Document settings

Relevant for: GUI tests and components

Use the Test or Business Component Settings dialog box or the Additional Settings pane in an application area to set testing options that affect how OpenText Functional Testing works with a specific test or component.

Different panes and settings are available, depending on the document in focus (test, component, or application area), as well as the Add-ins loaded.

To access

  • Have a test open in the document pane, or selected in the solution explorer.

    Select File > Settings.

  • Create or open an application area.
Important information

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.

Most business components inherit settings from the component's application area and are displayed as read-only in the Business Component Settings dialog box.

Note: You can also set testing options that affect all tests and components. For details, see Global options.

The table below lists the panes contained in the Settings dialog box.
