By recording verification statements for the values of one or more of an
object's attributes, you can determine whether the state of the application is
correct or in error when you run your testcases. That is: did the feature you
are testing have the expected result?

Note Attributes have been essentially rendered obsolete and have
been replaced by properties. See "Verifying using properties" on
page 115.

Procedure To verify an attribute of a GUI object:

Select Options/Recorder.

Drive your application to the test state and press Ctrl+Alt.

The Verify Window dialog opens with the Attribute tab displayed.

Select an attribute from the list box.

The current value of the attribute (that is, the value that exists when you
are recording) is shown in the Attribute Value field.
