Replay and Debug Actions

The playback speed of each recording can be defined individually. Use the speed factor text box to increase replay speed by a factor value.

In order to replay all actions as fast as possible activate ‘Turbo Mode’ by clicking the button within 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.

If the option 'Generate replay reports' is set to true a report is shown after the replay has finished. By default each action item logs one message to the report.

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 here.

As shown in the picture above each log entry allows it to quickly jump to the source action item. This helps to quickly debug single actions in case of an error. Then within the Recorder's actions table you can fix an error causing step and quickly re-run single or selected steps using the context menu.
