Description

Keyboard shortcuts section

Displays the most important Tricentis ARA shortcuts.

For a full list of keyboard shortcuts, see "Keyboard shortcuts".

Language

Change the language of the Tricentis ARA user interface.

Synchronization timeout (ms)

Specify the synchronization timeout in milliseconds. The synchronization timeout is the maximum amount of time that Tricentis ARA waits for the application to load after interacting with it. This setting only has an effect when you play back your recording.

If you have a slow-loading application and it interferes with your tests, try increasing the synchronization timeout.

The default synchronization timeout is 10 seconds.

Auto-record mouseover

Specify whether Tricentis ARA should record mouseover events automatically.

If this setting is turned off, you can only record mouseover events manually by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+H.

Show hints

Specify whether Tricentis ARA should display hints next to the mouse during recording.

Autosave recording

Specify whether Tricentis ARA should automatically save the recording after each change you make. Tricentis ARA saves up to 10 files. By default, these files are saved in the folder %USERPROFILE%\Documents\ARA Recordings\AutoSaves.

If Tricentis ARA crashed, relaunch Tricentis ARA and click Recover Recording to recover the most recent autosave.

Blacklist section

Define which applications Tricentis ARA should ignore. Tricentis ARA does not record your interactions with the applications that you define here.

To blacklist an application, click Add while working in the application with Tricentis ARA.
