In order to replay all actions as fast as possible, activate 'Turbo Mode' by clicking the button on the tool bar. By activating 'Turbo Mode', the value for speed factor is ignored. Use the repeat count text box to specify the number of iterations.

Simply click the 'Play' button in the recording to replay all actions.

Within Ranorex Studio the report is shown as a new file view whereas the standalone Recorder opens the report viewer to show the result. Learn more about how to use Ranorex reporting in Lesson 8: Reporting. As shown in the picture above, each log entry allows one to quickly jump to the source action item. This is helpful in quickly debugging single actions in case of an error. Within the Recorder's actions table, you can then fix a step causing and error and quickly re-run single or selected steps using the context menu.
