Thank you for your feedback.
The "invisible step" idea is something we borrowed from other list-entry
widgets we found in a
quick survey of windows applications. I agree it's not the most intuitive
thing (and we can certainly
improve the implementation as you suggested) but we feel it's convenient
once you understand how
it works. If anyone can suggest a better widget, though...
Replay functionality is already (partially) there. If you double-click on a
test step, or press Enter
when the test step list has the focus, the command is executed right away by
Selenium (very easy
for us to do since we embed Selenium). Adding a "run" button would be
trivial.
Cheers,

Subject: [Selenium-devel] Re: test editor
The tool looks very cool. I have a couple of observations:
- The "File | New" menu option and equivalent toolbar button didn't
seem to work: I couldn't begin recording or adding verbs after
starting a new test. When I tried to save the "empty" test, I
got an oddly-encoded error message (but it did create the file).
(Later) It turns out that I was being fooled by the fact that the
empty first row is not selected, and therefore the editing widgets
are disabled. Maybe we should select it immediately after opening
a file, or creating a new one.
- "File | New" and "File | Open" don't prompt for changes when the
"current" test is dirty.
- The "Suppr" option is probably better "Delete" in English.
- There is no obvious way to create a new, empty step.
(Later) Again, I am fooled by the "invisible" empty step.
- Could we automatically select the "next" step after the user
presses <Enter> in an edit widget?
- Replay functionality would be really cool.
Overall, this looks like an excellent basis for handing test-generation
off to non-programmers.
