How to handle the exceptions

By using Recovery Scenario Manager, we can handle the exceptions occurred while running the test.

Recovery is a concept like exception handling in a programming language, which can be applied when an unexpected failure occurs.


When TO Use:
We should use Recovery Scenario only for unpredictable events, or events that cannot synchronize with a specific step in our test.

4 Exceptions in QTP:
1. Popup Window - A popup window appears in an open application during a test run.
2. Object State - Property of the object changes its state or value.
3. Run Error - A step in the test does not run successfully
4. Application Crash - An open application fails during a test run.

3 Types of Recovery Scenarios:
1. Triggered Events - Trigger is nothing but the cause for initiating the recovery scenario.
2. Recovery Steps - It defines what needs to be done, when recovery scenario has been triggered.
3. Post Recovery Test Run - It defines what need to be done after the recovery action has been taken. It could be repeat the step or move to next step etc..
