Adding Accessibility Classes

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

Use accessibility to help Silk Test Classic better identify unrecognizable objects. The information you add to the list of classes is stored in the accex.inc file, which is installed by default in the <Silk Test installation directory>\Extend or <Project name>\extend directory.

You cannot add duplicate or blank class names.

  1. Open the application containing the unrecognizable objects.
  2. Open Silk Test Classic, then click Record > Class > Accessibility.
  3. On the Windows Accessibility dialog box, click and drag the Finder tool icon over the object you want to identify. A black rectangle displays around the edge of the control. When you release the mouse button, the object's information displays in the Name and Class text boxes.
  4. Click Add to move the class name to the list of Accessibility classes that Silk Test Classic can identify, then click OK.
