Identification Method - By Location
Creating Verification Points in GUI Scripts
4-16
By Content
Use this method to verify that the recorded values exist during playback. This
method is location-independent. For example, if you record a value of 100, the
verification point passes as long as the value 100 exists during playback.
The following figure shows baseline data captured using Items By Content. During
playback, the verification point passes because the recorded value exists even though
its location changes.
By Location
Use this method to verify that the recorded values exist in the same locations during
playback. For example, when you test items in a menu, use By Location to verify
that the locations of the recorded menu items remain the same during playback.
You can also use By Location to verify that the locations of recorded column and
row values remain the same during playback.
The following figure shows baseline data captured using Columns By Location and
Rows by Location. During playback, the verification point passes because the
locations of the recorded values remain the same.
By Title
Use this method to verify that the recorded values remain with their titles (names
of menus or columns) during playback, even though the columns may have
changed locations.
