When you play back a recorded test, the test runs on the
iOS device. However, you can initiate test execution from several
places: from the iOS device, from the test workbench,
from the command line, and from IBM® Rational® Quality Manager.
This lesson focuses on initiating test execution from the device and
from the test workbench.
Note: To prevent the
iOS device from disconnecting frequently from the test workbench,
go to on the iOS device and turn Auto-Lock to Never.
To
initiate test execution from the iOS device:
- If the device is in passive mode, tap Back from
the Passive Mode display to return the device to Active Mode.
- If the device is no longer connected to the test workbench,
reconnect as described in Lesson 1: Setting up the test environment. You
can connect either by typing the Workbench URL in a browser or by
using a QR code scanner to scan the Workbench URL.
- On the device, tap Manage Applications,
and then tap the application under test, for example, UICatalog.
A list of available tests is displayed, as shown below:

- Tap the test that you created in Lesson 4: Recording a test.
- Tap Run Test. Do not use the device
until the test run is complete.
You can watch the recorded
test as it plays back on the iOS device. During test execution, the
Mobile Devices window in the test workbench shows
that a test is running on the iOS device.

When test execution is complete,
you can view the results in the Mobile and Web UI Results folder in
the Test Navigator. See Initiating test execution from the test workbench for details
about test reports.
Note: If a test fails on a particular step,
you can temporarily comment out the step and run the test again. To
comment out a step, right-click the step in the Test Contents window
of the test editor and click Disable.
