Playback

Purpose

When you record a test, Rapise translates your actions into a script. When you play back the test, the script is executed.

Usage

You can either run your script from the Command Line or play it back while Rapise is open (as described below):

  1. You will first need to open your test or framework. There is no need to have the AUT (Application Under Test) open. Rapise will open the AUT before it begins test execution.

  2. Now, press the Play button at the top of the Rapise toolbar. play icon

  3. In testing framework mode, you may be prompted to select a test case to execute:

  4. Alternatively, you can select a specific test case from the object tree by clicking the Play button next to it:

  5. During test execution, Rapise displays an execution monitor dialog box that allows the user to see the progress of test playback. This dialog is only shown during test execution and can be turned off in the Options dialog. The following is a screenshot of the test execution monitor.

    The user can pause or stop test execution by clicking either the Pause or Stop button.

  6. When Rapise has finished executing the test, results are displayed in a table. Rows with green text indicate passed steps; rows with red text indicate failed steps. The following screenshot shows test results where every step passed:
