The File Comparison Results page shows the result formed by the Check method of the Files.FileObject_Name object. To view the page, click Details in the Link column of the Test Log panel.

The page shows the difference between the two files compared by the method. One of them is a baseline file stored in the Stores | Files collection. The other is a checked file passed to the method as a parameter.

  • Dark green - The highlighted characters are different.

  • Light coral - The line is absent from the compared file.
