You can open the test result preference page by selecting Test - Test Results from the preference dialog.

Figure 3.36. Test Result Preference Dialog

1. Choose whether you want the Test Result View to open when testing begins.

   The Test Result View follows the test execution and shows which Test Steps were successful and which failed.

2. Choose whether you want to track the test execution progress in the Test Result View. When this option is activated, the Test Result View scrolls to follow the test progress.

3. Choose whether you want to automatically create a screenshot when a test encounters an error. Screenshots are automatically saved in the database and can be viewed using the Image View when you select the failed Test Step in the Test Result View.

   You can see the position of the mouse pointer on the screenshot. The mouse position is shown as a square inverted-color area, with the middle pixel being the position of the mouse pointer. To reproduce the original image, you select the area and invert the colors in an image-editing tool.

   | Screenshots are only taken of the primary monitor. Multiple monitors are not supported for screenshots.

4. Choose whether you want to create HTML and XML reports for each execution. When you activate this choice, decide whether you want full reports or just the errors to be shown. Enter a directory for the reports.

5. Choose whether you want to create Monitoring reports for each execution. Reports will be created in the report directory.

6. Enter the amount of days that test result summaries should be displayed for. This gives you a better overview of the most recent results in the Test Result Summary View.
