Running tests

Running tests
You can run testcases individually, as a script, as a group of scripts (called a
suite), or from a testplan if you are running QA Organizer.
Preparing to run tests
If you plan to test Web applications, make sure you enable the correct
browser extension(s), either during installation or using the Agent Options
dialog. If you do not plan to test Web applications, you must disable all
browser extensions using the Agent Options dialog. This is because the
recovery system works differently when testing Web applications than when
testing non-Web applications. For more information, see "The recovery
system for Web applications" in Chapter 3 of Testing Web Applications with
SilkTest.
