Switch to Messages after a Successful CompileThis option switches to the helper messages if the last compile was successful.

Clear Messages After Period of Time (seconds) - This allows the message list to be cleared if the last compile was more than the specified period of time ago. If you do not want the messages cleared set this to 0 (zero).

Shortcuts

This list view allows you wo assign IDE shortcuts to all the actions that the Integrated Testing Helper defines in the IDE.

To assign a shortcut, select the action in the list, enter the shortcut in the shortcut edit control below by pressing the shortcut combination you want to use and then pressing the Assign button.

Configure Check for Updates

This option allows you to configure the Check for Updates on application startup by enabling this option (disabled by default) and specifying the interval between checks in days.
