Viewing Where an Asset is Included

You can reuse test assets from multiple other test assets, for example, you can use the same object map in multiple visual tests and VB .NET scripts. Each script must explicitly include other test assets that it uses. Silk Test Workbench automatically creates the inclusion references for non-VB .NET assets but users must explicitly include VB .NET assets in each script that uses them.

You can use the Include Info pane to view the assets that the selected asset includes and the assets that include the selected asset. For example, when making a change to a script, you can find all other scripts that use it and you can run these scripts to ensure they still work.

You can also use the Include Info pane when you apply changes to object maps. For example, if you rename an object map ID, Silk Test Workbench does not automatically update the ID in the scripts that use the object map. You can use the Include Info pane to figure out in which scripts you need to updated the object map ID.

  1. In the Asset Browser, select the asset.
  2. Choose View > Includes. The Include Info pane opens.
  3. In the Include Info pane, click the Includes tab to see the assets that the selected asset includes or click the Included by tab to see the assets that include the selected asset.
