Test Case Execution with Debugger
Once all the break-points are added, Qualitia users can initiate the test case execution pressing the Play button (keyboard shortcut F5) on the debugger view. Once clicked the Play button, Webdriver is launched and test case starts executing.
The test case execution continues till execution reaches a break-point or it has completed. The Detail view and Change log view of the debugger are only accessible when either the execution is waiting at a break-point or is being debugged step by step or has ended.
The detail view is a consolidated view of the test case execution. All the steps which were modified and executed during debugging; their details are shown in the detail view. The change log view gets updated whenever the step is modified.
There is no status associated with all the test steps which are skipped due to OnError conditions.
Please note that the facility of navigating a step to its execution detail in the detail view or its change details in the change log view is being considered for future releases and is not part of present release.
Once completed the execution, Qualitia report is displayed. It is not generated in certain cases. For more information on this, please refer to the Error Handling and Notifications section.
Debugging Step By Step
One of the key features of Qualitia Debugger is to be able to debug the test case execution step by step. This helps when you want to understand the flow of execution and if there is any specific step in the test case which could is causing the problem.
Qualitia users can start debugging test case step by step using the Next (F6) button from the Debugger window. Once the step is executed, the details of the step are displayed immediately after the execution is completed.
