To view the DEBUG Toolbar, from the QuickTest Professional menu bar, select VIEW ? TOOLBARS ? DEBUG. The DEBUG toolbar consists of the following buttons:

  • PAUSE: Temporarily suspends a Test. A paused test stops Running when all previously interpreted steps are executed.
  • step into: Runs the current step of the active test. If the current line calls another Action, the called action is displayed. The test pauses at the first line of the called action.
  • step over: Runs the current step in the active test. When the current step calls another action, the called action is executed but not displayed.
  • step out: Runs the current step until the end of the function, returns to the calling component or function library, and then pauses the run session.
  • INSERT/REMOVE BREAKPOINT: Stops a test run at a specific step in the test. A red icon appears in the left margin of the step to indicate that a breakpoint is inserted on the step. The test runs until it reaches the breakpoint. You can examine or manipulate steps up to the breakpoint. To remove a breakpoint, click INSERT/REMOVE BREAKPOINT again.
  • CLEAR ALL BREAKPOINTS: Removes all breakpoints within a test.
  • ENABLE/DISABLE ALL BREAKPOINTS: Enables or disables all breakpoints within a test.
