# Station Stop

In your testplan you can place a **LTT Station Stop** whenever you want to **actively stop the test execution** of this station. Of all [stop criteria](/ltt/documentation/ltt-gui-manual/teststand/processmodel/orderofexecution.md#STOP_CONDITIONS), this is the only active one, where you, the testplan developer, decide when to stop. That's also the reason why a station stop is usually accompanied with a step precondition.

Normally, there is rarely a need to actively stop a test from within the testplan. However, if you do so, be aware that the station stop does the same as if a user would have pressed F1 or F8. You still need a [check for stop](/ltt/documentation/ltt-gui-manual/teststand/customsteptypes/checkstop.md) step hierarchy to actually stop the execution.
