Finally Operation

Applies to TestComplete 15.70, last modified on December 11, 2024

Description

Use the Finally operation along with the Try and Catch operations to implement the structured exception handling mechanism in your keyword tests.

  • The Try operation groups operations that may cause an error.

  • The Catch operation contains operations that will be executed if an error occurs in the Try block.

  • The Finally block contains operations that will be executed regardless of whether an error occurs in the Try block. In other words, the Finally operation groups the operations that will perform clean-up actions. These operations can, for example, close some open files or connections, close a form of the tested application and so on.
