selenium.Our main focus is Selenium Webdriver which is used in pragmatic scenario’s.
