Enabling multi-window support to test Functional HTML tests

You can enable multi-window support for Functional HTML tests to record the actions that you perform in multiple windows of the same browser instance. The playing back of the test finds controls from all the active windows of the browser instance. You can use this capability when an HTML application opens a new browser window after you perform an action from the parent window of the application.

Before you begin

You must have enabled the browser from Preferences. For information, see related links.
