test.vp

Boolean test.vp(name)

Boolean test.vp(name, message)

This function executes the verification point called name. If the verification point's comparison succeeds, a test result of type PASS is added to the test log and this function returns a true value. Otherwise a result of type FAIL is added to the test log and a false value is returned.

If the verification point refers to an object that is not found, the function will return a false value, and possibly pop up an object not found dialog, if Squish is configured that way.

If the optional message parameter (of type string—e.g., a comment, bug number, or test plan reference) is present, it will be added to the test result whether the test passed or failed.

In the event of a FAIL, the testcase proceeds to the next test statement unless squishrunner is configured to --abortOnFail.

The testSettings.breakOnFailure property can be used to make the debugger stop in case the verification fails.

The testSettings.throwOnFailure property can be used to make this function raise a script exception in case the verification fails.
