Scripting loops and setiterations

[jrack]

Maybe I am a bit dull today, but what's the difference?

In loops I can clear in each loop and guessing instead of 111112222233333 it might be 123123123123123.

It feels like setiterations would be preferred (assuming tests are straight forward). When I have added that in though I didn't seem to get the results in each iteration in the HTML report.

SETITERATIONS is the same as changing the value of the iterations in the preferences window and re-runs the test or group of tests a number of times and uses the best result as the final value. This is a global setting and affects all the tests run.

LOOP can used to run a subset of tests or actions a certain number of times, eg saving the results each time a test is run during a loop or only running the 3D test multiples times. This is a local setting and only affects the actions within the LOOP section.
