Setting general options

Set general options to specify preferences for startup, recording or running scripts, and working with files in QA Wizard Pro.

1. Choose Tools > Options.

The Options dialog box opens.

2. Select any options on the General tab.

Option	Use to:
Show Welcome to QA Wizard Pro at startup	Automatically display the welcome dialog box when you start QA Wizard Pro.
Open last workspace by default at startup	Automatically open the last used workspace when you start QA Wizard Pro. Do not clear this option if you generally use the same workspace.
Allow editing of read-only files	Edit read-only files with QA Wizard Pro. You typically should not need to edit read-only files because changes could affect other files, but you can select this option if you need to test changes only in a local copy. For example, select this option to edit files under source control that are not checked out.
Update preview images when recording	Always update screenshots captured during recording.
Send usage statistics to Perforce	Send information about the QA Wizard Pro installation to Perforce. This information helps us improve QA Wizard Pro and solve application issues. See Usage statistics.
Default script editor view	Set Keyword View or Text View as the default to open scripts in. Select the view you most frequently use.
Licenses	Specify the license type to use if multiple licenses are available. Use full engine license provides access to all functionality. Use run-time engine license only allows you to run scripts and verify results. Run-time licenses may be available if you upgraded from QA Wizard Pro 2015.0 or earlier. They are generally used for remote testing or by users who only run scripts. If a run-time license is not available, QA Wizard Pro uses the full engine license.
Use SSL encryption for Chrome extension communication	Always use SSL encryption when testing web applications in Google Chrome. When enabled, a self-signed certificate is automatically added to the browser Trusted Root Certification Authorities store the first time you record or run a script in Chrome. SSL encryption is required for Chrome HTTPS support. Only clear this option if your company enforces trusted certificate authority restrictions and you do not want QA Wizard Pro to add root certificates to the certificate store. The root certificate is automatically removed from the store when SSL encryption is disabled. You must close all instances of Chrome and restart QA Wizard Pro for changes to SSL encryption to take effect. Not available on Windows Vista.
