Analyzing XML Checkpoint Results

By adding XML Checkpoints to your tests, you can verify the data in your XML documents is not
changing. This enables you to ensure that the data and structure is not changing unexpectedly.

When you run the test, QuickTest compares the expected results of the checkpoint to the current results.
If the results do not match, the checkpoint fails. You can view the results of the checkpoint in the Test
Results window along with using the XML Viewer.
