A check is a definition of the expected state of some aspect of the target system at a particular point. In Test Partner, checks are saved and managed as http://onestoptesting.com/partner/# - – Bitmap checks allow you to verify the appearance of a bitmap image. When you create the check, you capture the image within a rectangular area of the screen. When the check is verified, the same area is captured and compared to the defined image. If the two images match according to the criteria you defined, the check passes. If not, the check fails. These checks are used to check the appearance of toolbars, the desktop, and other windows that contain non-textual information.

ii) Clock Check:-

– Clock checks measure the time the system takes to perform a process. Clock checks help you determine how the system performs under varying http://onestoptesting.com/partner/# - Content checks test the contents of tables and list controls in a window or web page. A content check enables you to verify the contents of controls that it supports. Currently, tables and list controls in a Windows-based or Web-based application are supported. The Windows NT Version 4 desktops are also list controls.

The content check for tables enables you to optionally check the number of rows and columns in the table and the case of the text in each table cell.

The content check for list controls enables you to optionally check the number of items, positions of the items, which item(s) are selected, the text of each list item, and the case of the text.

iv) Field Check:-–

Like text checks, Field checks enable you to verify that required text is present in the target application, but they enable you to verify that text as data, such as numbers or dates. For example, you can see if a value falls between a lower and upper limit, or if a particular area of the screen contains today’s date. You can create field checks that verify the following data:

  • ASCII values
  • Numeric values
  • Date values (fixed and aged)
  • Time values
  • Patterns
v) Property Check:-

– Property checks verify the properties of the controls in a dialog or http://onestoptesting.com/partner/# - – Text checks provide an exact comparison of the text in a window or individual area to defined text. If you check a whole screen, areas that contain legitimately variable data, such as dates and login IDs, can be ignored. Unlike bitmap checks, which simply compare the appearance of an area of the screen with an expected appearance, text checks actually read the displayed data as strings. This enables more sophisticated checking to be performed.
