About Deploying the Custom Toolkit Support

From the OpenText Functional Testing user's perspective, after you deploy the toolkit support set on a computer on which OpenText Functional Testing is installed, the toolkit support set can be used as an OpenText Functional Testing add-in.

When OpenText Functional Testing opens, it displays the toolkit support set's environment name in the Add-in Manager, as a child node under the WPF Add-in node. Select the check box for your environment to indicate that the toolkit support set that you developed should be loaded.

Silverlight extensibility:

  • OpenText Functional Testing 2022 and later: Following the discontinuance of the Silverlight development framework, OpenText Functional Testing no longer supports the Silverlight Add-in by default.

    If you need to use and extend the Silverlight Add-in, contact OpenText Support.

  • Toolkit support sets that you develop using Silverlight Add-in Extensibility are dependent on the Silverlight Add-in. Therefore, if you select the environment of such a toolkit support set, select the Silverlight Add-in as well.

If support for your environment is loaded:

  • The controls in your environment are recognized and tests can run on them.

  • The name of your environment is displayed in all of the dialog boxes that display lists of add-ins or supported environments.

  • The list of test object classes defined by your toolkit support set is displayed in dialog boxes that display the list of test object classes available for each add-in. (For example: Define New Test Object dialog box, Object Identification dialog box.)
