# Running Workflows and Viewing Workflow Run Results

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

RPA Builder enables you to test a Workflow by executing a local run. After the Workflow execution
finishes, the Workflow Run Results panel shows detailed information about the execution.

To perform a test run of a Workflow in RPA Builder, click **Run Workflow**
(![The Run Workflow icon](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-builder/latest/_images/run-process.png)) on the Workbench toolbar or press _F7_ on your
keyboard.

The RPA Builder window is hidden while the Workflow executes, so the engine can now use the mouse
and keyboard just like a normal user would and you can watch to confirm if the Workflow performs
correctly. Do not use the mouse or keyboard while the Workflow runs.

Depending on the settings you made for the **Show Message boxes** value in the _Project Properties_,
additional information may appear during the run. Note that every message box takes a few seconds to
disappear, which causes a corresponding pause in the Workflow and affects measured times and
Workflow stability.

Before using a Workflow for productive measurement, turn off debug message boxes and perform at
least one test run afterward.

## Pause or Exit a Workflow Run

To pause or exit the Workflow during the execution:

1.  Click the (![Test script tray button](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-builder/latest/_images/test-script-tray-icon.png)) tray icon.

2.  Select either **Script Paused** or **Exit**.

Pressing _Pause/Break_ on your keyboard also stops a running Workflow.

## The Workflow Run Results Panel

After you execute a Workflow from within RPA Builder, information about the last run displays in the
Workflow Run Results panel at the end of the RPA Builder screen:

This information helps you identify problems and their causes in your Workflow. If you do not see
the Workflow Run Results window, click **Show Workflow Run Results** in the menu bar.

The Workflow Run Results window lists information about measured response times, found images,
errors that occurred, and captured screenshots. You can double-click an entry to navigate to its
corresponding Workflow element.

### Identifying Errors

After a Workflow run, RPA Builder highlights Workflow elements that failed to execute and caused an
error by marking them in red:

![The Activity Workflow window showing the Workflow element that failed marked in red](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-builder/latest/_images/workflow-run-error.png)

Click the expander arrows to get more detailed information about an error:

![The Activity Workflow window showing the additional details for the Workflow element that failed](/mulesoft/current/en-us/rpa-builder/latest/_images/workflow-run-error-detail.png)

This panel provides detailed information about what failed. In this case, the _Web Session
(Firefox)_ action step cannot start because Firefox is not installed in the computer that is
executing the test run for the Workflow.

The error screenshot shows the desktop as it looked when the error occurred. Click the screenshot to
enlarge it.

## Opening the Trace Log

The Trace Log contains even more detailed information about the last run.

To open the Trace Log, click **Open Trace Log** in the Tools submenu inside the Workbench toolbar:
