How to stop Current Test Item execution and proceed to the next Test Item.

Hi,



I am Using Test Complete 8.



I will be arranging all my test cases as seperate test Items in Project.



Suppose if an application crash occurs on executing a particular Test Item, I need to terminate my application , restart and proceed to next test item.





Please refer the attachment for more info.

    Two things you need to ensure.



    First, on your test item, set the "stop on error" property to "Test Item".  That will stop that one test and then proceed to the next without killing your whole project.



    Secondly, you will need to create and assign an OnStopTest event handler.  In that handler, you'll want to detect that a failure occurred and then, if there was a failure, reset your environment to your basic starting point.

    Hi Saifur,


     


    The event handler code will depend on your needs. As a rule, it can look like this:




     //JScript


     function GeneralEvents_OnStopTest(Sender)


     {


       //do something


       Routine ();


     }


     


      


     Refer to the "Handling Events" article for more information.

    The OnStopTest event is fired for several different reasons (e.g. Runner.Halt, exception, or the test completed successfully).



    How is it possible to know why the event was raised? At the point you reach the OnStopTest handler, all the script variables have been disposed.

     Hi Nicholas,


      


     Project variables are still available in the OnStopTest event handler.
