Updating Captured Screens Using Screens Recorded During Playback
From the
Screen Preview of a visual test or result, you can quickly update previously captured screens for a screen test step. Captured images represent
the state of the application before its associated step is executed.
Open the result of a visual test.
In the
Test Steps pane, select the step with the screen requiring updating or click the Storyboard thumbnail containing the screen.
To update only the current step, choose
Actions > Update Screen from the
Screen Preview or the
Test Steps pane.
Silk Test Workbench opens the visual test, displays the updated screen in the
Screen Preview, and displays a confirmation message box asking if you want to update the screen item in the visual test. For this feature
to work, the result and visual test must have the same name. If you rename a visual test, you must rename its result as well.
Otherwise
Silk Test Workbench does not find the visual test when you attempt to update the screen item in the visual test.
Note: Before updating a screen test step, you can view the differences between the screen captured during recording and the screen
captured during playback, by choosing
Actions > Show Differences > Side by Side.
Click
Yes to update the visual test with the screen captured during playback.
The visual test opens.
To update all screens in the visual test, choose
Actions > Update All Screens from the
Screen Preview or the
Test Steps pane.
For this feature to work, the result and the visual test must have the same name. If you rename a visual test, you must rename
its result as well. Otherwise
Silk Test Workbench does not find the visual test when you attempt to update the screen item in the visual test.
Check the
Return to Result check box on the confirmation message box to display the
Result window after you click
Yes.
