SilkTest: Working with services @ Th, 27 December 2007, 16:57
There is an excellent blog post about how to work with Windows Services in SilkTest. You can find it here.
 
However, later author says, that in order to work with services which display names consist of two and more words (e.g. “Windows Time”), you should use their names instead of Display Names.
 
Fortunately, this is not the only one method. Using Name instead of Display Name isn’t that good, because names are short and sometimes it is hard to understand which service is used.
 
In order to work with two and more named services, you can put its name in quotes.
 
LIST OF STRING lsOut
SYS_Execute ("net start ""Windows Time""", lsOut)

ListPrint(lsOut)

TestComplete: Closing Unexpected Windows @ Fr, 21 December 2007, 11:20
TestComplete allows to handle event OnUnexpectedWindow and specify actions you want to perform if this event occurs. For example, when an unhandled exception occurs in the tested application, or database is disconnected, etc.

 

However, this event will work only if unexpected window prevents TestComplete to work with application. In case of non-modal windows, or if the window doesn’t affect tested application, this event will not occur and TestComplete will continue working.

SilkTest: running programs and opening files @ Fr, 30 November 2007, 15:45

There are several ways of the opening different files in SilkTest. In this blog post we'll describe 3 ways and when it is better to use them.

 

A strange behavior of TestComplete was encountered when trying to work with standard IE File Download window. This window appears when user tries to download a file from Internet.


The problem was that TestComplete logged about successful clicking on the Open button, however no expected result happened and window just stayed as though no action was done.
