5.6 Pause Execution

When a test is being executed and you want to enter debugging mode you can quickly set a breakpoint at some node not yet executed. Or you can just hit the toolbar button "Pause" Continue and QF-Test will directly enter debugging mode.

In order to resume execution just release the pause button Continue. This is completely independent of the way you entered debugging mode.

Depending on how focus demanding the SUT is, it may be difficult to focus QF-Test long enough to hit the pause button. But you can still rely on the "Don't Panic" shortcut Alt⁠+⁠F12. It will pause all running tests immediately. To continue, press the same combination again.
