The test run goes without user interaction. ReadyAPI simulates test steps of the underlying functional test case (you can see its name in the Targets section in the Editor). It sends requests to the target web service and gets responses. After starting the test, you see the test results. ReadyAPI displays the results both during the test run and when the test run is over.
