Note: Silk Test Classic determines which agent to use by detecting whether a locator or
Find or
FindAll command is used. If a locator or
Find or
FindAll command is present,
Silk Test Classic uses the Open Agent. As a result, you do not need to record window declarations for the Open Agent. For calls that use window
declarations, the agent choice is made based on the presence or absence of the locator keyword and on the presence or absence
of
TAG_IS_OPEN_AGENT in a tag or multitag. When a window declaration contains both locators and tags and either could be used for resolving the
window, check or uncheck the
Prefer Locator check box in the
General Options dialog box to determine which method is used.
