About the Verify
Window dialog
The Verify Window dialog has three tabs.
The dialog has these tabs by default.
Attribute tab On non-Windows platforms, the Verify Window dialog has an
Attribute tab instead of a Property tab. You use the Attribute tab on non-
Windows platforms to verify a characteristic of the object. For information on
verification using attributes, see "Verifying object attributes" on page 130.
About attributes and properties Properties and attributes in this context
are similar--they both are used to verify a characteristic of the object.
However, properties are more encompassing, more flexible, and easier to use.
For example, using attributes you can only verify one attribute at a time (or
verify every attribute for an object and all its children); using properties you
can verify selected properties of an object and any or all of its children at the
same time.
Under Windows, you can choose to verify an object using attributes instead
of properties, though you will seldom choose attributes, except for
compatibility with previous releases of QA Partner.
Procedure To verify using attributes under Windows:
1
Select Options/Recorder.
2
The Recorder Options dialog appears.
3
Deselect the Verify Using Properties check box.
Note You will not be able to deselect this check box if you have
enabled enhanced support for Visual Basic or PowerBuilder, both
of which require properties for verification.
4
Click OK.
