Inserting a Verification Point from the Script Explorer

The most common way to create a verification point is while you are recording. For information see Creating a Properties Verification Point or Creating a Data Verification Point.

You can also insert a verification point any time from the Script Explorer (in Functional Tester, Java Scripting, the right-most pane and in Functional Test, VB.NET Scripting, the left-most pane) in the Functional Tester window when you are not recording.

To insert a verification point:

  1. Start your test application if it is not open.

  2. Open the script you want to insert the verification point into so that it is displayed in the script window.

  3. Put the cursor at the place in the script that you want to insert the verification point.

  4. Right-click Verification Points in the Script Explorer, and click Insert Verification Point.

    The Verification Point and Action Wizard opens.

  5. On the Select an Object page, use one of the selection methods to pick the object in your application, and click Next. See the Select an Object page for more information about selecting objects.

  6. On the Select an Action page, select one of the verification point types. For more information on Properties verification points, see Creating a Properties Verification Point. For more information on Data verification points, see Creating a Data Verification Point. Click Next.

  7. Edit the verification point properties or data.

    See the Verification Point Data page for more information about editing the data in this page.

  8. Click Finish.

    The verification point will be added to your script in the location of the cursor, and will be added to the Script Explorer in the Verification Points list.

    Note: If you click Finish and have no properties or data selected for testing (checked), a warning will display and the script is not modified.
