Implementing Silk Central Keywords in Silk Test Workbench

Before implementing Silk Central keywords, define the keywords as part of a keyword-driven test in Silk Central.

To implement a Silk Central keyword in Silk Test Workbench:

  1. Create a project in Silk Test Workbench with the same name as the keyword library in Silk Central, which includes the keyword-driven test.
  2. If the keyword library in Silk Central has no type assigned, click Tools > Upload Keyword Library to set the library type.
  3. Optional: To implement a specific keyword in Silk Test Workbench from Silk Central, open the Keywords tab of the library in Silk Central and click Implement with Silk Test in the Actions column of the keyword.
  4. In Silk Test Workbench, click View > Keywords.
  5. In the Keywords window, double-click the keyword-driven test. To update the Keywords window with any changes from Silk Central, click Refresh.
  6. In the toolbar, click Record Actions.
  7. If you have set an application configuration for the current project and you are testing a Web application, the Select Browser dialog box opens. Select the browser on which you want to record the keyword.
  8. Record the actions for the first unimplemented keyword.
  9. When you have recorded all the actions for the current keyword, click Next Keyword.
  10. To switch between keywords in the Recording window, click Previous Keyword and Next Keyword.
  11. Click Stop. The Record Complete dialog box opens.
Note: You cannot delete keywords or change the sequence of the keywords in a keyword-driven test from Silk Central, as these tests are read only in Silk Test Workbench.
