What Are QTP Check Points in HP Quick Test Pro

QTP Check Points

HP acquired Mercury interactive to get the Quick Test Professional testing suite. QTP is now a part of Hewlett Packard’s suite of Quality Center Tools. Providing functional and regression test automation for software applications and environments QTP is used for enterprise quality assurance.

 

HP QTP supports keyword and scripting interfaces and features a graphical user interface.[3] It uses the Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) scripting language to specify a test procedure, and to manipulate the objects and controls of the application under test.[3]

 

 

 

A checkpoint verifies that expected information is displayed in an 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 an Application. A text checkpoint checks that a text string is displayed in the appropriate place on an Application. An object checkpoint (Standard) checks the values of an object on an Application. An image checkpoint checks the values of an image on an Application. A table checkpoint checks information within a table on a Application. An Accessibility 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

 

 

 

We can add checkpoints while recording the application or we can add after recording is completed using Active screen (Note : To perform the second one The Active screen must be enabled while recording).

 

Put another way Check points are nothing but a one method which checks the content before or after any step.

 

User can customize setting according to his/her needs.
