The blog post provides a comprehensive guide on implementing exception tests in TestNG, a popular Java testing framework, which is crucial for ensuring software stability and reliability in automation testing, particularly in applications like banking. Exception tests are vital as they help verify that applications behave correctly under exceptional scenarios, reducing risks and aiding compliance. The post explains the concept of exceptions as events disrupting program flow, often due to errors or unusual conditions, and demonstrates how TestNG's @Test annotation with the expectedExceptions attribute can be utilized to write these tests. Various common exceptions encountered in automation, such as NullPointerException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, and TimeoutException, are discussed, emphasizing how exception testing improves code quality, enables early issue detection, and increases confidence in application stability. The blog also provides practical examples and step-by-step instructions on writing and executing exception tests in TestNG, using Selenium WebDriver and the LambdaTest Cloud Grid, showcasing how exception messages can be asserted to ensure correct handling.
