Hi Lalitha,
Yes it is definitely possible that automation script can be prepared without recording the application. And it is advisable that for better maintainability and efficiency of the code you should not go for "Record/Playback" feature.
Prepared scripts using "Record and playback"are difficult to maintain because:
1) It closely ties with the flow and interface presented by the GUI.
2)Highly relies on the state, objects, circumstances on which script been recorded.
3) input information gets Hardcoded, so when those infos are no longer valid then you need to update the script with latest value.
Please let me know if you have any other relevant doubts.
Thanks,
Nilanjan.
