Locating and Comparing Differences
To locate the first difference between the Baseline data and the Actual data:
s
Click
View > First Difference
.
To navigate between differences, use the
View
commands.
The comparison starts in the upper left corner of the pane. The Comparator then scans
for differences by going across each row of text in order, as it would in a text editor.
When the comparator finds a difference using the
View
commands, the difference
between the Baseline file and the Actual file appears in reverse color.
The Alphanumeric verification point stores the specified verification method as part
of the test script command. For data files created by the Alphanumeric verification
point, the Comparator assumes a case-sensitive comparison, regardless of how it was
recorded. For numeric data, the Comparator assumes Numeric Equivalence as the
verification method.
