Objectives

Use for test scripts
  • Understand the purpose and business flow of retry logic after first api failure.
  • Design stable locators for key UI elements.
  • Automate user interactions and verify the resulting UI state.

Retry logic after first API failure

Fail once, then auto-retry to succeed.

Reading and understanding requirements Choosing stable locators Designing assertions based on business rules

Learning objectives

  • Simulate transient failure.
  • Perform retry once.
  • Verify status transition from failure to success.

Steps

  1. Trigger request (first attempt fails).
  2. Retry automatically after short delay.
  3. Assert success on second attempt.

Practice sandbox

Auto-retry after initial failure.

Assertions to practice

  • First attempt shows error.
  • Auto-retry after delay.
  • Status transitions to success on retry.
