Telerik Tests - Debug a coded step

There are challenges to debug Telerik tests that use both Recorded and Coded Steps.

Test Studio gives flexibility to debug Recorded Steps. However, Coded Steps cannot be debugged in Test Studio.

Coded Steps can be debugged using the Test Studio plugin in Visual Studio. Below are the steps to debug a coded step.


In the below test, there are 2 steps, wherein second step is a coded step that will be debugged.

Put a breakpoint in the line of code that you want to debug

Now, the important step is Open the Test Explorer which is located in TEST menu.
Navigate TEST -> Windows -> Test Explorer

In the Test Explorer, identify your test and Right Mouse Click on the Test and Choose "Debug Selected Tests" option.

This will hit the breakpoint that was placed in the coded step and you can debug your code.

Some tips on Telerik Test Studio.

1. Be careful when you pause the recorder and open links from any applications. i.e. when Recorder is in the paused mode in browser, and if you open new link say from outlook, then in your test you will see 'Connect to popup(<URL>)' step recorded.
