Overriding the default recovery system
How the default
processing is
implemented
The default recovery system is implemented through several functions, as
described in the following table.
Overriding the default
processing
You can write functions that override some of the default behavior of the
recovery system.
If ScriptEnter, ScriptExit, TestcaseEnter, or TestcaseExit are defined, SilkTest
will use them instead of the corresponding default function.
Example You might want to specify that certain test files get copied from a
server in preparation for running a script. You would specify such processing
in a function called ScriptEnter in your test frame.
Function
Purpose

Restore the default base state, then call the application's
BaseState function, if defined.
