Handle Validation Failures and Continue Scenario Execution

Last reviewed: September 30, 2026

Use this article when a Scenario Editor test should record a validation failure, continue safely, and leave clear evidence for review.

What changed in this article

• Rewrote the question-style title into a clear Scenario Editor failure-handling task.
• Added guidance on soft validation versus hard stop decisions, cleanup actions, screenshots/logs, and result evidence.
• Clarified that continuing after a failure should be intentional and should not hide defects or corrupt downstream steps.

Validation workflow

1. Decide whether the validation failure is safe to continue past or should stop the scenario immediately.
2. Capture evidence such as message text, screenshot, output log entry, or response payload before continuing.
3. Add cleanup or guard steps so later actions do not depend on a failed state.

Review note: This page now explains controlled continuation instead of simply bypassing failures.
