Extensions that Must be Set Manually

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

Using the Basic Workflow, Silk Test Classic can automatically enable extensions for many different development environments. If the Basic Workflow does not support your configuration or you prefer to enable extensions manually, enable the extension on your host machine and enable the extension on your target machine, regardless of whether the application you plan to test will run locally or on remote machines. Enable extensions manually if you:

If you are testing Web applications using the Classic Agent, Silk Test Classic enables the extension associated with the default browser you specified on the Select Default Browser dialog box during the Silk Test Classic installation. If you want to use the extension you specified during the Silk Test Classic installation, you do not need to complete this procedure unless you need additional options, such as Accessibility, Java, or ActiveX.

If you are not testing Java but do have Java installed, we recommend that you disable the classpath before using Silk Test Classic.

Silk Test Classic automatically enables Java support in the browser if your web page contains an applet. The Enable Applet Support check box on the Extension Settings dialog for browser is automatically selected when the Enable Extensions workflow detects an applet. You can uncheck the check box to prevent Silk Test Classic from loading the extension. If no applet is detected, the check box is not available.
