Project settings

The default configuration can be customised in numerous ways. You can adapt the user interface to suit your own preferences and easily change the settings for each language or project. You can also share or exchange these project specific settings with other users.

Preventing false error messages

QA Distiller contains extensive options for reducing the number of false error messages. You can build generic or language specific exception lists to ensure that certain strings are ignored when running QA checks. Additionally, regular expressions can be used to make sure QA Distiller ignores or checks certain pattern matches.
