Capturing bitmaps
Note SilkTest uses .rmp for bitmaps that are captured within a
testcase and fail verification.
Capturing bitmaps in
SilkTest
You can compare a baseline bitmap captured in the bitmap tool with one
captured in a SilkTest testcase of your application.
·
If you write testcases by hand, you can use SilkTest's built-in bitmap
functions.
·
If you prefer to record testcases via Record/Testcase, the Verify Window
dialog allows you to record a bitmap-related verification statement.
Using bitmap
functions
CaptureBitmap, SYS_CompareBitmap, WaitBitmap, and VerifyBitmap are
built-in bitmap-related 4Test functions. In particular, VerifyBitmap is useful
for comparing a screen image during the execution of a testcase to a baseline
bitmap created in the bitmap tool. If the comparison fails, SilkTest saves the
actual bitmap in a file. In the following example, the code compares the
testcase bitmap (the baseline) against the bitmap of TestApp captured by
VerifyBitmap:
TestApp.VerifyBitmap ("c:\sample\testbase.bmp")
For a complete description of these functions, see the online Help.
Using Record/
Testcase
Procedure To capture a bitmap during recording:
1
Invoke the dialog by pointing at the object you want to capture and
pressing Ctrl+Alt.
2
Then select the Bitmap tab.
The Bitmap panel shown below is for the document window of the Text
Editor application.
