Post-Recovery Test Run Options Screen In QTP

Post-Recovery Test Run Options Screen In QTP

When you clear the Add another recovery operation check box in the Recovery Operations Screen and click Next, the Post-Recovery Test Run Options screen opens. Post-recovery test run options specify how to continue the run session after QuickTest has identified the event and performed all of the specified recovery operations.

QuickTest can perform one of the following run session options after it performs the recovery operations you defined:

Repeat current step and continue
The current step is the step that QuickTest was running when the recovery scenario was triggered. If you are using the On error activation option for recovery scenarios, the step that returns the error is often one or more steps later than the step that caused the trigger event to occur.
Thus, in most cases, repeating the current step does not repeat the trigger event. For more information, see Enabling and Disabling Recovery Scenarios.


Proceed to next step
Skips the step that QuickTest was running when the recovery scenario was triggered. Keep in mind that skipping a step that performs operations on your application may cause subsequent steps to fail.


Proceed to next action or component iteration
Stops performing steps in the current action or component iteration and begins the next iteration from the beginning (or from the next action or component if no additional iterations of the current action or component are required).


Proceed to next test iteration
Stops performing steps in the current action or and begins the next QuickTest test or business process test iteration from the beginning (or stops running the test or component if no additional iterations of the test or component are required).


Restart current test run
Stops performing steps and re-runs the test or component from the beginning.


Stop the test run
Stops running the test or component.
Note: If you chose Restart Microsoft Windows as a recovery operation, you can choose from only the last two test run options listed above.

Select a test run option and click Next to continue to the Name and Description Screen.
