# Configure Automation

To automate tests with different tools, you may need a third party tool. The location of these third party tools and a temporary directory for automation needs to be given to aqua. To do so, click File -> Options.

Select Automation and browse for the path where your tool is installed. The temporary directory highlighted as yellow is used to store the automation script for editing on your computer. Please select an existing folder as temporary folder (the yellow colour will disappear).
