Hi,

1.&nbsp; Is there an option to ignore a failure of a step, and continue to the next action or stage even if even there was a failure?

2. How do I know what is the success rate of unit tests? For example 10 out of 20 passed so I will get 50% shown or inserted into a parameter.

Cheers.

Hi,  
  
1. Currently if an action fails then that stage will also fail. Unit test actions are different however, as the test actions have an option where you can specify whether a failed test should also fail the action.  
&nbsp;

2. You can access the success rates of unit tests through the expressions $Stage.Metrics.UnitTests.PercentPassed$, $Stage.Metrics.UnitTests.PercentFailed$, $Stage.Metrics.UnitTests.PercentErrors$ and $Stage.Metrics.UnitTests.PercentNotRun$. These expressions can be used in stage gates to determine whether a stage is considered successful or has failed.

Check out our wiki page on expressions at&nbsp;[http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/pages/…eId=655772](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=655772)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Am I missing something with MSTest&nbsp; or the ignore option doesn't exists?

Cheers.

Hi,   
  
 I have added the ‘fail action if tests fail’ property to the MSTest action which should be available in the next build, which should be released today. I will let you know once the build is live
