GUI Checkpoints: in This Lesson You Will Learn

This document discusses how to use GUI checkpoints in automated testing to check the state of GUI objects. It explains that GUI checkpoints allow verifying attributes of objects and windows, such as labels, enabled status, and text. Checkpoints can check a single object or multiple objects by comparing actual results to expected results stored in checklist and expected results files. The document provides examples of how to set up and perform different types of GUI checkpoints.

GUI Checkpoint
• Check the state of an object/window by querying
attributes:
– Does the window have the correct size? (width/height)
– Is the checkbox on/off? (value)
– Is the button enabled? (enabled)
– Is an edit field in focus? (focus)
• You can perform a single object check or a
multiple object check
What Do You Want to Check?
For each type of object or window you can perform different
checks
– objects and windows have many attributes you can query, so there are many
checks you can perform

WinRunner stores:
– the object or window in a checklist file
– the attribute(s) that you want to check in a checklist file
– the expected results of the attributes you are checking in
an expected results file

– all the attribute(s) that you want to check in a checklist file
– the expected results of all the attributes you are checking in

Summary
• Use GUI checkpoints to check GUI objects

• Based on documented test case and/or requirement


specifications:
– determine the objects or windows to verify
– determine what attributes to check

• Use Check GUI -> Object/Window to check a single object

• Use Check GUI -> Checklist to check multiple objects
