Lesson 2: Creating a verification point

You can learn about creating a verification point for an action that you recorded on an application under test (AUT). Verification points verify that a certain action has taken place, or they verify the state of a control or an object during the play back of tests.

You must have completed the following tasks:

Generated a Web UI test. See Lesson 1: Recording actions on an AUT.
Read and been familiar with verification points. See Verification points.
Ensured that the Test Contents panel of the test editor window is displayed.

You can create a verification point for a recorded action in the SmartShot View tab of the test editor window and view the verification step in the test.

Select the test step that corresponds to the first click action that you performed on the Log in link on the Wikipedia website.

The screen capture and properties for the click action are displayed in the SmartShot View tab.
Note: Verify whether the click action is highlighted in the screen capture that is displayed in the SmartShot subtab.
Right-click the row with Log in in the Properties panel of the SmartShot View tab.
Select Create verification point for ‘Content'.

A verification point is created for the selected click action and the verification step is added in the Test Contents panel with the icon.
Click File > Save to save the changes.

In this lesson, you have learned to create a verification point for an action that you recorded on an AUT.

You can learn about running a test to verify whether the test scenario was played back successfully by Test UI. See Lesson 3: Running a test.
