Execution Status

15.  Click Save and Execute. The test will continue to generate a random number between 1 and 10 until it generates the number referenced in the Verify step (4 in this example).

The While step will be always marked as 'Passed' since it is always executed - the condition is to be evaluated. Depending on whether the condition evaluation is true or false the test will either execute the *while branch * steps or skip and show them as 'Not Run'.

An execution status example when the while loop is executed few times and the steps in the while loop are executed at least once.

While condition is evaluated at least once as true

An execution status example when the while condition is false and the steps in the while loop are not run at all.
