I want to continue my test suite execution once one test case fails. Currently if one test case fails, Jubula stops execution.

Hi there,

You can use Event Handlers to do this. An Event Handler is a normal test case that only gets executed when an error occurs.

Documentation on using Event Handlers is here:
http://help.eclipse.org/luna/topic/org.eclipse.jubula.client.ua.help/html/manual/node290.html?cp=36_2_25

There is also an article on best practices for using event handlers to ensure that each individual test case in your test suite can run. The main ideas are:

- build test cases that test one function and have no dependencies to other test cases
- provide each test case with event handlers that perform e.g. a restart (or some other tear down) then re-setup the application in the state you require it to be for the next test case

The full details are here:
http://testing.bredex.de/test-cases-for-continuous-integration.html

And a general article about it is here:

Hope that helps!
