Editing a Keyword-Driven Test

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

Note: In Silk Test Classic, you can edit and execute keyword-driven tests that are located in Silk Test Classic, and you can execute keyword-driven tests that are stored in Silk Central. To edit a keyword-driven test, which is stored in Silk Central, open the keyword-driven test in the Keyword-Driven Test Editor and click Edit.

To edit a keyword-driven test:

Open the keyword-driven test in the Keyword-Driven Test Editor.
1. Click File > Open and browse for the keyword-driven test. If the test is included in a project, you can also expand the Keyword Tests node and double-click on the keyword-driven test that you want to edit.
2. Click Keyword-Driven Test.
To add a new keyword to the keyword-driven test:
1. Click into the New Keyword field.
2. Type a name for the new keyword.
3. Press Enter.
To edit an existing keyword, click Open Keyword to the left of the keyword.
Note: Silk Central has the ownership of any keyword that has been created in Silk Central, which means any changes that you make to such keywords are saved in Silk Central, not in Silk Test Classic.
To copy a keyword into the keyword-driven test:
1. Select the keyword.
  Tip: Use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click on the row number column to select multiple keywords.
2. Press Ctrl+C.
3. Select the row above which you want to insert the keyword.
4. Press Ctrl+V.
To move a keyword to another location in the keyword-driven test, click on the keyword and drag it to the new location, or:
1. Select the keyword.
  Tip: Use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click on the row number column to select multiple keywords.
2. Press Ctrl+X.
3. Select the row above which you want to insert the keyword.
4. Press Ctrl+V.
To remove the keyword from the keyword-driven test, click Delete Keyword to the left of the keyword. The keyword is still available in the Keywords window and you can re-add it to the keyword-driven test at any time.
To save your changes, click File > Save.
