Explain the execution flow of a Ranorex test suite?

Running a Ranorex test suite follows a defined sequence rather than just firing test cases in file order.

flowchart TD
    A[Load Test Suite] --> B[Run global Setup region]
    B --> C{For each test case / smart folder}
    C -->|condition met| D[Run test case Setup]
    D --> E[Execute modules in order: recording + code]
    E --> F[Run inline Validations, log each result]
    F --> G[Run test case Teardown]
    G --> C
    C -->|all done| H[Run global Teardown region]
    H --> I[Generate Report + exit code]

The runner first executes any global Setup region once, then walks the suite tree, entering each smart folder only if its condition currently evaluates to true, and running each test case's own Setup, its modules, and its Teardown in that order.

Every action and validation is logged as it happens rather than only at the end, so the Report reflects the true order of events even if the run is interrupted partway through. After every test case has run (or been skipped by a condition), the global Teardown fires once, and the runner writes the final report and returns a pass/fail exit code that a CI system can check.
