Execution using Browser Capabilities

Selenium allows you setting desired browser specific properties to be used when executing test cases. These properties can be set for offline execution as well. You can provide these browser specific details through browser-capability files. For each supported browser (Firefox, IE, Google Chrome, and Safari) there is a separate property file present in the Config folder of Qualitia's offline package. Following is the list of files;

• firefoxdc.properties
• googlechromedc.properties
• iexploredc.properties
• safaridc.properties

Each property file above is a set of all the browser specific properties that Selenium allows you change. If you do not change any property, Selenium uses its default values.

Changing Browser Capabilities

Selenium uses its own settings for each key that has been commented in the file, except unexpectedAlertBehaviour. Changing properties here overrides the values provided in qualitia.properties/sauce.properties, or selenium's default values. When executing test cases using offline package, you can change some property values providing command line arguments accordingly. But all capability keys do not accept values from command line, hence it is recommended providing values through property files.

To change browser capabilities:

1. Open the browserdc.properties file from the config folder of Qualitia Bot.
2. Locate the value you want to change in the file.
3. Remove the # sign located prior to the capability.
4. Enter the value you want to set for the capability.

For example; if you want to change the version of the browser to be used for test execution, remove the # sign located prior to the version and enter the version number against it.

Qualitia gives you provision to set these values for Selenium. Selenium has its own control on what value to use and how to reflect them in Execution Browser. For more information about Selenium Capabilities, refer following links:
