Creating a New Test Frame for the Classic Agent

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

Create a new test frame (.inc) file to specify the executable of the application that you want to test, for example if you want to test multiple applications in a single test.

  1. Click File > New. The New File dialog box appears.
  2. Select Test frame.
  3. Type a name for the new frame file into the Frame file name field.
    Note: Retain the .inc extension.
  4. Select the application that you want to test from the Application list. This list includes all open applications that are not minimized. Web applications are identified by the title of the currently loaded page.
  5. Optional: Change the path to the selected application in the Working directory field.
  6. Optional: Change the path to the .exe of the application that you want to test into the Command line field.
  7. Optional: For a web application, change the path to the URL of the application into the Start testing on this page field. This field is only displayed if you select a web application in a browser that is supported by the Classic Agent. If the URL does not appear, even though the web application appears in the Application list, your extensions are not enabled. For additional information, see Extensions dialog box.
  8. Optional: Change the suggested identifier for the application in the Window name field. You can use this identifier in all your test cases to identify your application.
    Tip: Keep this identifier as short as possible.
