Viewing a Verification Point in the Comparators

Chapter 6 - Evaluating Tests
Viewing a Verification Point in the Comparators
In the
Details
page of the Test Log window, failed events appear in red in the
Result
column. If the event is a failed verification point of a test script created using Robot,
you can analyze the failure using one of the Comparators.
To view a verification point in a Comparator:
1
Open a test log.
2
Click the
Details
tab.
3
Right-click a verification point and click
View Verification Point
.
The appropriate Comparator opens based on the type of verification point, as shown
in the following table. You can then analyze the results to determine whether the
failure was caused by a defect or an intentional change in the application.
Note:
QualityArchitect uses the Grid Comparator to display verification point
information.
For more information about the four Comparators, see Using the Comparators on
page 221.
Failure indications in test logs do not necessarily mean that the application-under-test
has failed. Evaluate each verification point failure with the appropriate Comparator
to determine whether it is an actual defect, a playback environment difference, or an
intentional design change made to a new build of the application-under-test.
