To ensure that Web Rollermeets the demands of the users, we keep up the work and frequently update the application. Check for the latest installation packages and updates at the Web Roller Downloads page.The Web Roller settings can be configured using the Edit menu. In the Settings dialog you can set up the following parameters:
Proxy settings:
- Proxy host - the host name for Web Roller built-in proxy engine. Defaults to localhost.
- Proxy port - built-in proxy port number. Defaults to 8001.
- Try to disable IE caching checkbox - turn this on if you want to avoid usage of locally stored files by Internet Explorer. With this setting on, Internet Explorer will always try to get the requested resource from Internet, no matter whether there already is a copy in the local IE file cache.
Reporter:
- Max requests in graph - allows to set a limit for the amount of requests used for drawing a single graph. A great amount of charted request may lead to a messy, hardly understandable chart. Default - 50000.
- If exceed: select what to do if the requests limit is exceeded. Either of Do not draw graph or Warn.
Runner:
- Beep when finished checkbox: enable this if you want to hear an audible signal after completing all scheduled test runs.
Record:
- Filters - the list of recorder filters. You can set the recorder to omit the requests including certain text strings (e.g., eliminate Flash clips by adding a filter for the .SWF file extension).
- add filter string;
- delete selected filter string;
- Enable recorder filters checkbox - toggle the use of filters listed above;
- Notify about script creation checkbox - enables an additional alert when you export captured requests from the Record tab. Each time you press the Add to Script button, Web Roller will display the «Requests has been added to script» message. Use the Don't show this message again checkbox if you want to disable further notifications.
General:
- Reopen last project checkbox - tells Web Roller to remember the last project file and automatically open it at next program start.
