Understanding the
Recovery System
What you will learn
This chapter contains the following sections:
Introduction to the recovery system
The built-in recovery system is one of SilkTest's most powerful features,
because it allows you to run tests unattended. When your application fails,
the recovery system restores the application to a stable state, known as the
base state, so that the rest of your tests can continue to run unattended.
