# How to Access Test Controller

To access **Live Controller**, you must first start or open a scenario execution in AIQ.

There are two ways to access Live Controller:

## From Scenario Editor

When creating or editing a scenario in **Scenario Editor**, you can start its execution by clicking the **Play** button located in the upper-right corner of the AIQ navigation bar.

Starting the scenario opens **Live Controller** in a new browser tab.

## From the Play Section

You can also access Live Controller from the **Play** section:

1. Click **Play** in the AIQ navigation bar.
2. Click **Browse Files**.
3. Select the existing scenario file you want to execute.
4. Click **Open** in the file chooser.

AIQ opens Live Controller for the selected scenario.

The **Play** section also displays scenarios that have been opened from this console. From there, you can use the **Play** button to start an execution and access Live Controller.

## Using Live Controller

Live Controller provides tools for monitoring and controlling a scenario execution. It is also an important tool for troubleshooting and debugging scenarios.

Before using Live Controller for debugging, familiarize yourself with its basic functionality and the information displayed during a scenario execution.
