Debug
The Debug view is shown in the Test Debugging Perspective.
It shows the filename and line number where Squish has stopped—for example, at a breakpoint—including a full backtrace.
The Debug view
To jump anywhere in the backtrace, click the relevant item in the tree.
The following table summarizes the actions of the toolbar buttons in the Debug view:
| Icon | Toolbar Button Name | Action |
|---|---|---|
 | Remove Terminated Launches | Clears the details of any AUTs that have been terminated from the view. |
 | Resume | Resumes the execution of a test case that has stopped at a breakpoint. |
 | Suspend | This action is not needed or functional in the Squish IDE. |
 | Terminate | Terminates the execution of a test case that has stopped at a breakpoint. |
 | Disconnect | This action is not functional in the Squish IDE. |
 | Step Into | Continues the execution of a test case that has been stopped. If the statement to execute is a function call, this action steps into the function and executes the function's first statement. |
 | Step Over | Continues the execution of a test case that has been stopped. If the statement to execute is a function call, this action executes the call without stepping into the called function, ready to continue from the statement that follows the call. |
 | Step Return | Continues the execution of a test case that has been stopped. If the statement to execute is inside a function call, this action immediately completes the execution of the function, ready to continue from the statement that follows the call to the function that has just been finished. |
 | Drop To Frame | This action is not functional in the Squish IDE. |
 | Use Step Filters | This toggle action is not functional in the Squish IDE. |
 | View Menu | Provides menu options for controlling how the view presents its data. |
