PIerre, good question. The answer is yes, autopilot can retrieve data from running applications. But of course, you have to run autopilot and have a test to ask for the information.
In reality, if someone wanted to steal a password they would have to convince you to run an executable. The executable would grab the data directly, no need to use autopilot or write a testcase for it :-) Nicholas On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 7:50 PM, Pierre Equoy <[email protected]>wrote: > Nice introduction!
