Run

The Run tab displays two panes.

The Tests ready for execution pane (left) lists script runs of the current project. A script run is composed from the data of the source test script file and the set of modifiers (which alter the script's global parameters for this run). To use the same test script several times with a different set of modifiers, you should create multiple entries (script runs) in this list using the same source test script.
The whole script run string is displayed in the pane, i.e.: full path to the source script file plus the complete set of modifiers (as it appears in a Test Project file).
The buttons above the list of script runs allow to:

- add a new script run to the test project (the respective script file should be already loaded in the current project). Opens a blank Run dialog

- edit script run parameters (or right-click the desired script run and select Edit). Opens the Run dialog with the current script run.

- delete a script run from the project (or right-click the desired script run and select Delete).

The right pane (Execution log) displays short messages about the status of the currently running scripts. If Web Roller detects excessive CPU usage (over 90%) or massive HDD transfers during the test run, it will alert you with respective messages about possible loss of test precision.

The progress of the currently running script is displayed in the Web Roller status line (bottom of the application) as current request number vs. total amount of requests to run (both numeric values and a progress bar).

The buttons above the log area allow to:

- run all entries listed in the Tests ready for execution pane;

- run only the selected entries (use Shift or Control keys to select multiple entries);

- stop all script runs (both currently running and scheduled to run);

- stop the currently running script and switch to the next one scheduled.
