obtaining step number in the report of teststand

[kpraveen]

when we make  a sequence which has more than hundred steps for testing. After execution it becomes some what difficult to know in the report where we are i.e, at which step we are and which step condition we are checking.What i wanted to know is that is there any way that step numbers are obatined along with the steps in the report when ever we run the sequence.

Hello,&nbsp;You can get the step number from the Step.StepIndex property.
