1. Test Cases - Capture specific conditions,states,or values during a test procedure recording and store the data as the expected baseline for the application under test.During playback,test cases recapture the data from the current build of the application under test,and compare the captured data to the baseline data.

2. Wait States - Provide a way to synchronize test procedure playback with application under test. During playback, your application may require additional time to complete certain tasks. Setting wait states lets you define specific conditions for which the test procedure waits before continuing with subsequent test sections.

4. Synchronization Points - Let you coordinate virtual users at test runtime. To use this feature, you must have Virtual User Recording installed.

The remaining Insert menu commands let you call existing test procedures from the script being recorded, insert comments into the test procedure script or test log,or invoke an application while recording without having to go through the desktop.
