Enabling Extensions for Applications Under Test
An extensions is a file that serves to extend the capabilities of, or data available to, a more basic program. SilkTest Classic provides extensions for testing applications that use non-standard controls in specific development and browser environments.
If you are using a project, the extension configuration information is stored in the partner,ini file. If you are not using a project, the extension configuration information is stored in the extend.ini file.
Enabling Extensions for Applications Under Test>Configuring the Browser
If you tests do not use the recovery system, you must manually configure your browser to make sure that your browser displays the following items:
- The standard toolbar buttons, for example Home, Back, and Stop, with the button text showing. If you customize your toolbars, then you must display at least the Stop button.
- The text box where you specify URLs. Location in Netscape; Address in Explorer.
- Links as underlined text.
- The browser window’s menu bar in your Web application. It is possible through some development tools to hide the browser window’s menu bar in a Web application. SilkTest Classic will not work properly unless the menu bar is displayed. The recovery system cannot restore the menu bar, so you must make sure the menu bar is displayed.
- The status bar at the bottom of the window shows the full URL when your mouse pointer is over a link.
We recommend that you configure your browser to update cached pages on a frequent basis.
