[GUI Functional testing] Rerun a test with the same data set 

You can manage test data and parametrize your GUI Functional Scriptless test with synthetic data, which is randomly generated each time you execute a test.

We’ve added the ability to rerun a GUI Functional test with the same data that was generated for an exact test execution.

For example, if you have a GUI Functional test that failed on a specific set of data, now you can rerun the same test with the same data set, in order to make sure your application is failing with specific data.
