You can create data verification points to test the data in your
application. When you record the verification point, a baseline of the data
is created. Every time you play back the script, the data is compared to check
if any changes have occurred. This helps in identifying any mismatch in data.
About this task
To create data verification point:
Procedure
- In the Insert Verification Point Data Command window, specify the
verification point data.
- Select a value to create a verification point to verify properties
of the fields as well as the screen. The following values are available:
- All field properties: Checks host field attributes,
such as text, highlight, underline, blink, start or end of row or column.
- Non-static field values: Checks the text values
on the current host screen by fields that cannot be modified.
- Check the text values in the current host window by fields that
cannot be modified. Select one of the following choices:
- Select One Property Verification Point: Enables
checking only one property of the window.
- Data Verification Point: Provides a quick
and easy way of creating a verification point for often tested data such as
OIA information and field text.
- Use the text recognition property with regular expressions to increase
the flexibility of your script when defining a screen. The recognition properties
are located as children of a specific window. For more information about the
text recognition property, see the related topics.
- Playback the script.
Note: While playing back the
script, if any of the verification points fail, then edit the script or object
map.
What to do next
When creating verification points for fields, you might encounter
fields that are marked as
hidden (the hidden attribute is
set to
true) that contain text. This text might be hidden
on the host window (emulator) based on the login authority. If you create
a field data verification point for a hidden field, even though the field
is hidden and is not displayed on the host window, you will see the text that
is in the field in field properties.
