Hi All,

Currently The WSO2 Test Framework uses only Hard Asserts to verify the
output of the test.
But if we have the support to have soft asserts we can differentiate
verifications and asserts within the test.

Basically on soft assert/ verification what happens is it will log the
failure but not abort the test. This would be a good addition when we are
running
1. Lengthy test suites with many test methods.
2. Avoid and minimize number of tests skipped because of minor issues.
3. Still we can add more asserts and log many minor failures.

This would be especially useful in UI automation to verify outer scope
functions and Assert function failures please refer [1].

This is not something testing directly supporting but we can implement this
minimal effort.

Thank You,
Dharshana.
