Assignment number eight.

Checkpoints allow user to compare the current behavior of the application being tested to its behavior
in an earlier version. If any mismatches are found, WinRunner captures them as actual results. User can
add four types of checkpoints to test scripts they are

GUI Checkpoints
Bitmap Checkpoints
Text checkpoints
Database checkpoints

All mouse operations, including those performed on the WinRunner window or WinRunner dialog boxes
are recorded during an analog recording session. Therefore, don’t insert checkpoints and
synchronization points, or select other WinRunner menu or toolbar options during an analog recording
session. Note that even if user chooses to record only on selected applications, user can still create
checkpoints and perform all other non-recording operations on all applications. Any checkpoints should
not be a component of X & Y Co-ordinate dependant. In practical terms if there is a Check point that is
defined on X, Y Parameters then the usability of the control point wouldn't make any sense for the
application to test. User cannot insert objects from different windows into a single checkpoint. Don’t use
Bitmap or GUI Checkpoints for dynamic verification. These checkpoints are purely for static verifications.
There are of course, work-around, but mostly not worth the effort.

GUI checkpoints verify information about GUI objects. For example, user can check that a button is
enabled or see which item is selected in a list. There are three types of GUI Check points they are
For Single Property
For Object/Window
For Multiple Objects

GUI checkpoint for single property:-user can check a single property of a GUI object. For example, user
can check whether a button is enabled or disabled or whether an item in a list is selected.
GUI checkpoint for object/window:-user can create a GUI checkpoint to check a single object in the
application being tested. User can either check the object with its default properties or user can specify
multiple properties to check.
GUI checkpoint for multiple objects:-user can create a GUI checkpoint to check multiple objects in the
application being tested. User can either check the object with its default properties or user can specify
multiple properties of multiple objects to check.
