How to perform post activities if my test is interrupted for any reason?

Hello All, 

 

I have issue that if the test is interrupeted or stopped due to some reason, I need to run some post activities such as updating my reports, closing the application etc. 

 

Is there any way we can trigger this post activites?

 

Regards,

 

Nimish

    Hi Nimish,

     

    At least three options can be suggested. Their applicability to your case depends on your tests architecture.

    a) Try/Catch functionality of the given scripting language (if supported);

    b) OnLogError/OnTestStop event in TestComplete;

    c) If your tests are executed from command line (e.g. when triggered from some CI system like Jenkins), you may use TestComplete exit code and trigger this or that action/program/batch file.

    Thanks for your reply. 

     

    It seems that the 2nd option especially the OnStopTest event will be applicable based on my test architecture. 

     

     

    I have gone through the onStopTest event documentation but did not find any good example to implement it. 

     

    Can you let me know, how can I implement it ?  I am using Vbscript as my scriping language.
