Why a test step continued execute when setUp step failed?

I created a testcase with setUp and Test Steps. 

But Why a test step continued execute when setUp step failed? I think it should tell me setUp fails.

    How does it know that setup script is failed unless there is an Error / Exception / Assert statement does that check.

      My setUp script uses another testcase's testStep.In that testStep I already assert the response.And apparently the testStep runs failed.

        Would you mind posting the script? At the moment it is difficult to comment without knowing the details.

         

        It is good practice that each test case is independent.
