# Run Tests Menu

The Run Tests menu is used to start, stop, and monitor a test run. This menu can be customized to include additional actions, so you may see additional options. A custom menu is developed as part of a test suite, so it is visible only when the test suite is in use.

The following table describes the default items in the Run Tests menu.

Menu Item | Description
--- | ---
Start | The harness enables the Start menu item when it is not running tests. Choose the Start menu item to start a test run. Only one test run at a time can be active in the Test Manager. See Starting a Test Run for detailed information about starting a test run.
Stop | The harness enables the Stop menu item when it is running tests. Choose the Stop menu item to end a test run after the current test is completed. See Stopping a Test Run for detailed information about stopping a test run.
Monitor Progress | When the harness is running tests, you can use the Progress Monitor to display the progress of the test run and current resource information about the test system. Choose the Monitor Progress menu item to open the Progress Monitor. See Using the Progress Monitor for detailed information about using the Progress Monitor.
