Running Your First Application

Your application is now ready to run. To run the application, use the Start command from the Run menu. Other Run commands are available. They are used to abort or pause the running application and change the way the test program is run.

The Abort command is used to stop the application from running, while the Pause command will suspend the application. Once the application pauses, you may use other Run commands such as Current Test to repeat running the last test, Skip Test to skip the current test to the next test, and others.

ATEasy also lets you set conditions causing the application to pause when the condition is met. You can use the Task By Task, or the Test By Test to pause in the beginning of each task or test. Another condition that can be set is the Pause On Test\Task Failure command which lets you pause when a test or a task fails.

Other debugging commands are available from the Debug menu. These provide code level debugging. Using debug commands you can use the Toggle Breakpoint command to pause on a specific line of code. You can use the Step Into, Step Over, and Step to Out to walk through the lines of code.

To run the program for the first time select Start from the Run menu. ATEasy compiles the required parts of the application and starts running the application. As the program runs, a window appears displaying the test results report. This window is the Log Window.
