18 MANUAL TESTS
Manual tests can run simultaneously with automated testing. Sapphire will perform ongoing
automated test first and then run user defined manual test. Automated test will continue after
manual test has been finished.
Manual test results will not be saved to database.
18.1 Session events
Session events can be shown from active tests (i.e. tests in which the monitoring station
associates with an access point). If the test supports session events, the test dialog contains
“Session events” button.
