Maintenance Mode helps you debug failing test runs faster. When the development team wants fast feedback from testing, you need to resolve failing test runs quickly.
Maintenance Mode saves valuable time by identifying points of failure during test execution, so you can debug them right from the test run report. You can begin diagnosing and fixing errors without having to wait for an entire test run to complete.
When to use Maintenance Mode
Use Maintenance Mode when:
- A long test suite fails late, and you want to diagnose and fix issues without rerunning the entire suite.
- You want to stop at the exact failure point and decide whether to continue or abort the run.
- You want to apply the supported fixes from the report after resolving the issue.
What happens during execution
When Maintenance Mode is active:
- Ranorex Studio pauses execution when it encounters a supported error.
- From the report, you can open the failure details, continue with error, or abort the run.
Expected result
After you resolve the issue:
- In the report, use the Apply… action on Maintenance Mode events to apply supported fixes back into your test suite.
