3) Create: Create automated, reusable tests. Use recording and/ or programming to build test scripts written in Segue’s 4Test language.
4) Run: Select specific tests and execute them against the AUT.
5) Report: Analyze test results and generate defect reports.
6) Track: Track defects in the AUT and perform regression testing.

Q. 6: What is the DOM browser extension?
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.

Virtual Object (VO) browser extension is a SilkTest add-on component for testing Web applications.
VO browser extersion uses sophisticated pattern recognition techniques to identify browser-rendered objects.
The VO extension sees Web pages as they appear visually; it does not read or recognize HTML tags in the Web application code. Instead, the VO extension sees the objects in a Web page; for example, links, tables, images and compound controls the way that you do, regardless of the technology behind them.
