Managing Scripts with the Certify Utilities Interface Tool

With the Certify Utilities Interface tool, only Certify administrators can create, import, modify, test, export, and delete user scripts. This topic will show you how to do the following tasks with the Certify Utilities Interface tool:

• Create a new script.
• Import a script.
• Test a script.
• Export a script.

Worksoft provides two example scripts that can be imported from the following directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Worksoft\Certify\Interface Client\Worksoft\wsTest\Utilities

Supported Code Tokens

Listed below are supported Certify code tokens:

• GetArgument(0-4) = Get one or more of the five parameters passed.
• SetReturnValue() = Set the interface return value.
• Quit(1) = Set the step status for FAIL.

  If the step status is PASS, the SetReturnValue() will be setting the interface return value or interface error message.
