Pattern summary
Automated scripts should be able to react to unexpected incidents without disrupting execution
Category
Execution
Context
This pattern is especially useful for long living automation where unexpected changes would otherwise disrupt execution.
Description
Incidents can be:
- unexpected windows or pop-ups
- windows that sometimes show up and sometimes don't
- actions that take variable time to execute
Your test scripts must be able to react accordingly so that execution can continue.
Implementation
Depending on the type of incidents, here are some suggestions about how to react:
- Unexpected Windows or pop-ups: modern tools offer the option to just click them off.
- For windows that don't always show up or actions that take variable time to execute: look up the pattern VARIABLE DELAYS.
Potential problems
Be careful when clicking off an unexpected window: it could be a bug! Instead of ignoring it, write a warning in the log.
Issues addressed by this pattern
Experiences
If you have used this pattern, please add your name and a brief story of how you used this pattern: your context, what you did, and how well it worked - or how it didn't work!.................................................................................................................Main Page / Back to Execution Patterns/ Back to Test Automation Patterns
