Recording Identifiers for International Applications

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

By default, Silk Test Classic records an object’s caption text as its identifier (ID). With Silk Test Classic you can override this default and specify ASCII-only IDs, where the ID is based on the object’s class and index. This helps to automatically declare English IDs while keeping the tags native.

The identifier has the form ClassnameIndex, where Classname is the 4Test class of the object and Index is an internally generated integer that ensures that identifiers within a window are unique.

To select ASCII-only identifiers:

  1. On the Record Window Declarations dialog box, click Options. The Record Window Declarations Options dialog box opens.
  2. In the Window declaration identifiers area, click Use the 4Test Class.
  3. Click OK. ASCII-only IDs will now be captured when you record new window declarations.
