Verifying text in a manual test script

When you expect certain text to be in the test application, you can associate that text with a step in a manual test script. Then, during a test run, the expected text is compared with the information in the application. For example, you can compare long strings of numbers or blocks of text.

1. In the Manual Steps section of a test script, click the Show/Hide Contents icon and select the Show Attachments/Links checkbox.
2. Select the step to add verification text to.
3. In the column next to the step, click the Assisted Data Entry/Verification icon .
4. In the window that opens, enter the verification text, and then click OK.
   The steps that contain comparison text are marked with an Assisted Data Entry/Verification icon.

   Tip: To edit or remove comparison text, next to the step that contains the text, click Assisted Data Entry/Verification. Then, click either Edit Assisted Data Entry/Verification or Remove Assisted Data Entry/Verification.
5. Run a test.
   During the test run, when you reach a step that contains verification text, a window opens.
6. Copy and paste the text from the application that you are testing into the Paste Text to Compare field.
   The results indicate whether the comparison is a success or a failure.
