Recording from a Testplan
Recording from a Testplan
You can record a testcase from a testplan in two ways;
·
While the testplan is being developed or
·
After the testplan has been completed.
There is an advantage to recording from a testplan rather than recording the
testcase on its own and then linking it to the testplan. The advantage is, in
recording from the testplan editor SilkTest automatically inserts the script
and testcase statements into the plan when you have finished recording.
In the following exercise you will create a testcase from the test descriptions
you created in
Chapter 3, "Planning a Testing Strategy"
.

(client/server): Make sure you are using gmoc.inc as your test frame: In
