Recording a Test on Mozilla Firefox

Before you can record a Silk4NET test, you must have created a Silk4NET project.

To record a new test for a web application on Mozilla Firefox:
  1. Select the project to which you want to add the new test.
  2. In the toolbar, click Record Actions. The Add New Item dialog box opens.
  3. Select Silk4NET Test.
  4. Type a name for the new test into the Name field.
  5. Click Add.
  6. In the Select Browser dialog box, select the browser that you want to use.
  7. Optional: If you want to test a web application on a desktop browser with a predefined browser size, select the browser size from the Browser size list.
  8. Optional: Select an Orientation for the browser window.
  9. Click Record.
  10. The Interactive Recording window opens and displays the web application. Perform the actions that you want to record.
    1. Click on the object with which you want to interact. Silk4NET performs the default action for the object. If there is no default action, or if you have to insert text or specify parameters, the Choose Action dialog box opens.
    2. Optional: To chose an action for an object, which might not be the default action, right-click on the object. The Choose Action dialog box opens.
    3. Optional: If the action has parameters, type the parameters into the parameter fields. Silk4NET automatically validates the parameters.
    4. Click OK to close the Choose Action dialog box. Silk4NET adds the action to the recorded actions and replays it on the mobile device or emulator.
    During recording, Silk4NET displays the mouse position next to the recording window. You can toggle the location to switch between displaying the absolute mouse position on the device display and the mouse position in relation to the active object. For additional information about the actions available during recording, see Actions Available During Recording.
  11. Click Stop. The Record Complete dialog box opens.
  12. Click OK.

Replay the test to ensure that it works as expected. You can modify the test to make changes if necessary.
