General Recorder page
You use the General Recorder page to indicate options for recording Functional Test scripts, such as excluding an executable from being recorded and setting the delay before recording a mouse action or a keystroke. You can also select or clear the option to open the test object map if there is a new test object in the application.
This page has the following controls:
Record Test Object relative Verification Point -- When selected, the test object details are not recorded while inserting the verification points.
Maximum identifier length-- Option to control the maximum number of characters used in a Test Object identifier in the script.
Delay before recording a mouse action -- Sets the delay from the end of a mouse action to the command that appears in the recording monitor. A shorter delay may limit the quality of recording of actions that cause state changes. A value of 0.0 causes a delay until the beginning of the next action. If the value is lower than the double-click interval, Rational® Functional Tester uses the double-click interval.
Delay before recording a keystroke -- Sets the delay from the last keystroke to the inputKeys command that appears in the recording monitor. A value of 0.0 causes a delay until the beginning of the next action.
Restore Defaults -- Restores the default values on this page.
Apply -- Saves your changes without closing the dialog box.
Bring up object map if there is new test object -- When selected, opens the test object map if a test object in the application is not currently in the map.
To open: Click . In the left pane, expand Functional Test and click Recorder.
