The Disabled Breakpoint symbol () appears in the left margin of the script. Select the Enabled checkbox for the breakpoint. The Breakpoint symbol () appears in the left margin of the script. When a breakpoint is disabled, script execution continues at the disabled breakpoint and is paused at the following enabled breakpoint.

Navigate to a specific breakpoint in a Vuser script | In the Breakpoints pane, select the specific breakpoint to which you want to navigate, and then click the Go to source button . In the Breakpoints pane, double-click the breakpoint to which you want to navigate. The cursor flashes in the Editor at the start of the line containing the breakpoint.
Run a script with breakpoints | Begin running the script as usual. Script execution is paused when it reaches a breakpoint. You can examine the effects of the script run up to the breakpoint, make any necessary changes, and then restart the script from the breakpoint. To resume execution, select Replay > Run. Once restarted, the script continues until it encounters another breakpoint or the end of the script.
