Animated Runs

Animated runs or test runs execute all test methods that are assigned to your test cases, with corresponding input and output data displayed in the Input Data and Output Data windows as they are submitted/received. Status symbols indicate the success/failure status of method calls after they have run.

Output of animated runs includes several logs and reports that help you to identify problems with tested components.

To configure settings for animated runs go to Tools > Options > Options tab. The following settings are available:

Always run Init test case
Always run End test case
Run all test cases during animated run
Invoke Delay (time delay between method calls, in ms)

Note: By default, there is a 2-second (2000 ms) delay between the invocation of method calls. This is because .NET Explorer is designed to test the functionality of components, but not to overtax them with excessive load. Invocation delay settings can be configured on the Options tab.
