Silk Test Classic provides built-in for testing stand-alone Java applications developed using supported Java virtual machines and for testing Java applets using supported browsers. You must configure Silk Test Classic Java support before using it. When you configure a Java AWT/Swing application or applet, Silk Test Classic automatically provides support for testing standard Java AWT/Swing controls. You can also test Java SWT controls embedded in Java AWT/Swing applications or applets as well as Java AWT/Swing controls embedded in Java SWT applications.
You can test Java AWT/Swing applications using the Classic Agent or the Open Agent. When you create a new Java AWT/Swing project, Silk Test Classic uses the Open Agent by default. However, you can use both the Open Agent and the Classic Agent within a single Java AWT/Swing environment. Certain functions and methods run on the Classic Agent only. As a result, if you are running an Open Agent project, the Classic Agent may also open because a function or method requires the Classic Agent.
When you are using the Classic Agent to test Java AWT/Swing applications, Silk Test Classic uses the Sun JDK by default.
