How to Analyze the Checpoint results by Table and DB Checkpoints?..

Answer / dharmandar

By adding table checkpoints to your tests or components, you can check that a specified value is displayed in a cell in a table on your application. By adding database checkpoints to your tests or components, you can check the contents of databases accessed by your application.

The results displayed for table and database checkpoints are similar. When you run your test or component, QuickTest compares the expected results of the checkpoint to the actual results of the run session. If the results do not match, the checkpoint fails.

You can check that a specified value is displayed in a cell in a table by adding a table checkpoint to your test or component. For ActiveX tables, you can also check the properties of the table object. To add a table checkpoint, you use the Checkpoint Properties dialog box.

Table checkpoints are supported for Web and ActiveX applications, as well as for a variety of external add-in environments.

You can use database checkpoints in your test or component to check databases accessed by your Web site or application and to detect defects. You define a query on your database, and then you create a database checkpoint that checks the results of the query.

Database checkpoints are supported for all environments supported by QuickTest, by default, as well as for a variety of external add-in environments.

There are two ways to define a database query:

(a) Use Microsoft Query. You can install Microsoft Query from the custom installation of Microsoft Office.
(b) Manually define an SQL statement.

The Checkpoint timeout option is available only when creating a table checkpoint. It is not available when creating a database checkpoint

Hi all, On recording a particular Web application with QTP,Have came across a problem for which I havent found a solution so far.. The script of importance is as follows: Browser("Personalized Start Page").Page("XYZ").Frame ("mainFrame_4").Link("address.csv").Click Browser("Personalized Start Page").Page("XYZ").Sync Dialog("0% of dms.php from XYZ-").Dialog("File Download").WinButton("Save").Click My problem is that on recording the application with QTP and clicking the "address.csv" link another browser window comes up temporarily followed by the Windows "FileSave" dialog.The browser window which came up closes down when the Windows "FileSave" dialog is visible and I save the file to a windows location. On the "Record and Run" settings under Qtp,have activated settings for web and windows applications. But when I run this recorded script,and after the "address.csv" click,The browser window comes up and goes down,No Windows "FileSave" dialog comes up and the QTP shows the error Dialog("0% of dms.php from XYZ-") object is not found,though this object is there in the repository. Have tried putting the Dialog("0% of dms.php from XYZ- ").Exist property.But the "Exist" property is not recognised by the dialog at all. Any help in this direction is appreciated.. Thanks in advance J
