What are best practices for recording test cases using Task Recorder?

Microsoft recommends the following best practices:

• Start all recordings from the main dashboard

• Divide end-to-end processes into user-specific tasks

• Keep one test case limited to one or two business tasks

• Avoid recording large processes like Procure-to-Pay in a single recording

• Ensure at least one validation step per test case

• Focus 80% on transactional scenarios and limit master data to 20%

• Avoid printing reports; instead validate on-screen data

These practices improve maintainability and automation readiness.
