2 CREATING TEST SCRIPTS
Trying Out a Generated Script
Value strings (keyboard input) are visualized onscreen as floating red text until
target window captions are identified (in subsequent nodes) to indicate where
strings are to be input.
Debugging scripts
Windows may fail to be activated and screen synchronizations may fail when
the SilkPerformer Citrix replay encounters different values during replay than
were captured during recording. Sometimes the causes of synchronization
problems are not apparent — they may be due to a change in screen position of
only a single pixel.
More common than screen synchronization failures are windows not being
activated during replay. In such cases the screenshots associated with the
corresponding user actions may explain the fault (sometimes there is no user
fault and a window is activated only sporadically. In such cases you must
remove the associated CitrixWaitForWindow function).
SilkPerformer Citrix replay captures screengrabs when errors occur (the default
setting) and writes these bitmaps to disk. By default the recorder writes
screenshots to the screenshots directory in the project directory. Replay stores
screenshots in the current used result directory. Visual comparison of record and
replay screens can be done best by using bitmap viewing programs.
