Automatic Saves and Experimentation
When you run a test, the application performs an automatic save. If you make changes to a test that you
want to delete after you ran a test, you will have to manually back out of the changes.
Tip
If you want to experiment with a test, perform a Save As operation.
Rapid Design Iterations
Running the Set Up section without starting a new test
The Set Up section runs only once per test before the first test run. All subsequent test runs in the test
skip the Set Up section. If you are developing a test and need to run it from the beginning to the end
iteratively, this can be inconvenient, because it requires you to open a new test after each iteration.
Tip
To run the Set Up section after performing test runs, delete all test runs (on the Review tab, right-click on
a test run, and then select Delete > (All).
Activity State in Outline View
The outline view (Define > Procedure > Outline) provides a compact view of the test hierarchy. Use this
view to check nesting levels and disable and enable activities.
Test Procedure Test-Run Display
The Test Procedure monitor display shows the test procedure during runtime. It allows you to follow the
progress of the test by identifying the active test activity, which is shown with a green triangle. Completed
activities are identified with a blue check mark.
Runtime Values Tab
The Runtime Values tab updates variable values as the test is running. Array variable values include
array size, first value, and last value.
