Manual Runner: Step Details Page

This wizard page enables you to set the pass/fail status for each step, and add, delete, or modify steps during the run. After you finish executing the test, you can save your design steps with the changes you make.

Important information

  • General information about this wizard is available here: Manual Runner Wizard.

  • If you modify test steps during a test run, you can choose to save the modifications in the original test in the Test Plan module and in the test instance in the Test Lab module. Alternatively, you can save them for the current test run only.

  • The Test Lab module enables you to update changes made to called tests in the current test run only. The called tests are not affected. For details on called tests, see Design Steps Tab/Design Step Details Dialog Box.

  • If you are running a business process test, refer to the Micro Focus Business Process Testing User Guide: How to Run Business Process Tests and Flows Manually.
