ApplicationReadyTimeout
|
OPT_APPREADY_TIMEOUT
|
NUMBER
|
Specifies the number of milliseconds to wait for a newly launched application to become ready. If the application is not ready within the specified timeout,
Silk Test Workbench raises an exception.
|
BitmapMatchCount
|
OPT_BITMAP_MATCH_COUNT
|
INTEGER
|
Specifies the number of consecutive snapshots that must be the same for the bitmap to be considered stable. Snapshots are taken up to the number of seconds specified by OPT_BITMAP_MATCH_TIMEOUT, with a pause specified by OPT_BITMAP_MATCH_INTERVAL occurring between each snapshot.
By default, this is 0.
|
BitmapMatchInterval
|
OPT_BITMAP_MATCH_INTERVAL
|
REAL
|
Specifies the time interval between snapshots to use for ensuring the stability of the bitmap image. The snapshots are taken up to the time specified by OPT_BITMAP_MATCH_TIMEOUT.
By default, this is 0.1.
|
BitmapMatchTimeout
|
OPT_BITMAP_MATCH_TIMEOUT
|
REAL
|
Specifies the total time allowed for a bitmap image to become stable.
During the time period,
Silk Test Workbench takes multiple snapshots of the image, waiting the number of seconds specified with OPT_BITMAP_MATCH_TIMEOUT between snapshots. If the value returned by OPT_BITMAP_MATCH_TIMEOUT is reached before the number of bitmaps specified by OPT_BITMAP_MATCH_COUNT match,
Silk Test Workbench stops taking snapshots and raises the exception E_BITMAP_NOT_STABLE.
By default, this is 5.
|
BitmapPixelTolerance
|
OPT_BITMAP_PIXEL_TOLERANCE
|
INTEGER
|
Specifies the number of pixels of difference below which two bitmaps are considered to match. If the number of pixels that are different is smaller than the number specified with this option, the bitmaps are considered identical. The maximum tolerance is 32767 pixels.
By default, this is 0.
|
ButttonsToCloseWindows
|
OPT_CLOSE_WINDOW_BUTTONS
|
LIST OF STRING
|
Specifies the buttons used to close windows with the
CloseSynchron method.
|
ButttonsToConfirmDialogs
|
OPT_CLOSE_CONFIRM_BUTTONS
|
LIST OF STRING
|
Specifies the buttons used to close confirmation dialog boxes that appear when closing windows with the
CloseSynchron method.
|
CloseUnresponsiveApplications
|
OPT_KILL_HANGING_APPS
|
BOOLEAN
|
Specifies whether unresponsive applications are closed. An application is unresponsive if communication between the Agent and the application fails, e.g. times out. Set this option to TRUE when testing applications that cannot run multiple instances. By default, this is FALSE.
|
CloseWindowTimeout
|
OPT_CLOSE_WINDOW_TIMEOUT
|
NUMBER
|
Specifies the number of milliseconds to wait before the next close strategy is tried. The Agent executes four close attempts before failing, so the total time before a close fails is four times the value you specify.
|
Compatibility
|
OPT_COMPATIBILITY
|
STRING
|
Enables you to use the
Silk Test Workbench behavior of the specified
Silk Test Workbench version for specific features, when the behavior of these features has changed in the latest version.
By default, this option is not set.
|
EnsureObjectIsActive
|
OPT_ENSURE_ACTIVE_OBJDEF
|
BOOLEAN
|
Ensures that the target object is active. By default, this is FALSE.
|
EnableAccessibility
|
OPT_ENABLE_ACCESSIBILITY
|
BOOLEAN
|
TRUE to enable Accessibility when you are testing a Win32 application and
Silk Test Workbench cannot recognize objects. Accessibility is designed to enhance object recognition at the class level.
FALSE to disable Accessibility.
By default, this is FALSE.
