Set up environment
This section describes how to configure TruClient's General settings specific to OpenText Functional Testing Lab.
Prepare your environment
To prepare your environment for running a test:
- Make sure you have access to a machine with OpenText Functional Testing Lab, and that the installed version is supported by your version of TruClient. For details, see Help Center.
-
Ensure that cookies are enabled on your Internet browser.
Open the General Settings
The TruClient General Settings dialog box lets you set the OpenText Functional Testing Lab server preferences globally, so that you do not need to configure them separately for each test.
To open the TruClient General Settings dialog box:
- In VuGen, select File > New Script and Solution.
- In the Create a New Script dialog box, under the Single Protocol or Mobile category, select TruClient – Native Mobile and click Create. The new script opens.
- Select Tools > TruClient General Settings. Wait several seconds. If you cannot see the Settings dialog box, click the Show TruClient General Settings button in the notification window to bring it into focus.
-
Click the Digital Lab Settings tab, configure settings, then click Done.
TruClient general settings
All settings you define in the TruClient General Settings dialog box (in the Digital Lab tab) are applied globally to all TruClient - Native Mobile scripts. You only need to configure these settings once. All subsequently created scripts automatically inherit these settings, even after you close VuGen or TruClient.
In VuGen, if you save your script while in TruClient's interactive mode, the settings from the General Setting dialog box overwrite the runtime settings values in the Solution Explorer.

Application - Management |
Initial Replay: Whether to restart or install your applications before the first replay. Iteration. What to do with your applications before and after each iteration: Restart, Install, or Delete. Reinstalling apps ensures their compatibility with the current version of OpenText Functional Testing Lab. This option may not be available if you are using Amazon as a source lab. For example, if your test runs multiple iterations, and you only want to install the apps for the first iteration, but not on subsequent iterations, configure the settings as follows: Initial Replay section: Iteration section: Tip: You can manually install the application after executing the configuration flow by selecting Reinstall the application from the Restart/Reinstall toolbar drop-down |
