Setting a Breakpoint
First of all we need to activate debugging mode. There are several ways
to do so. One of them is to set a breakpoint at the node where we want to
have a closer look. When the test is being executed and QF-Test comes to the break
point it will then
pause and switch into debugging mode. The pause button 
will then
be activated.
-
Action
Select a node and press Ctrl+F8.
The breakpoint is indicated by a
.
- Action Select the Test suite node and press Enter to start the test run.
- Action Remove the breakpoint by pressing Ctrl+F8 again.
Instead of using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F8 you may also set or unset a breakpoint by clicking the node and selecting the »Debugger«-»Breakpoint on/off« menu item, or alternatively right-clicking the node and selecting the »Breakpoint on/off« context menu item.
Again, you can see the little arrow, which now marks the next node to be executed, called the current node. When entering debugging mode QF-Test also navigates to the current node, in case it had not been visible, and selects it, highlighting it blue.
The menu option »Debugger«-»Clear all breakpoints« is useful to remove all breakpoints set in your test suite.
There is no limit to the number of breakpoints you can set in your test suite, but note that breakpoints are not saved with the test suite.
