A checkpoint verifies that expected information is 
displayed in a Application while the test is running. You 
can add eight types of checkpoints to your test for 
standard web objects using QTP.
?A page checkpoint checks the characteristics of a 
Application
?A text checkpoint checks that a text string is displayed 
in the appropriate place on a Application. 
?An object checkpoint (Standard) checks the values of an 
object on a Application. 
?An image checkpoint checks the values of an image on a 
Application. 
?A table checkpoint checks information within a table on a 
Application
?An Accessiblity checkpoint checks the web page for Section 
508 compliance. 
?An XML checkpoint checks the contents of individual XML 
data files or XML documents that are part of your Web 
application.
?A database checkpoint checks the contents of databases 
accessed by your web site

check points are used for checking the conditions within 
the script..

check points are similar to the conditional statements(like 
If, if else,for, while etc)

we can have one or more check points for an object or 
multiple objects with in a test.

Results in the results page are updated based on the check 
points.
 
QTP supports 7 types of check points

1.Standard Check point

2.Text Check point

3.Text Area Check point

4.Bit Map Check point

5.Accessibility Check Point

6.Data Base Check point

7.XML Check Point

Additional Check points for Web application

8.Image Check Point

9.Page Checck point

When we execute a script with check points, if the check 
point fails then the expected value along with the actual 
value is captured with the image of that object.

having many check points in a script will reduce the speed 
of execution.

a checkpoints is a specialized step that two values and
reports the result.
checkpoint compare the actual result value from the test run
run with the expected result in a test plan .

the expected result are based on what is recorded .and the
actual result are based on what occur during a test run.
if two values match the checkpoints pass otherwise
checkpoints fail .there r 9 type of checkpoints in qtp.

A Check point is used to compare our Expected value with our
build Actual Value. There are 8 types of Check points in QTP.

1) Standard checkpoint.

It is used for checking the properties values on standard
GUI values.
It can be inserted in 2 ways.

	Through application
	Through active screen
2) Bitmap checkpoint.
It is used for checking the complete bitmap or a part of a
Bitmap.
It cam be inserted in 2 ways.

	Through the application.
	Through the active screen.
3) Text Checkpoint
It is used for checking the Text present on a object. It can
be inserted through application as well as through active
screen.

4) Text Area Checkpoint
It is used for checking the test present in a specified
area. It can be inserted only through application but not
through active screen.
5) Data Base Check Point
It is used for checking the contents of a database.
6) XML (Extended Markup Language) Checkpoint
It is used for checking the contents of an XML file.
It is a universally understandable language and used for
data transformations.
Web Checkpoints
7) Page Checkpoint
It is used for checking the properties of a web page like
Load time, Number of Links and number of Images.
8) Table Checkpoint:
It is used for checking the contents of a web table.
9) Image Checkpoint
10) Accessibility Checkpoint
It is used for checking whether the page can be accessible
by more number of people or not. In order to check the same
actually it checks whether the page is developed according
to the WWW  (world wide web Consorted) standards or not.

3. Database Check Point
4. Text Check Point
5. Text Area Check Point
6. Accessibility Check Point
7. XML Check Point - From Application
8. XML Check Point - From resource

# To check the object propertes in running time.
# Verification point.
# To check actual result and expected result.
Example:
        
    actual   = OK 
    expected = OK
  
  * here actual ana expected result are same so "Pass" test
scrip........

A checkpoint verifies that expected information is 
displayed in a Application while the test is running. You 
can add ten types of checkpoints to your test for 
standard web objects using QTP.
1.Standard Checkpoints- Checks values of an object's 
properties.e.g-Check that a radio button is selected.
2.Image Checkpoint- Check the properties values of an 
image. e.g-Check that image source file is corrct.
3.Tabel Checkpoint- Check information in tabel. e.g-Check 
that value in a tabel cell is correct.
4.Page Checkpoint- Check the characterstics of a web page. 
e.g-Check how long a web page takes to load or if a web 
page contains broken links.
5.Text Checkpoint- Check that a text string is displayed in 
the appropriate place in a web page or application. e.g-
Check whether the expected text string is displayed in the 
expected location in a test object.
6.Text Area Checkpoint- Check that a text string is 
displayed within defined area in a window- based 
application. e.g-Check that an area of a dialog box 
includes text that was entered in another part of the 
application.
7.Bitmap Checkpoint- Check an area of an web page or 
application after capturing it as a bitmap. e.g- Check that 
a web page  or any portion of it) displayes as expected.
8.Database Checkpoint- Check the contents of the database 
accessed by an application or website. e.g- Check that 
value in a database query is correct.
9.Accessibility Checkpoint- Identifies areeas of a website 
to check for section 508 comliancy. e.g- Check if the image 
on a web page include ALT properties, required by the W3C 
Web Content Accessibilty guidelines.
10.XML Checkpoint- Check the data content of XML documents. 
e.g- Check the content of an element to make sure that its 
tags, attributes and values have not changed.
Note:-XML file checkpoint are used to check a specified XML 
file; XML application checkpoints are used to check an XML 
document within a web page.

A checkpoint verifies that expected information is 
displayed in your application while the test is running.

There are 9 types of Check points, Namely

1)Standard Checkpoint - Checks values of an object’s
                        properties.

2)Image Checkpoint - Checks the property values of
                     an image.

3)Table Checkpoint - Checks information in a table.

4)Page Checkpoint - Checks the characteristics of a
                    Web page.

5)Text /Text Area Checkpoint - Checks that a text string is
displayed in the appropriate place in a Web page or 
application window.

6)Bitmap Checkpoint - Checks an area of a Web page or 
application after capturing it as a bitmap.

7)Database Checkpoint - Checks the contents of
databases accessed by an application or Web site.

8)Accessibility Checkpoint - Identifies areas of a Web site 
to check for Section 508 compliancy.

9)XML Checkpoint - Checks the data content of XML documents.
