Code View

Variables

Depending on variable type—either simple value type or complex object—

variables are either shown as simple types (no actions allowed) or as objects for

which you can invoke all methods on the variable object (e.g., methods on

java.lang.String).

String values are represented as complex objects that allow you to call all

methods of the java.lang.String class.

Code View

Code view displays generated code files for the current test scenario. The

following code types are available:

Test code for

standalone test

drivers

This view displays the Java code generated for the test driver. This code can be

compiled to a standalone console application. The main method for the

application contains the calls to the test cases that are defined in your current test

scenario. The test case methods contain all the calls that you have defined in

your scenario for the respective test case.

When you export a standalone console application (via the Export menu) and

then run the application, you will see output information regarding successful/

failed methods in the console window.

Test code for

SilkPerformer Java

Framework

When exporting a SilkPerformer Java Framework project, the following files

are generated:

• SilkPerformer project file (.ltp)

• SilkPerformer script file (.bdf)

• Java test script (.java)

This view displays the Java test script code for SilkPerformer’s Java

Framework. Java Framework code run by SilkPerformer enables you to execute

Java scripts via BDL.

For each test case in your current test scenario, Java Explorer generates a

separate BDL transaction in the test script.

BDL script When exporting a SilkPerformer Java Framework project, the following files

are generated:

• SilkPerformer project file (.ltp)

• SilkPerformer script file (.bdf)

• Java test script (.java)

This view displays the BDL script code for SilkPerformer Java Framework. The

generated BDL executes the Java test script with the settings stored in the

SilkPerformer project file.
