A computer-implementable method, system and computer-readable medium for implementing an interactive progress bar that is associated with an executing test program are presented. In a preferred embodiment, the computer-implementable method includes linking each of multiple sectors in a progress bar to a corresponding section of a test program. The progress bar is displayed while the test program is being executed, such that test program code is not displayed with the progress bar on the same User Interface (UI). In response to the system detecting a signal that a specific sector of the progress bar has been selected, the computer displays, on the UI, an underlying log of activities for the corresponding section of the test program, such that the test program continues to be executed while the underlying log is displayed.
