Functional Testing Category

NameDescription
Run Automated Server TestsExecutes functional tests without calculating API coverage and with reporting of traffic for all tests (so reports include a "Test Traffic [All Tests]" section that provides traffic for every test execution—whether or not it was successful). Designed for automated server-based test execution (e.g., via the API or through Parasoft CTP).
Run Web Functional Tests in All  BrowsersExecutes each web scenario in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer (as applicable).
Run Web Functional Tests in  Browser Specified by TestsExecutes each web scenario using the browser playback settings configured in the test scenario’s Browser Playback Options tab. If you have multiple scenarios, each with different browser playback settings, this Test Configuration would run all the scenarios in the designated browser(s).
Run Web Functional Tests in EdgeExecutes each web scenario in Edge. If a web scenario was configured to run only in one or more other browsers, it will not be run.
Run Web Functional Tests in ChromeExecutes each web scenario in Chrome. If a web scenario was configured to run only in one or more other browsers, it will not be run.
Run Web Functional Tests in FirefoxExecutes each web scenario in Firefox. If a web scenario was configured to run only in one or more other browsers, it will not be run.
Run Web Functional Tests in Internet ExplorerExecutes each web scenario in Internet Explorer. If a web scenario was configured to run only in one or more other browsers, it will not be run.
Run Web Functional Tests in SafariExecutes each web scenario in Safari. If a web scenario was configured to run only in one or more other browsers, it will not be run.

Security Category

NameDescription
Run Hybrid Analysis Penetration Tests for Web ApplicationsExecutes penetration testing (using attacks designed for web applications) with runtime error detection. See Penetration Testing for details.

Code Review Category

NameScopeCode Review
Pre-CommitOnly files added or modified locally

For teams who want to review code before it is committed to source control.

To use this Test Configuration, the Code Review Preference Show user assistant during scanner run setting must be enabled so that the author can designate the appropriate reviewer(s). See the Code Review for details.

Post-Commit (Template)All project files modified in the previous day

For teams who want to review code after it is committed to source control.

This Test Configuration must be duplicated and customized prior to use (e.g, to specify author-reviewer mappings). See  the Code Review for details.

Post-Commit (Assign All)All project files modified in the previous day

For teams who want to review code after it is committed to source control.

This Test Configuration can be used without customization. It includes a mapping for the local code review user; it assigns all revisions found in scope (for any author) to the current user.

See the Configuring Test Configurations and Rules for Policies to learn how to develop custom Test Configurations that are tailored to your projects and team priorities.
