Exception Handling

Part of the QA Testing Roadmap.

Summary

Gracefully handling errors in a test script (like an element not being found) rather than letting the entire test suite crash on the first failure — essential for a stable, informative automation suite.

How to Learn This

  • 1Add try/catch (or try/except) error handling to a script and test it against a failure scenario.
  • 2Learn why swallowing exceptions silently hides real problems from your test reports.
  • 3Practice writing an error message that clearly explains what went wrong when a test fails.
