Phase 6 · Programming Fundamentals for Automation
TopicsException 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.
