In ATF execution result, if a test step fails remaining steps execution are skipped. Is there a way to make it to execute the remaining steps even though some step fails.

Hello Srikan,



Basically the ATF module is to provide you with the ability to run automatic check on your DEV envy.
This way you can see if a potential change which you are planning to implement on your PROD will have a negative impact on the already existing infrastructure, fore example.
The whole idea of the ATF functionality is for the atf designer / admin or other party to see where the functionality being tested will fail due to an error in its configuration or etc.
I personally do not see why you would like to continue the execution of ATF test's steps while you are having a failed one.
Instead, I would suggest you to ensure that you will cover the failed one and then continue to the remaining ones.

What's the exact error due to which the step of yours fails?

Hi Srikanth,

I think there is no way to skip the failed test steps and execute next test steps in ATF and you have check the failed one to make it pass.

Thanks Georgi and Anil for your response.

I was validating if a field is read only. But its not. due to which it failed. 

Since other field validations in next steps can be continued i thought of checking if we can overcome this.

Hello again, Strikan,



If this is the case, then the ATF will not let you skip the failed step.
If you are performing Field Value(s) Validation, then the value input of the field(s) will have to cover (satisfy) the selected step (validation). 


P.S: I will appreciate in case your query has been answered - if you mark this thread as answered by selecting a correct answer, so others may use it as reference for future situations;
