Default browser in playback for the first time should show the same browser as recording

[Environment]

RFT 10.5.1(WebUI perspective)


[Description]

Default browser in playback for the first time should show the same browser as recording(RTW_WebUI_Browser_Selection setting).


Actual behavior:

For example, when try following steps,

(1) Start recording with Edge

(2) record any web application and steps

(3) close edge browser


in test variable in the script, browser which is used in recording, is set like RTW_WebUI_Browser_Selection = "Edge".

See default_browser1.jpg


However, default broser in playback is not Edge though RTW_WebUI_Browser_Selection variable is "Edge"

See default_browser2.jpg


Expected behavior:

Default browser in playback for the first time shows the same browser as RTW_WebUI_Browser_Selection setting.


I know it remembers a browser from next playback after I changed it but I wish that it changes depending on RTW_WebUI_Browser_Selection setting from the first playback.

    Also I hope you will be able to consider about compound test.

    For example, a compound test uses (1) or (2).
    (1) browser when recorded browsers of all tests under a compound test are the same
    (2) recorded browesr of the first test under a compound test

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
