Set a breakpoint to halt an execution

While the execution is running, you can set a breakpoint on any upcoming test step to pause the test and switch to debug mode. This allows you to add a new step or modify an existing step. 

A breakpoint is indicated as follows: 

  • Active breakpoint: 
  • Upcoming breakpoint:

You can remove a breakpoint with a simple click.

To set a breakpoint on a step:

  • On the detailed execution page, click the test step itself:
    1. Identify the step for the breakpoint.
    2. To the left of a test step, click the white circle, and then wait until the test has reached that step and paused.

To set a breakpoint through the execution menu:

  • On the execution menu, click the pause icon . The test pauses at the next possible step.

To release an active breakpoint:

  • Click the breakpoint or click the play icon  on the execution menu.

To remove an upcoming breakpoint:
