Check points

Check points are used to verify the properties of GUI objects, Images, data bases…..

Check points allows us to compare the current behaviors of the application with earlier behavior of the application.

Types of check points:

1.     Standard check point

2.     Text check point

3.     Text area check point

4.     Bitmap check point

5.     Data base check point

6.     Accessibility check point

7.     XML check point from Application

8.     XML check point from Resource

Operational overview of Check point:

IT is divided into 2 phases.

1.     Pre-Execution phase :

i) Captures the expected value

ii) Generates the corresponding test script statement

2.     While Execution phase:

i) Captures the actual value

ii) Compare the actual value with expected value

iii) Display the result.

Disadvantages:

1.     It takes more time to verify and validate and hence test execution time is more

2.     It depends on the screen resolution and hence it might vary from system to system.

Note: In real time we mostly avoid use of check points.
