[原创] SilkTest问题与回答 第一部分--中英文对照翻译

1. What is the Silk Testing Methodology?
什么是silk 测试方式
silk testing methodology is a six-phase testing process:
silk的测试方式由一个6层次的测试进程组成的：
--Plan - Determine the testing strategy and define specific test requirements.
计划—决定测试的策略和定义特定的测试需求
--Capture - Classify the GUI objects in your application and build a framework for running your tests.
捕捉—把GUI对象在你的应用程序中归类并且建立运行测试的框架
--Create - Create automated, reusable tests. Use recording and/ or programming to build test scripts written in 4Test language.
创建—建立自动的，能重复使用的测试。使用录制和/或者编写4test语言程序来建立测试脚本
--Run - Select specific tests and execute them against the AUT.
运行—选择特定的测试并且相对被测程序执行
--Report - Analyze test results and generate defect reports.
报告—分析测试结果和产生缺陷报告
--Track - Track defects in the AUT and perform. regression testing.
追踪—在被测程序中追踪缺陷并且执行回归测试

2. What is SilkTest Host?
Silktest host是什么
SilkTest Host is a SilkTest component that manages and executes test scripts. SilkTest Host usually runs on a separate machine different than the machine where AUT (Application Under Test) is running.
Silktest主机是silktest的部件，此部件管理和执行测试脚本。Silktest host通常运行在一个与运行被测程序机器不同的另外一个的机器上。

3. What is SilkTest Agent?
SilkTest Agent is a SilkTest component that receives testing commands from the SilkTest Host and interacts with AUT (Application Under Test) directly. SilkTest Agent usually runs on the same machine where AUT is running.
Silktest agent是一个silktest的部件，用于接收来自silk test host的测试命令，并且和AUT（在被测试的程序）直接交互。Silktest agent通常运行和被测试的程序运行于同一个机器上。

4. What is 4Test?
4Test is a test scripting language used by SilkTest to compose test scripts to perform. automated tests. 4Test is an object-oriented fourth-generation language. It consists of 3 sets of functionalities:
4test是silktest使用的一个测试脚语言本，用于编辑可执行自动测试的测试脚本。4test是一个面对对象的第4代语言， 其包括3套个功能
--A robust library of object-oriented classes and methods that specify how a testcase can interact with an application GUI objects.
一个健全的的面对对象类库，其指定了测试案例与应用程序界面上的对象如何交互的功能
--A set of statements, operators and data types that you use to introduce structure and logic to a recorded testcase.
一系列的statement, operator还有数据类型，你可以其用来把架构和逻辑导入至录制了的测试案例中
-- A library of built-in functions for performing common support tasks.
一个内置执行普通支持任务功能的类库

5. What is the DOM browser extension?
什么是DOM浏览器扩展
Document Object Model (DOM) browser extension is a SilkTest add-on component for testing Web applications. DOM browser extension communicates directly with the Web browser to recognize, categorize and manipulate objects on a Web page. It does this by working with the actual HTML code, rather than relying on the visual pattern recognition techniques currently employed by the Virtual Object (VO) extension.
文件对象模型DOM浏览器扩展是一个silktest为测试网页程序的附加部件。DOM浏览器扩展与网页浏览器直接通讯，是用在网页上识别归类和操作对象。它作用于实际的HTML代码，而不是依赖于当前使用的虚拟对象扩展上的视觉模式识别技术，