Note: For
Mozilla Firefox and
Google Chrome, Accessibility is always activated and cannot be deactivated.
|
HighlightObjectDuringPlayback
|
OPT_REPLAY_HIGHLIGHT
|
BOOLEAN
|
Specifies whether the current object is highlighted during playback.
By default, this is FALSE, which means that objects are not highlighted by default.
|
KeyboardEventDelay
|
OPT_KEYBOARD_INPUT_DELAY
|
NUMBER
|
Sets the delay in milliseconds between playback of keyboard strokes.
Be aware that the optimal number you select can vary, depending on the application that you are testing. For example, if you are testing a Web application, a setting of 1 millisecond radically slows down the browser. However, setting this to 0 (zero) may cause basic application testing to fail.
|
KeysToCloseDialogs
|
OPT_CLOSE_DIALOG_KEYS
|
LIST OF STRING
|
Specifies the keystroke sequence to close dialog boxes that open after trying to close a window with the
CloseSynchron method. Examples include: <ESC>, <Alt+F4>.
|
LocatorAttributesCaseSensitive
|
OPT_LOCATOR_ATTRIBUTES_CASE_SENSITIVE
|
BOOLEAN
|
Set to
Yes to add case-sensitivity to locator attribute names, or to
No to match the locator names case insensitive. The names of locator attributes for mobile Web applications are always case insensitive, and this option is ignored when recording or replaying mobile Web applications.
|
MenuItemsToCloseWindows
|
OPT_CLOSE_WINDOW_MENUS
|
LIST OF STRING
|
Specifies the menu items used to close windows with the
CloseSynchron method. Examples include: "File/Exit*", "File/Quit*".
|
MouseEventDelay
|
OPT_MOUSE_INPUT_DELAY
|
NUMBER
|
Specifies the delay in milliseconds used before each mouse event.
|
ObjectResolveRetryTimeout
|
OPT_WAIT_RESOLVE_OBJDEF
|
NUMBER
|
Specifies the time in milliseconds to wait for an object to be resolved during playback. As soon as the object is resolved,
Silk Test Workbench can recognize it.
|
PlaybackMode
|
OPT_REPLAY_MODE
|
NUMBER
|
Defines how controls are replayed. Use low level to replay each control using the mouse and keyboard. Use high level to use the API to replay each control. All controls have a default playback mode assigned. When the default replay mode is selected, each control uses its default playback mode. The default mode delivers the most reliable results. Selecting low or high level playback overrides the playback mode of all controls with the playback mode selected.
Possible values include 0, 1 and 2. 0 is default, 1 is high level, 2 is low level. By default, this is 0.
|
PostReplayDelay
|
OPT_POST_REPLAY_DELAY
|
NUMBER
|
Specifies the time in milliseconds to wait after invoking a function or setting a property.
|
RemoveFocusOnCaptureText
|
OPT_REMOVE_FOCUS_ON_CAPTURE_TEXT
|
BOOLEAN
|
Set to
Yes to take the focus off the application under test during a text capture. By default, this is set to
No, leaving the focus on the application under test. A text capture is performed during recording and replay by the following methods:
- TextClick
- TextCapture
- TextExists
- TextRect
|
SyncTimeout
|
OPT_SYNC_TIMEOUT
|
NUMBER
|
Specifies the maximum time in milliseconds for an object to be ready.
Note: When you upgrade from a
Silk Test version prior to
Silk Test 13.0, and you had set the OPT_XBROWSER_SYNC_TIMEOUT option, the
Options dialog box will display the default value of the OPT_SYNC_TIMEOUT, although your timeout is still set to the value you have defined.
|
TransparentClasses
|
OPT_TRANSPARENT_CLASSES
|
LIST OF STRING
|
To simplify the object hierarchy and to shorten the length of the lines of code in your test scripts and functions, you can suppress the controls for certain unnecessary classes in the following technologies:
- Win32.
- Java AWT/Swing.
- Java SWT/Eclipse.
- Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
Specify the names of any classes that you want to ignore during recording and playback.
|
|
OPT_WPF_CHECK_DISPATCHER_FOR_IDLE
|
BOOLEAN
|
For some WPF applications the
Silk Test synchronization might not work due to how certain controls are implemented, resulting in
Silk Test Workbench not recognising when the WPF application is idle. Setting this option to FALSE disables the WPF synchronization and prevents
Silk Test Workbench from checking the WPF dispatcher, which is the thread that controls the WPF application. Set this option to FALSE to solve synchronization issues with certain WPF applications. By default, this is TRUE.
|
WPFCustomClasses
|
OPT_WPF_CUSTOM_CLASSES
|
LIST OF STRING
|
Specify the names of any WPF classes that you want to expose during recording and playback. For example, if a custom class called
MyGrid derives from the WPF
Grid class, the objects of the
MyGrid custom class are not available for recording and playback.
Grid objects are not available for recording and playback because the
Grid class is not relevant for functional testing since it exists only for layout purposes. As a result,
Grid objects are not exposed by default. In order to use custom classes that are based on classes that are not relevant to functional testing, add the custom class, in this case
MyGrid, to the
OPT_WPF_CUSTOM_CLASSES option. Then you can record, playback, find, verify properties, and perform any other supported actions for the specified classes.
|
WPFPrefillItems
|
OPT_WPF_PREFILL_ITEMS
|
BOOLEAN
|
Defines whether items in a
WPFItemsControl, like
WPFComboBox or
WPFListBox, are pre-filled during recording and playback. WPF itself lazily loads items for certain controls, so these items are not available for
Silk Test Workbench if they are not scrolled into view. Turn pre-filling on, which is the default setting, to additionally access items that are not accessible without scrolling them into view. However, some applications have problems when the items are pre-filled by
Silk Test Workbench in the background, and these applications can therefore crash. In this case turn pre-filling off.
|
XBrowserFindHiddenInputFields
|
OPT_XBROWSER_FIND_HIDDEN_INPUT_FIELDS
|
BOOLEAN
|
Specifies whether to display hidden input fields, which are HTML fields for which the
tag includes
type="hidden". The default value is TRUE.
|
XBrowserSynchronizationMode
|
OPT_XBROWSER_SYNC_MODE
|
STRING
|
Configures the supported synchronization mode for HTML or AJAX. Using the HTML mode ensures that all HTML documents are in an interactive state. With this mode, you can test simple Web pages. If more complex scenarios with Java script are used, it might be necessary to manually script synchronization functions, such as
WaitForObject,
WaitForProperty,
WaitForDisappearance, or
WaitForChildDisappearance. Using the AJAX mode eliminates the need to manually script synchronization functions. By default, this value is set to
AJAX.
|
XBrowserSynchronizationTimeout
|
OPT_XBROWSER_SYNC_TIMEOUT
|
NUMBER
|
Specifies the maximum time in milliseconds for an object to be ready.
Note: Deprecated. Use the option OPT_SYNC_TIMEOUT instead.
|
XBrowserSynchronizationURLExcludes
|
OPT_XBROWSER_SYNC_EXCLUDE_URLS
|
STRING
|
Specifies the URL for the service or Web page that you want to exclude during page synchronization.
Some AJAX frameworks or browser applications use special HTTP requests, which are permanently open in order to retrieve asynchronous data from the server. These requests may let the synchronization hang until the specified synchronization timeout expires. To prevent this situation, either use the HTML synchronization mode or specify the URL of the problematic request in the
Synchronization exclude list setting.
Type the entire URL or a fragment of the URL, such as
http://test.com/timeService or
timeService.
Separate entries by comma, for example:
'VB .NET code
Agent.SetOption(OPT_XBROWSER_SYNC_EXCLUDE_URLS, { "fpdownload.macromedia.com", "fpdownload.adobe.com", "download.microsoft.com" })
