An output value is a step in which one or more values are captured at a

specific point in your test or component and stored for the duration of the

run session. The values can later be used as input at a different point in the

run session.

 

BitMap Checkpoints

 

You can check an area of a Web page or application as a bitmap. While

creating a test or component, you specify the area you want to check by

selecting an object. You can check an entire object or any area within an

object. QuickTest captures the specified object as a bitmap, and inserts a

checkpoint in the test or component. You can also choose to save only the

selected area of the object with your test or component in order to save disk

space.

When you run the test or component, QuickTest compares the object or

selected area of the object currently displayed on the Web page or

application with the bitmap stored when the test or component was

recorded. If there are differences, QuickTest captures a bitmap of the actual

object and displays it with the expected bitmap in the details portion of the

Test Results window. By comparing the two bitmaps (expected and actual).

To create a bitmap checkpoint while recording:

1 Choose Insert > Checkpoint > Bitmap Checkpoint or click the arrow beside

the Insert Checkpoint button and choose Bitmap Checkpoint.

The saved Bitmap can also be modified.

 

Accessiblity Checkpoint:

Accessibility Checkpoint identifies areas of your Web site that may not

conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content

Accessibility Guidelines. For example, guideline 1.1 of the W3C Web

Content Accessibility Guidelines requires you to provide a text equivalent

for every non-text element. You can add an Alt property check to check

whether objects that require the Alt property under this guideline, do in fact

have this tag.
