Breakpoints allow you to pause your test at any step of a test run in order to
troubleshoot and test authoring.  
Breakpoints are useful when a test fails. You can add breakpoints to the test steps to debug the test. You can also look at the test steps again to find the reasons of the test failure.  
Note:  
Breakpoints are user-specific. You can see only your self-created breakpoints.

## Rollback of test data {#atf-breakpoints-rollback__section_h4y_szy_prb}

Test runs can also be paused immediately before rollback of test data. Check the
Pause before rollback option to pause the test just before rollback of
test data happens after the completion of the test. See [Debug an automated test using breakpoints](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WAJgenkIeHmch0rnVyiStA "Pause a test to troubleshoot failures or unexpected behavior by adding a breakpoint for a particular test step.") to learn more about using rollback option in
a test run.
