Hello,

we use the following structure for our tests: Note: The use of TCs for a fragmentation into test steps is made due to the possibility to have a description of each step and to attach various data connectors logically.

Anyway the problem is the error behaviour in this case of structuring.
If the TM in "TestCaseA_Step1" fails there's no way to stop the "TestCaseA_Step1" and start with the next iteration of "TestCaseA".
If I set the error behaviour of "TestCaseA_Step1" to 'Stop', the whole TestSuite stops (thats not what I expect, better name would be "Stop test suite").
What we realy need is a 'Stop' that stops and fails the current TC and then go to the next superior hierarchy level and use thats error behaviour.

What I would expect:

• TestCaseA (Continue with sibling); TestCaseA_Step1 (Stop)
  An error in "TestCaseA_Step1" stops and fails "TestCaseA_Step1"; next "TestCaseA_Step2" within the same iteration is executed.
• TestCaseA (Stop); TestCaseA_Step1 (Stop)
  An error in "TestCaseA_Step1" stops and fails "TestCaseA_Step1" and "TestCaseA"; next "TestCaseB" is executed.
• TestCaseA (Continue with iteration); TestCaseA_Step1 (Stop)
  An error in "TestCaseA_Step1" stops and fails "TestCaseA_Step1"; next iteration of "TestCaseA" is executed.
• ...

I think there's a strong need for extended error behaviour settings---also for the test suite itself!

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. I will add your requirements to our internal bug tracking system.

Thank you Peter for adding our request.
We hopefully look forward to see that feature in a future release.
