Check Point and Output Value, What is the difference between check point and output value

What is the difference between check point and output value?

Check point is a verification point compares a current value for any particular property with the expected result value for the same property. On the Based of this comparison, it will creates the status either PASS or FAIL.

 Check points are basically used for validation purpose. Checkpoint compares the expected result of the Test object with the Actual result from the run time object and returns a pass or fail to the test result.

An output value is a value captured during the test run and can be saved in a particular position like the  Data table or even a variable. Unlike Check points, no PASS / FAIL status will be created.

Output values enable to view the values that the application takes during run time.When paramaterised, the values change for each iteration. Thus by creating output values, we can capture the values that the application takes for each run and output them to the data table.

Difference between check point and output value:

Open the test that includes the standard Checkpoints.
From expert view of the test we will watch only one line for example

Window("Flight Reservation apps").WinButton("FLIGHT Done").Check CheckPoint("FLIGHT Done")

Now You will do some editing in this line one so that it can return any record or value.

NOTE: Checkpoint always returns a record like a function, it will based on us whether we catch it or not.

Let us now capture it.
Assign the variable and capture the return value in same variable:

Dim return
return = Window("Flight Reservation Apps").WinButton("FLIGHT Done").Check CheckPoint("FLIGHT Done")

msgbox (return)

One more thing we required to do here is that we need to enclose Checkpoint ("FLIGHT") in braces. So that final version looks like follwoing:

Dim return
return = Window("Flight Reservation apps").WinButton("FLIGHT Done").Check (CheckPoint("FLIGHT Done"))

msgbox (return)

Now execute the test script and watch the msgbox displaying with the proper return value...
