Teststep Exception

Definition​

A Teststep Exception occurs during the execution of a Teststep. A Teststep Exception occurs because in the Application Instance where the test was executed, a Mendix Error occured that was not handled by a Mendix Error Handler.

If a Teststep Exception is not handled by Mendix, it can be handled by MTA, by setting a Teststep Exception Handler to Continue.

A Teststep Exception is not to be confused with the Coverage Exception.
