Which is the best assertion to be used Soft or Hard assertions?

[Gumpalli Prasanna]

Hi Team,

Please can you help me understand which is the best assertion to be used ?

Soft or Hard assertions?

Here are few factors i would like to understand about the soft and hard assertions:

1. Execution time

2. Space constraint.

3. Test coverage 

Regards,

Prasanna

None of the factors you listed are applicable for both soft and hard asserts. 

Soft asserts - record failures but dont fail the test right away but do it at the end of the test ( when assertAll() is invoked )

Hard asserts - record a failure and break the test execution right at that point itself. 

A quick search on the internet should give you more elaborate tutorials documents regarding hard and soft asserts. 

Thanks & Regards
