Feature request: Prompt for a name when clicking "Record New Test"

Steps to reproduce:

1)  Open an existing keyword test and select the "Test Steps" tab

2)  Click the "Record New Test" button at the top of the window

Notice:  You are not prompted to supply/enter a name for the test at this point.  After the test is recorded it requires extra mouse clicks to go back and rename the test from 'Testx' to something more meaningful.  It would be better/more efficient if you were prompted for the name at the begining of the process.



The name field could be prepopulated with "Textx" if someone want to use the default name.



Regards,

John

    I would agree with you. However, I have noticed that Keyword Tests (unlike Scripts) are designed the way which does most operations automatically (give names for tests, add NameMapping or Stores project items, etc.), so I think it is done intentionally.

    Hi Gena, thanks for the reply.  I guess it comes down to this:  Do the majority of users stay with the default names, or do they at some point rename the keyword tests with more meaningful names.



    My guess was most people rename them but I could be wrong.  For optimal usability the application should be tailored to accomodate the most common usage scenario.



    Best regards,

    John
