Running Tests in Silk Performer

Once you have completed the implementation of the .NET test driver, you can run tests from within Silk Performer. To do this, open Silk Performer from the Silk Performer menu. The project file is opened in Silk Performer with all the generated scripts and data files.

You can customize the .NET test driver by changing the input values of the .NET functions in the BDL script. The separation of .NET code and BDL code is a great benefit for companies with testing departments in which not all employees are familiar with .NET. One employee with .NET skills can implement .NET test drivers and pass a generated Silk Performer project along to other employees who are more familiar with Silk Performer. Those employees can then customize the BDL script by changing input parameters and configuring real tests.

Running Tests on Remote Agents

If you want to run a .NET test on remote agents you must make sure that the Microsoft .NET Framework is installed on each of the agents. You can download the Microsoft .NET Framework from http://msdn.microsoft.com.
