Soft Asserts are used when the test script (or test method) need not be halted when the assertion condition does not meet the expected result.

How do you use soft assertions?

Soft Assert does not throw an exception when an assert fails and would continue with the next step after the assert statement. If there is any exception and you want to throw it then you need to use assertAll() method as a last statement in the @Test and test suite again continue with next @Test as it is.

Where is soft assert used?

SoftAssert in TestNG helps to collect all the assertions throughout the @Test method. And to see assertions result at the end of the test, we have to invoke assertAll() . SoftAssert don't throw an exception when an assert fails, but it records the failure.
