General Tab in Project Settings

The General section provides miscellaneous settings for other specific circumstances.

Enable Storyboard

By default, screenshots are automatically added to the Storyboard Tab. When this option is unchecked, a placeholder image is used. Uncheck the option when you want to conserve memory and disk space. The Scale slider adjusts the size of the Storyboard Tab between "10%" and "100%".

WPF

Represents the default application path for WPF tests. Once set, each test will use this path for recording and execution, unless Use default path is unchecked in the WPF test configuration dialog.

Desktop

Represents the default application path for Desktop tests. Once set, each desktop test will use this path for recording and execution in the Desktop test configuration dialog.

Other Settings

Specific settings related to the use and maintenance of the Test Studio project.

Track Active File

This property is useful for large projects, which contain multiple tests. If enabled, this will highlight the currently opened and active test file within the Project Explorer.
