QTP Breakpoints

Breakpoints instruct QuickTest to pause a run session at a predetermined place in a test or function library and QuickTest pauses the run (at breakpoint) before executing the step.

You can
  • Examine the effects of the run up to the breakpoint,

  • Make any necessary changes,

  • Continue running the test or function library from the breakpoint,

  • Suspend a run session and inspect the state of your application,

  • Mark a point from which to begin stepping through a test or function library using the step commands.



You can set breakpoints.

You can temporarily enable and disable breakpoints.

After you finish using breakpoints, you can remove breakpoints from your test or function library.

Breakpoints are applicable only to the current QuickTest session and are not saved with your test or function library.
