How user information is stored

This topic describes how Sprinter saves your settings and configurations, and how it applies this information the next time you run Sprinter.

Saved settings and configurations

When you run Sprinter, your settings and configurations are saved in the Application Lifecycle Management project, per-user (as unique information for each unique Application Lifecycle Management user in each project). Additionally, it is saved to your local computer, per Windows user profile. If you do not have an ALM license, the information is only saved on your local computer per Windows user profile.

The next time you run Sprinter, it applies these saved settings and configurations, if they are available. Some information is saved and applied per-user and some information is saved and applied depending on the application defined for your test.

  • If you do not have permissions to modify resources in Application Lifecycle Management, all your test settings and configurations are saved for your user profile on your local computer only.
