Using the Basic Workflow
Overview of the Basic Workflow
The Basic Workflow bar guides you through the process of creating a testcase. Using this Workflow
bar, you create a project, automatically enable and test extension settings, configure the recovery
system, and record and run a testcase. You can also use the Silk TrueLog to explore the results.
At the time this tutorial was written, you can use the Basic Workflow to have SilkTest automatically
enable extensions for:
·
browser applications and applets running in Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL, and Firefox
·
standalone
Java
applications
·
Visual Basic applications
·
Client/Server applications
See the Release Notes for details about supported versions.
You can manually enable additional extensions; see Enabling extensions manually in the online Help
and the Release Notes for more information.
