Upper display area

During the test run, the test status for the executed test actions is displayed continuously.

Display Area, Tab: Errors

For each error which has occurred so far: error message and error location. By double-clicking the message, the focus jumps to the error location.

You can copy selected lines to the clipboard (Ctrl+C).

Display Area, Tab: Variables (scope #<ID>)

Name, Outer name, and Value of the test variables which are contained in the current scope of the script execution

Example: Variables (scope #4)

The scope is indicated by a randomly generated number. Their display helps to check whether or not the variables of the currently selected test element are still within the same scope as the preceding or following element. For example, the scope changes when you jump from an action to a call when running a test script.

The Outer name is only displayed for variables which have been are passed as parameters of the current scope inwardly as input parameters or outwardly as output parameters. For example, in a called script, the displayed name is the name of the variable passed as a parameter within the scope of the called script. This allows you to view the data flow. For details, see the description of the parameter configuration for the individual test driver actions in the reference part of the help: "Test Script Programming > Test Drivers".
