ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for the testing, training on, demonstration of, or otherwise exercising an integrated and interactive software system in the environment in which such a system is to be utilized. A tool used for accomplishing these objectives has a record mode in which a unified input queue (UIQ) is generated of all inputs to the system when the system is being utilized to perform an exemplary function. In play mode, the system normally operates in response to inputs from the UIQ, which inputs are provided in the same sequence and with the same duration between inputs as when recorded. Controls are provided to permit selection of application tools which are to be recorded and which are to be played back, to control portions of the operations which are to be recorded, to edit the UIQ to add, delete or change inputs, to move forward or backward by controlled amounts in the UIQ in play mode and to control the rate at which inputs are applied to the system in play mode. The operation may also be paused in either record or play mode and additional operations may be entered during a pause in play mode.
