Verification points

During the playback of tests, verification points verify that certain action has occurred or they verify the state of a control or an object. When you create a verification point for an action, a control, or an object in a recorded test, you capture information about the action, control, or object to build a baseline for comparison when the test is played back.

When you upgrade an application to a later version, you can use verification points to find out potential defects also. If the expected behavior of verification points do not occur during playback, then Rational® Functional Tester displays an error.
