Recording a Script that Tests Multiple Test Applications

You can record a script that tests multiple test applications. For example, if you are testing an application that modifies a database and you use a database viewer tool to verify the database contents, you must add an additional application configuration for the database viewer tool.

Record a script or create one manually for the primary application that you want to test.
In the Properties pane, right-click and choose Add Application Configuration. The Select Application dialog box opens.
If you have not set an application configuration for the current project, select the tab that corresponds to the type of application that you are testing:
- If you are testing a standard application that does not run in a browser, select the Windows tab.
- If you are testing a web application or a mobile web application, select the Web tab.
- If you are testing a native mobile application, select the Mobile tab.
To test a standard application, if you have not set an application configuration for the current project, select the application from the list.
To test a web application or a mobile web application, select one of the installed browsers or mobile browsers from the list.
1. Specify the web page to open in the Enter URL to navigate text box. If an instance of the selected browser is already running, you can click Use URL from running browser to record against the URL currently displayed in the running browser instance.
2. 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.
  For example, to test a web application on Apple Safari and in a browser window which is as big as the screen of the Apple iPhone 7, select Apple iPhone 7 from the list.
3. Optional: Select an Orientation for the browser window.
4. Optional: Click Edit Browser Sizes to specify a new browser size and to select which browser sizes should be shown in the Browser size list.
To test a native mobile application (app):
1. Select the mobile device, on which you want to test the app, from the list.
2. Select the native mobile application.
  - If you want to install the app on the mobile device or emulator, click Browse to select the app file or enter the full path to the app file into the App file text field. Silk Test Workbench supports HTTP and UNC formats for the path.
  - If you want to use an app that is already installed on an Android device, select the app from the Package/Activity list or specify the package and the activity in the Package/Activity field.
  - If you want to use an app that is already installed on an iOS device, specify the Bundle ID.
  - If you want to use an app that is available in Mobile Center, specify the App identifier.
Click OK.
