Applies to TestComplete 14.70, last modified on April 22, 2021
Mobile checkpoints are deprecated. We do not recommend using them when creating new tests.

The Create Mobile Checkpoint wizard displays the Select a Region in the Image page if you choose to capture a new image for your checkpoint.

The page shows the screen of your connected mobile device:

Note: In order for TestComplete to be able to access an iOS device’s screen, your application running on the device must be prepared for testing. For information on how to prepare iOS applications for testing, see Preparing iOS Applications.

The red frame indicates the recognition area of the image you are going to capture. TestComplete will search for the recognition area on screen when you address the image in tests.
