Modeling GUI-Level Tests - Silk Test Classic

  1. Click File in the menu and click New Project. In the tree, click GUI-Level Testing and Silk Test. Enter a Name and a Description and click Next.
  2. In the File field, specify the Silk Test asset you want to use for a performance test. Silk Performer automatically detects the file type and enables the appropriate button below.
  3. Click Import Silk Test Classic test.
  4. If the test case file you want to import is located within a Silk Test package file (.stp), select Open a Silk Test package file and specify the file in the Silk Test Package field.
  5. If you want to import a test case file, select Open a Silk Test script file and specify the file in the Script File field.
  6. Select a specific Testcase from the list.
  7. (optional) You can add Silk Test Classic test data to the selected test case, if required. Enter test data into the Test Data field using the format "<test case name>",<test data> (For example, "test", 10).
  8. Click Add. The selected test case appears below in the Testcase field.
  9. Add more test cases to your project as required by repeating this procedure.
  10. Select a Web Browser from the drop-down list. This list is only enabled when the file that is to be imported is based on a Silk Test web project. Silk Test web projects can make use of the single-session concept for GUI-level testing.
  11. Enable Use project attributes for session login to let Silk Performer use credentials from the Project Attributes to login into sessions. To edit the project attributes, click Project > Project Attributes . The credentials will be added to the TInit transaction of your script.
    Note: Silk Test web projects can make use of the single-session concept for GUI-level testing, thus login credentials are not required at all. Nevertheless, for further script customization it might be useful to enable Use project attributes for session login.
  12. Click OK and save the .bdf file.
Silk Performer imports the test assets and generates an appropriate .bdl stub.
