Hi,
&nbsp;
In TestComplete we use Runner.Stop() or Runner.Halt() methods.

Hi,

There is no any solution from the box. You should implement your own customized method.&nbsp;

Utilize exception handling (try/catch/finally) within your test cases. When something happens that you need to halt the test case, raise an exception using whatever code language or methodology you're using, let the "Catch" handle the exception, and let the test run continue on with the next test case.&nbsp; You are correct, Runner.Halt() will halt the whole run... so you need to find other ways of doing it.&nbsp; AS&nbsp;baxatob&nbsp;mentioned, you should work out whatever custom method will work best for your needs.

Right.. as mentioned, raise an exception in Login but don't HANDLE it in Login (in other words, Login does not utilize try/catch/finally).&nbsp; Then, in your test case TC01_CreateOrder that calls Login, wrap the whole test case in Try/Catch/Finally logic.&nbsp; So, when the exception is raised in Login, it "bubbles up" to TC01_CreateOrder... the exception than triggers the "Catch" logic which then skips the rest of the test case.&nbsp; This is precisely what we do and it works every time... our test case stops and we go on to the next test case.

"Object not found" errors in test complete don't raise as exceptions so they won't be trapped by error handling.&nbsp; A "best practice" is that, if you're not certain an object will be available, it's best to add checks for the existance of the object before attempting to use it.&nbsp; In those checks, if the existance check fails, you can raise the exception.&nbsp; So... object not found errors will not raise an exception natively but you can write your code in such a way that they will be raised
