Running TestSteps repeatedly - Repetitions

XTestSteps can be executed several times. TestSteps need to be inside a TestStep folder.

This function is not available for manual test execution.

Select the TestStep folder in the details view and add the Repetition column via the Add or remove columns.
Enter the number of repeats in the Repetition column. Repetitions can either be specified with integers >=0 or dynamic expressions.

The folder icon changes as follows:

Alternatively, you can use the Repetition property in the Properties tab.

Set the value of the setting Report Successful Execution of to TestStepValues - All so that your test results are shown on the TestStepValue level (see "Report Successful Execution of").

If you would like to repeat executions based on conditional statements, use loops as described in chapter "Using conditional statements and loops in TestCases".
