Soft assertion and Verify are two common approaches used in automated #testing .
- Soft assertion: A soft assertion is a test assertion that does not immediately stop the test execution upon failure. Instead, it records the failure, and continues executing the test. This allows multiple assertions to be executed, with all failures reported at the end of the test execution.
- Verify: Verify is a type of test assertion that checks the expected condition and continues the test execution even if the condition is not met. Unlike soft assertion, it does not record the failure. Instead, it simply reports whether the condition was met or not. This approach is useful for tests where the expected condition is not critical to the success of the test, but it is still important to monitor the condition for debugging purposes.
In general, soft assertions are more flexible and provide more information about test failures, while verify is simpler and more focused on reporting the status of a condition. The choice between the two depends on the specific needs of the test scenario.
