Automatic test recorder for X2 Client

Value: Cost effective setup of automated testing. Automated testing reduces time to run repetitive tests, a time saving that translates directly into cost savings. Background: In the work to continuously improve testing it turned out that X2 client had great potential to be used creating automated test scenarios. Functionality: New Bundles functionality that allows recording X2 Client activity and then playback pre-recorded scenarios, comparing the result to the expected behavior. The recorded X2 activity is saved into a Bundle where it also can be modified if needed.
