Setting Agent Options for Web Testing

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

When you first install Silk Test Classic, all the options for Web testing are set appropriately. If, for some reason, for example if you were testing non-Web applications and changed them, you have problems with testing Web applications, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Options > Agent. The Agent Options dialog box opens.
  2. Ensure the following settings are correct.
    Tab Option Specifies Setting
    Timing OPT_APPREADY_TIMEOUT The number of seconds that the agent waits for an application to become ready. Browser extensions support this option. Site-specific; default is 180 seconds.
    Timing OPT_APPREADY_RETRY The number of seconds that the agent waits between attempts to verify that the application is ready. Site-specific; default is 0.1 seconds.
    Other OPT_SCROLL_INTO_VIEW That the agent scrolls a control into view before recording events against it. TRUE (checked); default is TRUE.
    Other OPT_SHOW_OUT_OF_VIEW Enables Silk Test Classic to see objects not currently scrolled into view. TRUE (checked); default is TRUE.
    Verification OPT_VERIFY_APPREADY Whether to verify that an application is ready. Browser extensions support this option. TRUE (checked); default is TRUE.
  3. Click OK. The Agent Options dialog box closes.
