Error Handling

[Reddy]

I have this code written as a Script Step.
I am extracting the value "BC_PolEffectiveDate" from a web application and comparing it to a value "EffectiveDate" in the database.

 

 

<FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face="courier new">
<P>If </FONT><FONT size=2 face="courier new">Data(</FONT><FONT
color=#800000 size=2 face="courier new">"EffectiveDate"</FONT><FONT size=2
face="courier new">).ToString() = BC_PolEffectiveDate </FONT>Then </P>
<P> <FONT size=2 face="courier new">Log.WriteLine(</FONT><FONT
color=#800000 size=2 face="courier new">"AQS Policy Effective Date matches
Billing Center Policy Effective Date"</FONT>) </P>
<P> <FONT color=#008000 size=2 face="courier new">Else</P>
<P> Log.WriteLine("AQS Policy Effective Date does not match Billing Center
Policy Effective Date")</P></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face="courier new">
<P>End If</P></FONT>

I can see from the log when these two values do not match but when i run the script on a schedule, Test Studio returns just a pass or fail info and the test passes either by going into the IF or ELSE condition. I need to fail the test when the script goes into the ELSE condition. How can i handle that? Is there a custom code that i can use to change the status of the test when i encounter certain conditions?

I was able to use the Assert.IsTrue for this. My test is working as required.

Thank you,

Hello Nithin,

I'm glad you found a solution. See here for an alternative approach to failing the test based on a condition in a coded step.

All the best,
