The Interactive Test Run (ITR) utility lets you walk through and verify the steps of a test case. With this utility, you can verify that test cases are running correctly before staging them. The ITR runs the test that is in memory, rather than loading a test case document. You can make changes to the test case in real time to alter test properties or the workflow.
For example, you can run a specific test step out of the natural workflow sequence. The real-time changes that you make as the test is running are integrated into the test case. The test case continues to run without requiring a restart. The exception is a global change, such as changing the active configuration. If you execute a step and you get an unexpected result (for example, because of a bad parameter), you can leave the ITR open and edit the step. You can then go back to the ITR and execute the same step again.
The ITR lets you save the current ITR state, and to load an ITR state that was previously saved. This feature lets you communicate an error, in context, to another member of your team. You can send the test case and the saved ITR state to provide the exact actions and the results that you observed.
