Verification points verify that a certain action has taken place, or verify the state of an object. When you create a verification point, you are capturing information about an object in the application to establish this as baseline information for comparison during playback.
The Insert Verification Point or Action
Command button on the Recording
toolbarf enables you to record verification points. The Verification
Point and Action Wizard has the following pages.
Select an Object -- Where you select the object you want to test. There are three different selection methods.
Perform an Action -- Where you select the test to perform on that object. You can create a Data verification point, create a Properties verification point, get a single property value, or set a wait state on an object.
Variable Name -- This is the third page when you choose a single property value as your action. It is used to name the variable, and to choose whether to declare the variable in your script.
Verification Point Data -- This is the last page when you choose a Data or Properties verification point as your action. In both cases it is used to select the verification point data you want to include in the test.
