A TestStand User Interface displays the Execution tab when you view the list of open executions in the list bar control. The Execution tab displays the state of the selected execution.

The Execution tab contains the following panes:

• Steps —The steps in the currently executing sequence.
• Variables —Displays a sequence context from the selected execution. You can inspect and modify values of properties and variables.
• Call Stack —The sequences in the call stack used in the current thread. Select an item in this control to display the steps in a specific sequence or subsequence in the call stack.
• Threads —The threads in the current execution. Select a thread in this control to view the currently executing steps in the thread.

The following buttons appear along the bottom of the Execution tab:

• Break/Resume —Click Break to suspend the selected execution after the current step completes. Click Resume to continue execution when in a breakpoint state.
• Terminate/Restart —Click Terminate to terminate a running or suspended execution. A running execution terminates only after completing the currently executing step. When you terminate an execution, TestStand runs the Cleanup step groups for all active sequences on the call stack. Click Restart to rerun a completed execution.
