"try ... except" and Runner.CallMethod
Hi, I have trouble with Runner.CallMethod. I'm not able to handle exceptions occuring inside the method call. See this code snippet: procedure Foo; begin raise('Foo-Exception'); ...

The problem with architecturing tests around exceptions is that you won't be able to easily distinguish an exception that is due to the test failure versus an exception due to a code environment problem. I tend to use exceptions only for trapping unexpected failures (syntax problems, windows that never appear that I'm expecting, etc) while, if I'm checking something as a "works" and "doesn't work" condition, boolean returns work best.
Just my $0.02 really, but I think a better design that provides a tighter control is to do something like

if not condition raise('yada')
result := true;
except
