If you want to run a test to a certain point, you can easily do this with the Run and pause here option.

To use this function, you have to:

  1. Hover on a step you want to run to.

  2. Click + icon.

  3. Click Run and pause here option.

  4. The test execution window will open, and the test will run until the given step.

  5. The paused mode will activate, and you can continue running step-by-step or resume a test execution.

When the test is paused, you can record new steps, change the playback position, resume execution, or modify steps from the UI. BugBug gives you a lot of control. Read more about it on the page Edit & Rewind.
