Step Status Types

Silk Test Workbench assigns a status for each step in a result based on the performance of the step during playback. The status of a step is displayed in the Result column of the Test Steps pane and the step text is colored according to its status type.

Step Status Types

Status types for steps in a result include:

Type	Description
Passed	A step is assigned a Passed status when a verification step meets the criteria defined by the verification logic of the given step. Steps assigned this status type appear in the Passed and Details tab of a result. Passed appears in the Result column and the step text color is green.
Failed	A step is assigned a Failed status when a verification step fails to meet the criteria defined by the verification logic of the given step. Steps assigned this status type appear in the Failed and Details tab of a result. Failed appears in the Result column and the step text color is red.
Playback Error	A step with a Playback Error status is a step that does not perform successfully.
