Checkpoints

Applies to TestComplete 14.71, last modified on April 22, 2021

In your tests, you may need to perform various verifications. For example, you may need to check whether a file or a database contains appropriate data or to compare two web pages. With TestComplete, you can do this using comparison commands called checkpoints. TestComplete allows creating checkpoints to compare various types of data: images, object properties, XML documents, PDF files, arbitrary files, web services, and so on.

You can create checkpoints during the test recording as well as at design time. TestComplete provides special wizards that help you specify elements to be compared and generate verification code. TestComplete also includes the Stores project item to store baseline data that will be used in the comparison. This project item can hold images, objects, files, tables and other elements. You can add these elements to Stores from the Project Explorer, the Object Browser, and tests.
