Preferences

Settings > Preferences holds the account-wide feature toggles. A change here applies to every project, and several of these gate features documented elsewhere, so a feature that appears missing is often a toggle that is off.

Execution and healing

Preference	What it does
Auto Healing	Corrects an element automatically during a run when it fails, by identifying what changed in the new build. See Elements
Generative AI Autoheal	Uses generative AI to heal broken element locators during execution
Test case level multi driver session	Allows naming and running several driver sessions within a single test case. The launch app step then exposes a session name field for local executions

Who can stop an execution

Control Who can Stop Executions is off by default, which means anyone can stop any execution. Turning it on splits that by role:

Account Administrators and Super Administrators can stop any execution, from Usage Details or Run Results
Test Managers, Test Leads, and Automation Engineers can view every execution but can stop only the executions and inspector sessions they started themselves

Screenshots and reports

Preference	What it does
Highlight element in screenshot	Marks the object a step interacted with, so a screenshot shows what the step touched. Applies only to web steps that contain an element
Screenshot with timestamp	Overlays each execution screenshot with its capture time
Detailed accessibility report	Puts a highlighted screenshot in the accessibility PDF for every occurrence of an issue. Off means a brief report with one sample screenshot per issue
Design Visual Validations	Compares execution screenshots against Figma design assets. Needs the Figma integration configured

Review management

A parent toggle with 3 children, all off by default:

Test Case Review Management: lets Test Managers review test cases and share feedback in one place
Element Review Management: lets Test Managers review elements
Self-Review Management: lets test developers review their own test cases and elements

See Review management.

Web accessibility testing

Web Accessibility Testing - Step level: runs accessibility checks on the steps you enable them for
Web Accessibility Testing - Plan level: deprecated. It ran checks for a whole test plan

See Accessibility testing.

Generative AI

A parent toggle with 3 children:

Generative AI features in Recorder: Copilot’s step generation inside the recorder
Generate test cases from Swagger schema: API test case generation from a .json, .wsdl, or .xml schema
Generate Test Data Profile: the Test Data Generator agent

Agentic AI

A parent toggle covering the agents, described as generating, maintaining, planning, and analyzing your tests.

Autonomous Testing: agents analyze run results, identify the issues, and create bug reports
Generator (Live App): the Generator agent learns your live application and creates executable test cases from business requirements

Analyzer & Bug Reporter is a separate toggle rather than a child of Agentic AI, and it gates the Analyzer and Bug Reporter agents.

See AI agents and Agentic execution.

Copilot and recorder extension

This one is a radio group rather than a toggle, and it decides how the recorder extension reaches the browser Testsigma launches for a Copilot session.

Mode	How the extension is loaded
Automatic	Testsigma loads its bundled recorder extension into the browser on every session. The default
Managed profile	The Chrome Web Store extension is installed once into a Testsigma-managed browser profile and reused across sessions
Your own browser profile	Sessions run in a browser profile your team manages, and the recorder extension has to be installed in that profile

See Copilot.

Asset delivery

Preference	What it does
Use asset proxy	Routes test assets through the Testsigma asset proxy instead of accessing them directly from storage
Use CDN signed URLs	Serves test assets through time-limited signed CDN URLs
