The tabs of the
Result window function as filters that allow you to quickly view specific types of steps of a visual test or code lines of a script.
The
Passed,
Failed,
Flags, and
Details tabs all organize and display content by using the panes of the
Visual Navigator. They differ in the type of content found in each tab. The
Details tab contains every step or code line. The
Passed tab contains only passed verifications. The
Failed tab contains only failed verifications. And the
Flags tab contains only flagged result steps.
The
Result window contains the following tabs:
- Summary tab
- When you open a result, this tab is displayed by default. To change the default result view, modify the
Default Result View option from the General options. The
Summary tab displays a high-level overview report with the following information:
-
Overall result for run – Indicates 'Passed' if the visual test or script played back successfully and met the result pass criteria percentage), 'Failed' if it did not meet the result pass criteria percentage, and 'Playback Error' if a step did not perform successfully.
- Browser - The following information is displayed in this row if the test was executed against a web application:
- The browser on which the test was executed.
- The browser version.
- The operating system of the mobile device, emulator, or simulator, along with the version. This information is only displayed if the test was executed against a mobile web application.
- The name of the mobile device, the emulator, or the simulator. This information is only displayed if the test was executed against a mobile web application.
- The name of the machine to which the mobile device is connected, or on which the emulator or simulator is running, on which the browser test was executed. This information is only displayed if the test was executed against a mobile web application.
- Device - The following information is displayed in this row if the test was executed against a native mobile application.
- The name of the mobile device, the emulator, or the simulator.
- The operating system of the mobile device, emulator, or simulator, along with the version.
- The name of the machine to which the mobile device is connected, or on which the emulator or simulator is running.
- Mobile application - The full path to the mobile application against which the test was executed. This information is only displayed if the test was executed against a native mobile application.
-
Reason for abort – Displays the reason playback of a visual test or script was aborted.
-

-
Result description – Displays the description of the result.
-
Visual tests or
Scripts – Lists all the visual tests or scripts that ran successfully as part of the playback, including inserted visual tests or scripts that ran using the
Workbench.RunScript( ) method. For example, a driver script could run several scripts in one playback.
-
Verifications passed – The total number of verifications in all visual tests or scripts that executed successfully and passed. Click the number in this field to open
Passed tab from which you can view all passed verifications.
-
Verifications failed – The total number of verifications in all visual tests or scripts that executed successfully but failed. Click the number in this field to open
Failed tab from which you can view all failed verifications.

- Passed tab
- Displays verifications that passed during playback.
- Failed tab
- Displays verifications that failed during playback. Steps that result in a playback error do not appear on this tab.
- Flags tab
- Displays any flagged steps in the result. You can insert a flag in the step of a result by manually inserting it after the result has been created or by using verification logic that inserts a flag during playback of a visual test. The
Flags tab dynamically displays all flagged steps in the result. For example, after inserting a flag in either of the
Passed,
Failed, or
Details tabs,
Silk Test Workbench automatically updates the
Flags tab to display the flagged step.
Note: Flagged steps in a visual test do not appear in this tab after playback. Only steps flagged in the result and flags inserted by verification logic appear in the
Flags tab of a result. Flags are not available for scripts.
- Details tab
- Displays information about every step of a visual test or each code line in a script. For example the name of the test step or code line, the pass/fail status, a description, and flag status. For keyword-driven tests, the
Details tab displays the steps of any keywords that are included in the keyword-driven tests and are implemented as visual tests. The
Details tab also displays playback details. If an error has occurred during playback, and the visual test or script was called from other visual tests, the playback details include the test steps in the calling visual tests in which the visual test or script was called.
In each of the tabs of the result window, you can select either the
Basic View or the
Advanced View of the
Test Steps pane. The
Advanced View displays additional columns in the
Test Steps pane.
