Using Recovery scenario manager, we can handle the exceptions (unexpected errors) in the QTP script.
Using the Recovery Scenario Manager dialog box, you can then select any recovery file to manage all of the recovery scenarios stored in that file. This enables you to edit a selected recovery scenario, associate specific recovery scenarios with specific tests or components to instruct QuickTest to implement the recovery scenarios when specified trigger events occur, and so forth.
The following are the possible exceptions that can occur in the QTP script:
1.Pop-Up
2.Test Run Error
3.Application crash
4.Object State\Object Event
