In this lesson, you create a verification point with a
datapool reference to check that the price for the CD is correct in
the ClassicsCD application.
A verification point captures
object information and literal values from the application-under-test
and stores it as the baseline for comparison during playback. When
you play back the script, a verification point captures the object
information again to compare it to the baseline and see if any changes
have occurred, either intentionally or unintentionally. Comparing
the actual object information in a script to the baseline is useful
for identifying potential defects.
You will use a datapool
reference instead of a literal value for the value that you are testing
in the verification point. Using datapools with verification points
gives you more flexibility to test realistic data with your test scripts.
