recovery system, which makes it possible for you to run your tests
unattended. When the application you are testing fails, or even crashes, the
recovery system restores the application to its base state so that the rest of
your tests can continue to run.
during testcase execution:
restores the application to the base state even if an unexpected event
corrupted the application between testcases.
terminates the execution of the testcase, writes a message in the error log, and
restores the application to the base state before running the next testcase.
itself (for example, it could not close a dialog it opened), the recovery system
restores the application to the base state.

and mouse to initiate application operations. The person is said to be
interacting with the GUI (Graphical User Interface). During SilkTest testing,
SilkTest interacts with the GUI to submit operations to the application
automatically. Thus SilkTest can simulate the actions of a person who is
exercising all the capabilities of an application and verifying the results of
each operation. The simulated user (SilkTest) is said to be driving the
application. The application under test reacts to the simulated user exactly as
it would react to a human user.
