10. Expand "Print crawl status" keyword

Questions:

• If you are asked to repeat the test steps, which method would you prefer? Would you prefer manual approach, or would you just re-trigger test execution while you comfortably sip a cup of coffee (or whatever it is you like).
• Do you see how the second approch could provide more information in less time, while also leaving you less exhausted, more refreshed and focused for the next step (which is to identify entry points)!
