Creating a New Project

The type of project that you select determines the default Silk Test Agent. For Web application projects, the Open Agent is automatically set as the default agent. Silk Test Classic uses the default agent when configuring an application and recording a test case.

  1. In Silk Test Classic, click File > New Project, or click Open Project > New Project on the basic workflow bar. the Create Project dialog box appears.
  2. Type a unique name for the project into the Project Name field. If the project name already exists, you are prompted to specify a different project name or overwrite the existing project. Project files with a .vtp (Verify Test Project) extension, projectname.vtp, and a projectname.ini are created in the directory that you specify in the Save in text box.
  3. Click OK. Silk Test Classic creates a <Project name> folder within the specified directory, saves the projectname.vtp and projectname.ini to this location and copies the extension .ini files, which are appexpex.ini, axext.ini, domex.ini, and javaex.ini, to the extend subdirectory. If you do not want to save your project in the default location, click Browse and specify the folder in which you want to save your project. Silk Test Classic then creates your project and displays nodes on the Files and Global tabs for the files and resources associated with this project.
