[Dev] [Integration Tests] What is the advantage of Exception being thrown in test methods instead of the specific subclass of it?

[Manuri Amaya Perera]

Hi,

I got to know it is recommended to throw Exception in test methods instead
of the specific sub class of it. But generally in methods the good practice
is to throw the exception of the specific sub class.

I'd like to know $subject.

Thank you.

Hi Manuri,

Even if we throws the sub classes in test methods , no one will handle
those exception explicitly. It is handled by TestNg and TestsNg marked them
error when exception is thrown from a test method and we can see the actual
exception class in test reports. Throwing super class also make sure that
the test method will not be broken even exception classes is changed in the
method which are used in test methods.

Please refer the mail thread "Best Practice in Throwing Exceptions in test
methods signature"@dev

Thanks,
Nuwanw

Hi Manuri,

In my point of view The Exception is the super class of all subclass of
exceptions inherited. In case you know strongly which type of exception
could be thrown while execution it is better to use the exact instance of
sub class of exception rather than catching generic exception while the
execution

Hi Rajeenthini,

We don't catch any exception inside test methods we just throw the
Exception from it. Even though if you catch the exception and throw the
specific exception testng is the one going to handle this. If you see the
testng report you can see the stack trace of the exception where it occur.

Thanks,
Iqbal

[Manuri Amaya Perera]

Hi Nuwan,

I was thinking that even though these exceptions are not explicitly
handled, throwing the specific exception will make the code more
understandable for someone who reads these test cases. Anyway the reasons
you mentioned seem to be more important.

Thank you.
