Edit a test step during execution

You can edit the element name of a test step or change element data on the fly (for steps that require data input), while the execution is running. This article explains how.

To change an element name during execution:

1. Make sure the execution has finished or is running and on a breakpoint. 
2. If the execution is not on a breakpoint, add a breakpoint: Click the circle to the left of a test step and then wait until the test has reached that step and paused.
3. In the left pane, click the test step you want to edit. 

4. To change the element name:

   1. Double-click the name field to make it writable.

   2. Enter a new name and press ENTER.

5. To change the element data:

   1. Expand the step by clicking the downward arrow.

   2. In the data input field, such as the Keys to send field for a step that requires keyboard input, modify the data as needed.

   3. Click the upward error to close the step. This automatically saves the change.
