The Verify Window dialog is closed, and the Record Status window is
opened.
The testcase will verify that the object has the attribute value selected. If not,
an error is written to the results file.
Verifying all attributes By selecting the Verify All Attributes check box,
you can record a test that verifies the state, contents, and value of a GUI
object and any objects it contains. This is commonly called a smoke test or a
Level 1 test. A smoke test uses the VerifyEverything method to verify every
aspect of a particular GUI object.
Procedure To verify everything about a GUI object:
1
Select the Verify All Attributes check box.
2
Click OK.
The Verify Window dialog is closed, and the Record Status window is
opened.
Defining additional attributes If you need to, you can define and add your
own attributes to the built-in hierarchy of GUI classes. For more information,
see "Defining new attributes" on page 311.

you have recorded, press Done on the Record Status window.
The Record Testcase window is redisplayed. The Testcase Code field
