Prerequisites for Testing with Apple Safari on a Mac

Before you can test with Apple Safari on a Mac, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
  • The Mac is connected as a remote location to a Windows machine, on which Silk4J is installed. For additional information, see Editing Remote Locations.
  • The SafariDriver, which is the WebDriver extension for Apple Safari that inverts the traditional client/server relationship and communicates with the WebDriver client using WebSockets, is installed on the Mac.
  • Java JDK is installed on the Mac.
  • The information service is installed on the Mac. To get the files that are required for the information service, use the Silk Test installer. For additional information, see Installing the Silk Test Information Service on a Mac.
  • To run tests on Apple Safari, the user that has installed the information service needs to be logged in on the Mac.
    Tip: Micro Focus recommends to set the Mac to automatically log in the correct user during startup. For additional information, see Set your Mac to automatically log in during startup.
