At times you may opt to run UI test cases in headless mode, where the browser is not actually rendered in the front-end. This may come handy when execution speed is of essence or the automation developer does not want to get distracted with an open and active browser during test execution.
Headless execution is also commonly preferred in continuous integration (CI) environments to improve performance and optimize resource usage.
ACCELQ allows you to customize WebDriver capabilities for your test executions, giving you full control over the browser’s startup behavior. To enable this, configure the required Web Driver Profile and select it from the Run Modal under the Browser Testing option.
Find detailed instructions on creating Web Driver Profiles, refer to this article.
Note: Only chrome and firefox currently support headless test execution.

Hi, I don't see this option where to select headless mode or normal one?
