How to exit a test case in UFT


I have many tests that require certain preconditions to be met before continuing and thought I could write a simple function like:

Function FailIfNot(condition, error_message)
    If Not condition Then
        WriteToALM FAILURE, error_message 'convenience function
        ExitScript
    End If
End Function

I've searched online, but can't figure out which Exit* function I should use. Each test case consists of a single action which covers a particular interaction with the application and once developed is run in "batch mode" with all the other test cases by ALM (in development I execute it as a temporary run). Ideally the function should go in a library that is shared with other test scripts, which seems to further complicate it.

Hope I'm not reinventing the wheel here.


Solution

  • I think what you're looking for is 'ExitTest'. Built in function that will exit the running test.

    For example I have a EndTest function, and will call it from an if statement. So:

    If condition = true
        'do something
    Else
        Call EndTest(micFail, "reason", "step")
    End If
    

    The EndTest function looks like this:

    Function EndTest(strEvent, strReason, strDescription)
        reporter.ReportEvent strEvent, strReason, strDescription
        ExitTest
    End Function
