Before you can record a
Silk4J test, you must have created a
Silk4J project.
To record a new test for a web application on
Mozilla Firefox:
Select the project to which you want to add the new test.
In the toolbar, click
Record Actions.
In the
Select Browser dialog box, select the browser that you want to use.
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.
Optional:
Select an
Orientation for the browser window.
Optional: To record WebDriver locators instead of recording
Silk4J locators, click
WebDriver in the
Silk Recorder.
This feature is available when recording against one of the following browsers:
Microsoft Edge
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Apple Safari
For additional information, see
Using Selenium WebDriver.
Click
Record.
The
Interactive Recording window opens and displays the application under test. Perform the actions that you want to record.
Click on the object with which you want to interact.
Silk4J 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.
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.
Optional: If the action has parameters, type the parameters into the parameter fields.
Silk4J automatically validates the parameters.
Click
OK to close the
Choose Action dialog box.
Silk4J adds the action to the recorded actions and replays it on the mobile device or emulator.
During recording,
Silk4J 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.
Click
Stop.
The
Record Complete dialog box opens.
The
Source folder field is automatically populated with the source file location for the project that you selected. To use a different source
folder, click
Select and navigate to the folder that you want to use.
Optional: In the
Package text box, specify the package name.
For example, type:
com.example.
To use an existing package, click
Select and select the package that you want to use.
In the
Test class text box, specify the name for the test class. To use an existing class, click
Select and select the class that you want to use.
In the
Test method text box, specify a name for the test method.
Click
OK.
Replay the test to ensure that it works as expected. You can modify the test to make changes if necessary.
