Can SilkTest switch browsers automatically?

You can, but there's a few steps that need to be done.
You need to use Organizer to do this. There you can re-run the same testcases but at the top open a different .opt (options) file. You have to save these 2 opt files though after you set the runtime with Netscape, save the 1st one and save another after you set it up with IE.
