6. From the **Starting Point** setting, select the Process model object from where to start the test.
7. Optionally, select **Manual** **Resume** **Point** to stop automated testing at the selected step and continue the test manually.
8. If a **Manual** **Resume** **Point** is not selected, the process will automatically flow and submit all tasks as follows:
  - Data from the **Scenario** setting will be used to auto-fill every input field or variable.
  - Expressions and validations also rely on the **Scenario** setting, which has the prefilled data model to drive evaluations.
9. Optionally, select a **Scenario**. See details on how to configure a Scenario.
10. Optionally from the **Additional Data** setting, add a JSON structure for the test. See details on how to provide additional data.
11. Select **Bypass Scripts tasks and Data Connectors** to skip running any script tasks or data connectors in the process.
12. Click **Run** to start the test. The test will run as configured and display relevant information in the run test summary.
13. Click **Run**. The test displays in the **Test Runs** tab.
14. If the test result is successful, it displays the following:
  - Highlighted decision path
  - Data model
  - Preview all form tasks
15. If the test result fails, and presents an error screen, the following displays:
  - Highlight why it failed such as a missing variable in an expression or a validation
