Why we need to use the browser lauched by WebUI to record and execute test ???

- What is the technical reason for this limitation??
- Why not recording on any opened IE window??
- Is this instance really represents the real IE window of the end user (our client) since a particular setup/config is needed on IE window??
- The recorder seems to be a BHO/Plugin on top of the browser (wich is enabled in any windows).  What the WebAI instance is different from the other IE instances???

My boss and I are really intrigued by the "Browser instance" imposition to automate our silverlight application.

Thanks - Mike

Hello Marcel Legris,

We actually did some improvements recently in our Q2 release in this area. You can now connect to an existing browser as documented in our release notes.

In the past this imposition was enforced to make starting recording seamless. Since then we've had many requests to be able to connect to an already open browser window. As a result of all these requests we added that feature in our Q2 release.
