How to deal with suit and sub-suit test items?
I have Regression Suit and some sub-suits, see below:
The question is: How to stop running Suit 1 (Test 2 and Test 3) if Test 1 failed and continue to run Suit 2 and Suit 3.
I can add some logic in test scripts, but seems like we shoud have easier way.
I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks in advance

imo, all tests in a test campaign are to be independant of each others... and this is kind of a standard. This is probably why you can't do this easily in TestComplete
Hi Denis,
Unfortunately, this is not possible in TestComplete now.
'Test Item' setting in the test items tree means that TestComplete will stop execution of the current test item, will skip execution of its children and continue with the test item of the same (or parent if no sibling test items are left) level.
I would love to see a setting effectively meaning 'navigate to parent node and continue execution from there' but it does not exist as we speak.
You may either implement own coded logic to make a decision of whether the given test item must be skipped or executed or consider tests to be organized, for example, as suggested by Colin (https://community.smartbear.com/t5/Functional-Web-Testing/Strategy-for-Disabling-Stop-on-Error/m-p/120537#M27617)
P.S. Tests's independency mentioned by Montikore is a reasonable idea which, as they say, works with unit tests, but I never saw it to be (effectively) working in an extensive set of complex end-to-end functional tests...
- I am Brazilian, I implemented a solution for when there is failure and can continue. I hope I can spend my idea for you showing the code.
If you have any doubts regarding abaxo I am willing to help you.
But in short:
I have three red variable standards that define where the test is;
I have a procedure to define the test cases that MT will be executed;
I used OnLogError to override the error, to know the mistake I used UserForms
The variables are integer
What do I identify the tests cases, I use the ComboBox ID to set the value of the variables thus being easy to continue (example) (
UserForms.Error.cbSelBase.ItemIndex.Add ('CT_2_2');
Summarize the maximum my test project.
But let's say my TestExecute, does everything the TestComplete itself does less correct code. My goal: artificial intelligence (laughs) kkk.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My test items
CT_2_2 procedure;
begin
ShowMessage ( 'CT_2_2 test');
end;
Start Test
procedure beginning;
begin
Principal.Etapa_1;
end;
-------------------------------------------------- ------------
procedure CT_2_4;
begin
ShowMessage ( 'CT_2_4 test'); // If there is the will to error OnLogErro
end;
procedure CT_2_6;
begin
ShowMessage ( 'CT_2_6 test');
end;
procedure CT_2_8;
begin
ShowMessage ( 'CT_2_8 test');
end;
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
Events create OnLogError event - It is only called when an error occurs, then you can use it to treat your TestItem the large balcony that creates vc test item in the 'code'
GeneralEvents_OnLogError procedure (Sender; LogParams);
var VerificouImagem: integer;
ShowLogError: boolean;
begin
// Right now I implemented a form to handle the error
// So having a button that setava my variable to continue the test
// My test consists of three key variables: Base, Step and cases represented by Project.Variables.PrincipalBase, Project.Variables.PrincipalStep and Project.Variables.PrincipalCases
// If this will only be able to continue the test if clicked Continue on ERROR form.
if (Project.Variables.ContinuaTesteErro = true) then // is veriavel is assigned the button to confirm the Form Error
begin
Project.Variables.ContinuaTesteErro: = false;
ContinuaTesteError; // Here determine the continuation of the test
end;
end;
end;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specifies all tests
ContinuaTesteError procedure;
begin
case Project.Variables.PrincipalStep of
0: Principal.Etapa_1;
1: Principal.Etapa_2;
2: Principal.Etapa_3;
end;
end;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Determines which IRAM tests run by stage
procedure Etapa_1;
begin
if (Project.Variables.PrincipalCases= 0) then
begin
CT_2_2; // Call my Test
Project.Variables.PrincipalCT Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + = 1; // Move to the next test
end;
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 1) then
begin
CT_2_4;
Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 2) then
begin
CT_2_6;
Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 3) then
begin
CT_2_8;
//Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
end;
procedure Etapa_2;
begin
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 0) then
begin
CT_2_22;
Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 1) then
begin
CT_2_44;
Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 2) then
begin
CT_2_66;
Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 3) then
begin
CT_2_88;
//Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
end;
procedure Etapa_3;
begin
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 0) then
begin
CT_2_222;
Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 1) then
begin
CT_2_444;
Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 2) then
begin
CT_2_666;
Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
if Project.Variables.PrincipalCases = 3) then
begin
CT_2_888;
//Project.Variables.PrincipalCT = Project.Variables.PrincipalCT + 1;
end;
end;
Thus becomes a Looping.I have helped thank you
