What is Checkpoints in QTP

Checkpoints Overview

QuickTest enables you to add checks to your test. A checkpoint is a verification that compares the current value for specified properties or current state of other characteristics of an object with the expected value or characteristics. This helps you to identify whether your application is functioning correctly.
When you add a checkpoint, QuickTest inserts a checkpoint step to the current row in the Keyword View and adds a Check CheckPoint statement in the Expert View. By default, QuickTest names the checkpoint using the name of the test object on which the checkpoint was created. You can choose to specify a different name for the checkpoint or accept the default name.
When you run the test, QuickTest compares the expected results of the checkpoint to the current results. If the results do not match, the checkpoint fails. You can view the results of the checkpoint in the Run Results Viewer.
