Recording a Visual Test for the Sample Web Application

During recording, Silk Test Workbench records all interactions in the test application (except interaction with Silk Test Workbench itself) until recording is stopped. After you have finished recording, you can modify the visual test you have generated to add and remove steps.

To be able to edit the recorded controls at a later point in this tutorial, enable the capturing of browser controls before recording the visual test.
1. In the Silk Test Workbench menu, select Tools > Options. The Options dialog box opens.
2. In the tree, select Record > Output > Visual test.
3. Set the value of Browser control capture to Yes.
Note: Enabling control capture during the recording of web applications might decrease the performance of your visual tests. Micro Focus recommends disabling control captures when you have completed the tasks described in this tutorial.
Choose File > New.
The New Asset dialog box opens.
Select Visual test from the asset types list.
Check the Begin Recording check box to start recording immediately.
Click OK to save the visual test as an asset and begin recording.
The Select Application dialog box opens.
Select the Web tab.
Select Internet Explorer from the list.
In the Enter URL to navigate text box, type demo.borland.com/InsuranceWebExtJS/.
