The tool is great. If you could add a few more debug features, then is perfect;

Hi David, thanks for the suggestions

One easy way to implement this could be to introduce a couple of context menu options at the Test Cases tab, like "Run Up To Here" and "Run From Here", where "Here" would be the line where the cursor is positioned. Obviously the selected portion of the test would have to make sense , including a "Open Browser". That's the reason I don't know how I would implement the execution of a single test step. The solution would be to do a "takeover" of the user's current browser instance. I did some research about this in the past and it doesn't seem to be feasible: https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=18 .

I don't know when I'll have time to implement this, since I'm currently working on another side project, but it will be in my TODO list.
