Clicking the relevant cell in the Run Mode column enables you to select one of the following:

The position of the breakpoint in the test is indicated by a red spot icon in the left margin of the Keyword View (or, for UFT One components, the Expert View in UFT One). This enables you to use all the debug options of the testing tool to check the performance of one or more specific steps in the component. You can then continue the run.
    For details on UFT One debugging options, see the Micro Focus Unified Functional Testing User Guide.

  • Normal. Runs the selected business component from start to finish without pausing.

  • Skip. Skips the selected business component.
