Thank Titus for your answer. >From the point of view of the developer of watir script ok, I agree with you.
However, from user's point of view (who actually configure a automatic test case or has to correct the configuration becouse of changes in business data) is a big problem. For example, if someone forgot to set an input data of a test case, to have the feature to stop the ongoing test, correct the configutation and restart with the same test case from a given point is very useful.
