Using Breakpoints

You can use breakpoints to instruct QuickTest to pause a run session at a predetermined place in a component or function library. QuickTest pauses the run when it reaches the breakpoint, before executing the step. You can then examine the effects of the run up to the breakpoint, make any necessary changes, and continue running the component or function library from the breakpoint.

You can use breakpoints to:

• suspend a run session and inspect the state of your site or application
• mark a point from which to begin stepping through a component or function library using the step commands

You can set breakpoints, and you can temporarily enable and disable them. After you finish using them, you can remove them from your component or function library.

Note: Breakpoints are applicable only to the current QuickTest session and are not saved with your component or function library.
