Executing the base state starts the application if it is not already running. If the application is already running, Silk Test Workbench does not start another instance of the application.
If your test includes multiple application configurations and you are modifying an application or Web page other than the object associated with the base state, you can turn off the base state. This indicates that the base state will not be used for recording or replaying the modifications. Therefore, you must record the steps to launch the application or Web page within your test. For instance, if you want to test a Web page, start Internet Explorer within your test.
