# How to stop a test?

If you need to interrupt a security test after it has started, Beagle Security allows you to safely stop the test at any point without affecting your application.

To stop a test, follow either of the two methods depending on your preference

### From the Application list
Navigate to the **Applications** tab, click on the specific application where the test is running, and then click the **Stop test** button visible in the Configuration view.

### From the Test progress view
Go to the **Testing** tab, click on **Test progress**, and you’ll see a detailed view of the running test. Click the red **Stop** button to end the test immediately.


|| Note:If the test has already progressed significantly, stopping it at this stage will still consume one test credit. It will reduce your test count since testing resources have already been utilized.
