Assert on Exception

Definition​

An Assert on Exception formulates if executing the associated Teststep will result in either an Exception or no Exception (normal execution). A Teststep can have zero or one Assert Exception.

When a Teststep uses Data Variation to manipulate Teststep input, the Assert can be applied as a Data Variation Item for each defined variation.

Expected resultEither Raised Exception or No Exception

Business rules​

  • If an Assert on Exception exists on a Teststep, the Teststep Exception handling must be set to Continue.
  • If an Assert on Exception with Expected result Raised Exception exists on a Teststep, there can be no other Asserts on the same Teststep.
