Recording Overview

When you record a new visual test or script, the Select Application dialog box opens. Double-click the application that you want to test. Silk Test Workbench automatically creates an application configuration and base state to identify the test application. An application configuration defines how Silk Test Workbench connects to and configures the application that you want to test. An application’s base state is the known, stable state that you expect the application to be in before each test begins execution.

If you open the Identify Object dialog box before you record a visual test or script, the Select Application dialog box opens also.

After you select the application that you want to test, perform one of the following steps:
  • Record a visual test
  • Record a script
  • Select the object that you want to identify

You can modify the application configuration and turn the base state off if necessary.
