How to use Verification Point Comparator Utility of RFT for comparing the Verification Point Data?

We use the "Verification Point Comparator" for comparing the verification point data after playing back a script with a verification point and to update the baseline file.

In case the verification point happens to fail, the "Comparator" displays both types of values i.e. the expected and actual ones, so that we can draw a comparison. This provides us adequate information for updating the baseline file with the actual values from the actual file.The Comparator can be opened by either of the following methods:


1) Double-clicking the verification point in the RFT log in the "TestManager".

2) Clicking the View Results link in the RFT HTML log.

The Title of the Verification point gets displayed in the "Comparator" banner.

This short tutorial presents a simple method of using Verification Point Comparator Utility of RFT for comparing the verification point data

Steps to compare and update the verification point data using the Comparator:

Step – 1: Record a script in RFT and ensure that it must have at least one verification point.

Step – 2: Play back the script containing the verification point on a new build of the application under test.

Step – 3: View the log of the concerned playback after it gets finished.

Step – 4: Open the "Comparator" from the log & view the verification point by the following.

a) In case of use of the TestManager log: Double click the verification point in the "Event Type" column. Expanding the Script Start command can enable us to see the verification point.

b) In case of use of the HTML log: Click the "View Results" link. At this stage we are likely to get a Java plug-in error. Thus to avoid this error, ensure that the Java plug-in is properly configured.

The Verification Point Comparator opens to display that verification point.
