Specifying Runtime Options

Use the Define Runtime Options (PSPTTSTEXEOPTIONS) page to define PTF options for running tests.

Navigation:

PeopleTools, and then Lifecycle Tools, and then Test Framework, and then PTF Runtime Options

This example shows the Runtime Options component - Options page in PIA:

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Define Runtime Options page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

The fields on the Define Runtime Options page are the same as the fields on the Options tab in the PTF client, with the exception that you cannot modify passwords on the PeopleSoft application component.

Field or Control	Description
Prompt	Specify whether the Runtime Options dialog appears when a user runs a test.
Application URL	Enter the URL of the login page for the PeopleSoft application. PeopleSoft Test Framework uses this URL for the Browser.Start_Login step type/action when running tests and when you click the Home icon (to start the web client and go to the default URL) in the test recorder.
Browser	The options are Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. For test playback, you can use all these options. For recording test script, PTF is designed in such a way that it launches: Chrome-based PTF recorder, if you select Chrome as the browser. Microsoft Edge-based recorder, if you select Microsoft Edge as the browser. Chrome is the default value for browser. If you continue with the default value, the recording and test playback will happen in Chrome.
User ID	Enter a valid user ID for the application database.
Password	This field is unavailable for entry. The password must be specified using the Runtime Options dialog in the PTF client. For more information, see Configuring Runtime Options in PTF Client
Process Server	Select a process server from the drop-down list. This list is populated by the Process Server List field in the Configuration Options page.
Date Format	Select a date format.
Skip Language	Select Yes to bypass the language selection on the PeopleSoft application login page.
Form Factor	Select the form factor size to use when launching the application.
Log Folder	Select or enter the folder name to which test logs will be written. If the folder does not exist it will be created.
Verbose	Specify the log format. Select Yes to log a detail line for each step that is executed in the test. Select No to log only the test status (Pass or Fail) at the test level and to log a detail line for failed steps.
