Tutorials for testing in the UI Test perspective
You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the UI Test perspective in HCL OneTest™ UI.
Lesson 2: Creating a verification point
You can learn about creating a verification point for an action that you recorded on an application under test (AUT). Verification points verify that a certain action has taken place, or they verify the state of a control or an object during the play back of tests.

- Tutorials for testing in the UI Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the UI Test perspective in HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Lesson 1: Recording actions on an AUT
    You can learn about recording actions that you perform on a web application in the UI Test perspective.
  - Lesson 2: Creating a verification point
    You can learn about creating a verification point for an action that you recorded on an application under test (AUT). Verification points verify that a certain action has taken place, or they verify the state of a control or an object during the play back of tests.
  - Lesson 3: Running a test
    You can learn about running a test to verify whether a test scenario is played back successfully by HCL OneTest™ UI.
  - Lesson 4: Test log and reports
    You can learn about the test log and reports that are generated by HCL OneTest™ UI after a test run is complete. You can use the data in the log and reports to analyze the test results and confirm whether the test run was successful.
  - Lesson 5: Splitting actions in a test
    You can learn about splitting the actions of a test into test segments with different nodes. If a test contains many actions, you can split the test to create multiple nodes with meaningful test segments. You can then perform various actions such as inserting a loop, inserting a condition, and so on to the test segments of the selected nodes. You can also move a node from the existing test to a new test, and add the new test to a compound test that consists of various other tests that can be run sequentially.
  - Lesson 6: Creating a dataset
    You can learn about creating a dataset for a test so that you can fetch the variable dataset values at the run time. A dataset is a collection of related data records that you can use to substitute the data in the test.
  - Lesson 7: Associating a dataset with a test
    You can learn about associating a dataset with a recorded test to add actual data to the test during the playback. The associated dataset is accessed during the playback of the test and the actual data in the test is substituted with the variable data in the dataset.
  - Lesson 8: Creating a compound test
    You can learn about creating a compound test with multiple tests. Every individual test within the compound test performs a part of the main scenario. When you run the compound test, the individual tests are run in sequence.
  - Lesson 9: Adding a loop
    You can learn about adding a loop to a test so that the test runs repeatedly for a specified number of time, while fetching values from an associated dataset. You can either select a count-based, a time-based, or an infinite loop for the test. You can set the loop to infinite if you want the test to fetch the data from all the rows in a dataset.
- Tutorials for testing in the Functional Test perspective
  You can use the tutorials to get started with testing in the Functional Test perspective in HCL OneTest™ UI.
- Tutorials for testing in the Visual Studio IDE
  HCL OneTest™ UI tutorials contain educational materials to help you learn the technologies and concepts behind products.

Lesson 2: Creating a verification point

You can learn about creating a verification point for an action that you recorded on an application under test (AUT). Verification points verify that a certain action has taken place, or they verify the state of a control or an object during the play back of tests.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Generated a Web UI test. See Lesson 1: Recording actions on an AUT.
Read and been familiar with verification points. See Verification points.
Ensured that the Test Contents panel of the test editor window is displayed.

About this task

You can create a verification point for a recorded action in the SmartShot View tab of the test editor window and view the verification step in the test.

Procedure

Select the test step that corresponds to the first click action that you performed on the Log in link on the Wikipedia website.

The screen capture and properties for the click action are displayed in the SmartShot View tab.
Note: Verify whether the click action is highlighted in the screen capture that is displayed in the SmartShot subtab.
Right-click the row with Log in in the Properties panel of the SmartShot View tab.
Select Create verification point for ‘Content'.

A verification point is created for the selected click action and the verification step is added in the Test Contents panel with the icon.
Click File > Save to save the changes.

Results

In this lesson, you have learned to create a verification point for an action that you recorded on an AUT.

What to do next

You can learn about running a test to verify whether the test scenario was played back successfully by HCL OneTest™ UI. See Lesson 3: Running a test.
