Information for Current Customers that Are Using VO

This functionality is supported only if you are using the Classic Agent.

Silk Test Classic no longer supports the VO extension and you must convert your automation to use the DOM extension. If you simply enable the DOM extension, there is no guarantee that previously written scripts will run without modification.

Using the DOM extension will require you to make changes to your scripts and include files. The number of automation changes will depend on how you have structured your tests and is hard to predict, since everyone has their own style of structuring their automation.

There are differences in the way DOM and VO recognize objects and so you will have to make script changes regardless of which way you choose to use the DOM. For example, if you use the DOM extension, the caption tag as well as the window ID tag might be different for some objects than if you used VO. This means you would have to at least update your window declarations and possibly update your scripts.
