Executing Tests in Silk Test Workbench from eCATT

To execute a visual test or a .NET script in eCATT, you have to create and save a BLOB that includes the visual test or the .NET script. When you save a BLOB, the Primary Test Script/Visual test setting in the BLOB Content area of the Save BLOB dialog box is used by eCATT to determine which test to execute.
To execute the script in eCATT that will execute the visual test or .NET script in Silk Test Workbench:
  1. If the BLOB that contains the test is not saved, save the BLOB. In Silk Test Workbench, click Tools > SAP eCATT > Save BLOB > Save and Goto eCATT. When you save the BLOB, the Primary Test Script/Visual test setting in the BLOB Content area of the Save BLOB dialog box is used by eCATT to determine which test to execute.
  2. In eCATT, the Create Object Directory Entry dialog box opens. Type the name of the Package and click Save. The script is now ready to be executed in the eCATT UI.
  3. Click Execute in the eCATT UI. The Start Options dialog box opens.
  4. In the External Tool area, type the User Name and the Password for the Silk Test Workbench database.
  5. Optional: If you want to see what happens in the UI of Silk Test Workbench while the test is being executed, select With Surface of External Tool from the Mode for Ext. Tool list box. When you select Debug Mode from the list box, the script breaks at the first line.
  6. Click Run. eCATT starts Silk Test Workbench, sends the information to it, and executes the script.
