Continue on error

Hi,

I have the following question: How to continue with the next step of the same testcase after an error occurs?

Scenario:
- We have 40 customized checkpoints in one testcase (mode 'KeywordTests'), which are comparing images successfully
- These images should be updated due to changes in the requirements
- Each checkpoint throws an error and writes the expected image in a file
- Running the same test case 40 times to receive the expected images is inefficient.

How to configure Testcomplete not to terminate the execution of a testcase if the result of each checkpoint is 'Assertion is false'? - Setting the configuration 'On error' of this testcase (in the section 'Execution Plan) to the state 'Continue running'' does not work as expected.

Thanks for your answer in advance!

    I only know of three configuration settings that relates to execution behavior when error occur, and TestComplete default installation setting I only need to tweak the Project playback setting to continue.
    1-Project Suite > "Test Items" > checkbox "Stop on error" have it unchecked 
    2-Project > Properties > Playback > "On error" set it to "Continue running" 
    3-Execution Plan > Properties > the "On error" set it to "Use project's 'On error' property"

    That works properly for me, and after the run completes, I view all failed property checkpoints to update individually failed checks.

    Hope this helps

      Hi, rraghvani

      Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't work.

      I had mutated 2 images so that 2 errors should be displayed in the log, but only one error is displayed (see attachment).

      With which setting would it work?

      Kind regards

        Using execution plan to run five tests, these are the differences

        On Error = Stop Current ItemOn Error = Continue Running

        When On Error = Continue Running, the next statement is executed. In this case, it's Log.Message("Is this shown after error?");
