There are three options available from the Play button:

  • Play - Used to replay recorded scripts. Is enabled once a script has been open or saved.

  • Selfheal - Self-healing has the power to remove invalid locators/identifiers, has the power to add any valid locators/identifiers, all it needs is one valid locator to add or remove the other locators.

  • Optimize - Like self healing, Optimize script is a powerful feature of Appvance IQ's Test designer where it helps you to pick the right accessor with the given list of accessors for any step by rerunning the script for 5 times.
