Click OK on the Test Passed dialog. If you were testing your own
application, you would probably then configure the recovery system,
which creates a frame file automatically; see the online Help for details.
However, for the purpose of this tutorial, we'll use a frame file that is
delivered with SilkTest.
Specifying the Use Files
The Use Files specifies the names of one or more include files for SilkTest to
automatically load at startup. This means that SilkTest is able to use the
object descriptions, as declared in these .inc files, to recognize the GUI
objects in your application
When you record a test frame, the full path of the test frame is automatically
added to the Use Files text box. However, for the purpose of this tutorial you
will be using a test frame, gmow.inc, that can be found in <SilkTest
installation directory>/Exercise. You will learn more about the test frame
when you create your own in
Chapter 4, "Capturing Your Application"
.
For now, you will need to manually tell SilkTest where to find the gmow.inc
file when SilkTest starts. You do this through the Runtime Options dialog.

In SilkTest, click Options/Runtime.
