A RobusTest Automator Run Setting is used while starting an Automation Test Session using the RobusTest Automator.

The default automator run setting consists of the following 3 groups of settings:

| **1. General Settings**
| **2. Appium Settings**
| **3. Performance Settings**

**1. General Settings**

By default, the 'General Settings' section has the following parameters and values:

   **a.** **reset** 
     * default value: **no** 
     * ensures that the app is not reset    

   **b.** **uninstallAppAfterRun** 
     * default value: **yes** 
     * this ensures that the app is uninstalled from the device at the end of the test session

   **c.** **uninstallAppBeforeRun** 
     * default value: **yes** 
     * this ensures that the app, if already installed, is uninstalled from the device at the beginning of a new test session

You can add/modify/delete other parameters to your run setting

**2. Appium Settings**

   This section enables users to customise values for parameters to be passed to the Appium automation framework. This includes various *Appium Desrired Capabilities* such as '**automationName**', '**fullReset**', '**noReset**', etc.

**3. Performance Settings**

This section determines whether the performance metrics of an app needs to be captured or not

   **a.** **monitor** 
     * default value: **false** 
     * if *true*, enables the monitoring of various performance parameters such as Memory, CPU, Network Activity, etc.
