Checkpoint Wizard - Selecting Data to Validate (Table Checkpoints)

Table checkpoints compare contents of a tabular control with data stored in a Table element of the Stores > Tables collection.

On this page of the Checkpoint wizard, you specify columns and rows that the checkpoint will verify.

1. By default, the checkpoint will verify all rows, which the wizard retrieves from the control.

   To limit the number of rows that the checkpoint will verify, select the Validate specific number of rows check box, and then enter the desired number of rows.

   To verify all table rows, clear the check box.

2. Select the columns that the checkpoint will verify:

   • To mark a table column for storing and verification, select its check box in the Store column of the page.

   • To mark a table column as a Key column, select its check box in the Key column of the page. TestComplete uses the key column (or a combination of several columns) to identify rows. To provide a unique identification of table records, key column values must be different in each row. The key columns affects how the table checkpoint performs the verification (see How the Table Comparison Procedure Works).

In the The name of the Stores object text box, enter the name for your baseline data. This name will be used in tests to address the checkpoint.

On the Preview tab page of the wizard, you can view the data that the wizard has retrieved from the table according to the specified criteria.

To exit the wizard and add the table checkpoint to your test, click Finish.
