Creating Your First Test On Windows Phone Device

Follow the steps below:

Step 1: To start recording a script on a mobile device with the recorder, you need to:

• Connect your mobile device by USB to your computer (for device connectivity instructions please follow our "Connect Device" instructions)

• Have the application instrumented and installed on the device (see "Native Application Instrumentation for Windows Phone").

Step 2: In Silk Mobile go to the "Test" tab and click on the "Record" button.

Step 3: Choose the device to be recorded, and choose the tested application name (for Native Recording)

The recommended way of recording is ' Dynamic Recording ' which can be done by ticking the 'Use dynamic' button.
You can use other options of Recording according to your needs.

Step 4: A progress bar will appear. Silk Mobile prepares the Windows Phone application for testing. Once completed the application will be opened on the device and you can start recording steps of the scenario you want to automate.
