Modify Playback Results options to set the default result name, result numbering formula, pass criteria percentage, and whether to save all information.

  1. Click Tools > Options.
  2. Click the plus sign (+) next to Playback in the Options menu tree. The Playback subcategories appear.
  3. Click Results. The Results options appear in the right pane.
  4. Set the options for your environment:
    Default result name

    Enter a name to use as the result name for every result. Leave this field empty to use the name of the visual test or test script as the result name.

    Result option

    Select from the following list:

    • Save results with a new run number – Results from the playback of a visual test or test script are saved with a new incremental run number. For example, a new result is saved with a run number of 1. Subsequent results for the same visual test or test script are saved with run numbers of 2, 3, 4, etc. This is the default selection.

    • Append results to current run number – Results from the current playback are appended to the results of the latest existing run number. A new run number is not created. This option only appears with an existing result.

    • Overwrite existing run number with new results – Results from the current playback overwrite the results of the latest existing run number. A new run number is not created. This option only appears with an existing result.

    • Do not save this result – Results are not created when playing back a visual test or test script.

    Result pass criteria (percentage)

    Sets a user-defined percentage of passed verifications as the criteria to define the success of all future runs. For example, a result pass criteria of 90% means that at least 9 out of 10 verifications in a visual test must pass for the result of the playback to pass.

    Save all information

    Determines whether to save all information in a result about the playback of a visual test or only summary and error information.

  5. Optional: Click Save As to save your settings for the Playback options as a group.
  6. Click OK.
