20.3 Recording Checks

To verify the client's behavior, use check nodes, which query certain states and properties of elements within the SUT. Checks can also be recorded.

• ActionClick the "Record a check" button.
• Switch to the SUT window. When moving the mouse over the components you will notice a blue border indicating the current selection.
• Move the mouse over the value field of "Final price" and wait for the check border to appear.
• Right-click now on the value field. In the popup menu you are offered a choice of standard checks for a text field component.
• Select the first option "Text" for a check on the textual value of the field.
• Stop the recording by using the Stop button.

NoteEnsure the check border is shown for a component before clicking to record a check. Otherwise the check may not be recored properly.

Again, the newly recorded sequence appears in the "Extras" section.

• ActionRename the sequence to "Check final price"
• Expand it to see the check node.

• ActionFeel free to run this sequence, too, verifying it is working properly.

The next step is to create a test case from the two sequences.
