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.
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.
