Debugging tests
In the Test Builder there are various directional controls to help with debugging. These are indicated by the following icons:

Adding breakpoints
To debug an issue, or to add new test steps in the middle of a test, breakpoints are recommended. Setting a breakpoint on a test step will mean that the Test Builder will pause execution on this step once it is reached.
To add a breakpoint to a test step, right-click on the test step in Provar Desktop and select Toggle Breakpoint:
Note: You can also use a Disable Test Item option which will keep the test step in the test case but skip it at runtime.
Viewing the log
You can view the detailed log file for any test step by right-clicking on the step in the Test Builder.
This is also available in the Test Runner in Provar Desktop.
