SILK TEST

Silk test Questions & Answers

1. What is SilkTest? SilkTest is a software testing automation tool developed by Segue Software, Inc. 2. What is the Segue Testing Methodology? Segue testing methodology is a six-phase testing process: 1. Plan - Determine the testing strategy and define specific test requirements. 2. Capture - Classify the GUI objects in your application and build a framework for running your tests. 3. Create - Create automated, reusable tests. Use recording and/ or

programming to build test scripts written in Segue's 4Test language. 4. Run - Select specific tests and execute them against the AUT. 5. Report - Analyze test results and generate defect reports. 6. Track - Track defects in the AUT and perform regression testing. 3. What is AUT? AUT stands for Application Under Test. 4. What is SilkTest Host? SilkTest Host is a SilkTest component that manages and executes test scripts. SilkTest Host usually runs on a separate machine different than the machine where AUT (Application Under Test) is running. 5. What is SilkTest Agent? SilkTest Agent is a SilkTest component that receives testing commands from the SilkTest Host and interacts with AUT (Application Under Test) directly. SilkTest Agent usually runs on the same machine where AUT is running. 6. What is 4Test? 4Test is a test scripting language used by SilkTest to compose test scripts to perform automated tests. 4Test is an object-oriented fourth-generation language. It consists of 3 sets of functionalities: 1. A robust library of object-oriented classes and methods that specify how a testcase can interact with an applications GUI objects. 2. A set of statements, operators and data types that you use to introduce structure and logic to a recorded testcase. 3. A library of built-in functions for performing common support tasks. 7.What is the DOM browser extension? Document Object Model (DOM) browser extension is a SilkTest add-on component for testing Web applications. DOM browser extension communicates directly with the Web browser to recognize, categorize and manipulate objects on a Web page. It does this by working with the actual HTML code, rather than relying on the visual pattern recognition techniques currently employed by the Virtual Object (VO) extension. 8. What is the VO browser extension? Virtual Object (VO) browser extension is a SilkTest add-on component for testing Web applications. VO browser extersion uses sophisticated pattern recognition techniques to identify browser-rendered objects. The VO extension sees Web pages as they appear visually; it does not read or recognize HTML tags in the Web application code. Instead, the VO extension sees the objects in a Web page;

for example, links, tables, images and compound controls the way that you do, regardless of the technology behind them. 9. What is SilkTest project?

How DOM browser extension identify a Web application UI object? A Web application UI object is identified in two parts: 1. Identify the Web browser window where the Web application is running. For example, a Web browser window can be identified as"Browser.BrowserChild("Yahoo Home Page")". Another Web browser window can be identified as"Browser.BrowserChild("Google Home Page")". 2. Identify the Web UI object based on the HTML element that represents the UI object. For example, an image in a Web page can be identified as "HtmlImage("Yahoo Logo")"; A hyperlink in a Web page can be identified as "HtmlLink("Site Map")"; The full identification of a Web applicatin UI object is the concatenation of the browser window identification and the HTML element identification. For example, the Yahoo logo image is identified as: Browser.BrowserChild("Yahoo Home Page").HtmlImage("Yahoo Logo"). The site map link is identified as: Browser.BrowserChild("Google Home Page").HtmlLink("Site Map"). 26. What is the syntax of UI object identifier used by DOM extension? The DOM browser extension uses the following syntax for Web UI objects: Browser.BrowserChild("page_title").html_class("object_tag") 1. "page_title" is the title of the Web page, defined by the HTML "TITLE" tag. 2. "object_tag" is the label of the HTML element. How a HTML element is labeled depending on the type of HTML element. 27. What is multi-tagging? Multi-tagging is a technique used by the DOM browser extension to identify a Web page UI object. Whenever possible, DOM extension inserts more than one tag into the object identifier in following format:

Browser.BrowserChild("page_title").html_class("caption_tag|#index_tag|window_tag") 1. "caption_tag" is the caption of the HTML element. 2. "#index_tag" is the index of this HTML element, counting from the beginning of this page of the same class of HTML elements. 3. "window_tag" is the window identifier. 28. How to add objects of other pages to a test frame? If your Web application has pages other than the home page, you should also record their page objects into the test frame: 1.
