    Mdar,

    The default behavior is to stop the test case execution if a test step fails.

     

    But, you can change it in TestCase properties if you prefer to continue (see picture below).

     

     

    Inside the groovy script, you can use an assertion, e.g.:

     

    assert true == false: "Test step failed"

     

    Then the following test steps are executed. However, if you use:

     

    testRunner.fail("Hi there")

    The execution stops regardless of your TestCase setup described above.

     

    Best regards,

    Karel
