Write from the scratch is the best way to overcome with our Test steps. for time consuming record the scriipts for the process. which means record the flow of the application according to the bussiness needs from end to end recordingly. Later add the data driven, check points, recovery scenario, validation etc.. can be done through written scripts.

It all depends on the functionality you are automating.


If your functionality needs to be automated for different testcases i would follow the below steps.
1) Add objects to the repository
2) Write the scripts manually.
3) Add conditions,Checkpoints,...goes on

If your functionality to be automated is a one time then i would follow the below steps
1) Record the functionality
2) Modify the script to make it work at all times
3) Include conditions,checkpoints,recovery scenarios,..goes on
