1. Do one of the following:

   • Ensure that a GUI test, action, or component is in focus in the document pane.

   • In the Solution Explorer, select a GUI test or component node or one of its child nodes.

2. Select Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Web > General node.

• You can also modify how captured Web pages are displayed in the Active Screen. You do this in the Active Screen pane of the Options dialog box (Tools > Options > GUI Testing tab > Active Screen node). For details, see the section describing Active Screen options in the OpenText Functional Testing User Guide.

• Clicking the Restore Factory Defaults button resets all product settings, including ALM connection information, the recent files list, and anything defined in the Options dialog box, such as startup options, UI layout, GUI, API, and BPT testing options, remote connection credentials, and more.

Modify event recording configuration

• Browser Details Dialog Box

• Web > Page/Frame Options Pane (Options Dialog Box)

• Web > Advanced Pane (Options Dialog Box)

Any specified browsers that may be open while recording or running a test or business component are ignored. This option enables you to keep browsers that are not related to your testing environment open, without having them affect the record or run session.

For example, you may want to check your company's share price or the news headlines during a record and run session. If you instruct the record and run session to ignore these specific browsers, they do not affect the session.

• Browsers that match the defined criteria at the start of a record or run session are ignored. However, browsers that do not match the defined criteria at the start of a record or run session, but do match them during the session, are not ignored.

• Changes made to these settings apply to new tests or business components and new steps in existing tests or business components only, but not to any other existing steps.

• When working with tests, browsers are ignored only if you selected Record and run test on any open Web browser in the Web tab of the Record and Run Settings dialog box. For details, see Web Tab (Record and Run Settings Dialog Box).

Add Browser. Opens the Browser Details Dialog Box, which enables you to add browsers to the Ignore the following browsers list.

Modify Browser Details. If you selected a browser from the Ignore the following browsers list, this option opens the Browser Details Dialog Box, which enables you to edit the details of the selected browser.

Remove Browser. Removes the selected browser from the list if you no longer want it to be ignored during a record or run session.

If a browser in the list is required for running a specific test, you can temporarily remove it from the list by clearing the check mark next to its name in the list of browsers.

All instances of ALM that are opened while recording or running a test or business component are ignored. By default, this option is selected.

A specified number of seconds is added to the page load time property specified in each Page checkpoint. (Page checkpoints are not relevant for keyword components.)

This option is a safeguard that prevents page checkpoints from failing in the event that the amount of time it takes for a page to load during the run is longer than the amount of time it took during the record session.

Only broken links that are targeted to your current host are checked.

A special mechanism is used when running web tests, which improves the performance of the test run.

The acceleration is particularly noticeable when you use VRI to identify objects and when you include screen captures in run results.

By default, this option is enabled.

You can modify this setting for a specific test run by using Setting.Item("WebFastRunMode")=True in your test to turn on the option and Setting.Item("WebFastRunMode")=False to turn it off. For details on using the Setting Object, see the OpenText Functional Testing Object Model Reference.
