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.
Ensure that you have created the custom browser profile on your computer.
To configure the settings for a custom browser profile:
Do one of the following:
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.
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.
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.
Do one of the following:
Open an existing execution profile that you want to use to execute on a custom browser profile.
Add a custom execution profile.
Note: For more information on execution profiles, refer to Working with Execution Profiles.
Click the Browser tab.
From the Browser Type drop-down list, select the associated browser.
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, if the Profile Path is C:\Users\john.smith\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\JohnS, the last value JohnS is the custom Edge profile name.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.Edit any other required settings of the execution profile.

Before executing a test case or a test suite on the custom browser profile, ensure that you close all the instances of the associated browser.
