AIRunSettings Object

Description

An object containing the settings for the current test run. These settings enable you to modify test settings during the test run, overriding the global settings defined in Tools > Options > GUI Testing > AI.

IMPORTANT

AI objects are supported in UFT One only when:

  • The UFT One AI Features are installed and AI is enabled in the UFT One options. For details, see the UFT One Help Center.

To retrieve an AIRunSettings object, use the AIUtil.RunSettings property.

The settings in an AIRunSettings object are arranged in child objects, each for a different type of settings. Use the relevant object property to retrieve the child settings objects.

' when identifying a text box using AI. Then it instructs UFT to go back to AI text recognition
AIUtil.RunSettings.TextMatch = micExactMatch
AIUtil("text_box", "username").Type "test"
AIUtil.RunSettings.TextMatch = micAIMatch
