# Desktop Testing with AIQ - Legacy Desktop Designer Reference

This page is retained as a legacy reference for teams that still maintain Desktop Designer assets. For current AIQ authoring, prefer Scenario Editor and the supported desktop testing workflow for the target environment.

## When to use this reference

- Use it only when maintaining an existing Desktop Designer test or troubleshooting an older desktop automation flow.
- For new work, create or migrate tests through the current AIQ workflow instead of starting new Desktop Designer-only content.
- Confirm operating system, driver, browser, and desktop application versions before rerunning older scripts.

## Maintenance guidance

1. Review whether the legacy script is still required.
2. Update selectors, waits, and environment assumptions before execution.
3. Run the test in a controlled environment and capture evidence for any failing step.
4. Document migration candidates so duplicate legacy content can be retired later.

**Obsolete-content note:** The old Desktop Designer terminology is legacy. Keep references only where they explain existing assets that have not yet moved to the current AIQ workflow.
