Configuration Settings for a Customer Browser Profile Executions

Qualitia Automation Studio (QAS) supports testing on a custom browser profile for the following browser types:

• Chrome

• Edge

• Firefox

You can use the System Execution Profile to dry run a test case or create a custom execution profile to execute test suites on a specific custom browser profile.

To configure the settings for a custom browser profile:

1. Do one of the following:

   1. To execute on a custom Chrome profile, open a Chrome tab, enter chrome://version/ in its URL address bar, and then copy the Profile Path value.

   2. To execute on a custom Edge profile, open a Edge tab, enter Edge://version/ in its URL address bar, and then copy the Profile Path value.

   3. To execute on a custom Firefox profile, open a Firefox tab, enter about:profiles in its URL address bar, and then copy the Profile Path value.

2. Do one of the following:

   1. Open an existing execution profile that you want to use to execute on a custom browser profile.

   2. Add a custom execution profile.
      Note: For more information on execution profiles, refer to Working with Execution Profiles.

3. Click the Browser tab.

4. From the Browser Type drop-down list, select the associated browser.

5. Paste the Profile Path value, in the Browser Profile Path.
   Note: The last value of the Profile Path value denotes the browser profile name. If the last value you have entered is a different browser profile, edit the desired browser profile in the last value of the Profile Path. For example, in the Profile Path: C:\Users\john.smith\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\JohnS, JohnS indicates the custom Edge profile name.

6. Under EdgeOptions, ChromeOptions, or FirefoxOptions (depending on the selected browser), enter the following value in args:
   --profile-directory=<profile_name>, where profile_name indicates the name of the custom browser profile.

7. Edit any other required settings of the execution profile.

   The required settings in the execution profile is ready to execute the test suites on the custom browser profile.
