Understanding SilkTest Basics
Objects
An object is a specific instance of a class. For example, in the 4Test language,
the Exit button on a window is an object of the PushButton class.
Note Objects can contain other objects. In the following figure, the
About Green Mountain Outpost (GMO) window is a child window
of the GMO main window.
Properties
A property is the physical characteristic of an object that you can access
directly. Each class has an associated set of properties, although some
properties are common among classes.
The following figure shows SilkTest's Library Browser, which contains
information about methods, properties and functions. What you see below are
the properties defined for the CheckBox class, bChecked and bValue.
