Redundancy tuning for parameters and cookies with special attributes, listed in Configuration > Parameters and Cookies.

check box

When selected...

Explore the URL again whenever this parameter/cookie is added or removed.

During the Explore Stage, treat URLs whose only difference is that one includes this parameter and one does not, as different URLs, and explore both.

For example, in the case of the following two URLs, both will be explored:

...page.jsp
...page.jsp?thisParam=Value

If you deselect this check box, only one request will be sent in cases like this, and the other will be discarded.

Explore the URL again whenever the value of this parameter/cookie changes.

During the Explore Stage, treat URLs whose only difference is the value of this parameter/cookie, as different URLs, and explore both.

For example, in the case of the following two URLs, both will be explored:

...page.jsp?thisParam=Value1
...page.jsp?thisParam=Value2
If you deselect this check box, only one request will be sent in cases like this, and the other will be discarded.
Note: This option is irrelevant when the parameter or cookie is tracked.

Repeat all adjacent parameter/cookie tests whenever this parameter/cookie is added or removed.

During the Test Stage, treat URLs whose only difference is that this parameter was added or removed, as different URLs, and test adjacent parameters again.

For example, in the case of the following two URLs, two full sets of tests will be generated for the adjacent parameter, one set for each URL.

...page.jsp?adjacentParam=<test_this>
...page.jsp?adjacentParam=<test_this>&thisParam=Value

If you deselect this check box, only one set of tests will be generated for the adjacent parameter.

Repeat all adjacent parameter/cookie tests whenever the value of this parameter/cookie changes.

During the Test Stage, treat URLs whose only difference is the value of this parameter/cookie, as different URLs, and test adjacent parameters again.

For example, in the case of the following two URLs, two full sets of tests will be generated for the adjacent parameter, one set for each URL.

...page.jsp?adjacentParam=<test_this>&thisParam=Value1
...page.jsp?adjacentParam=<test_this>&thisParam=Value2
