Need to set a checkpoint’s value within business component logic
| ♥ 0 |
I have a test that needs to verify that the application is properly displaying the current system date. The programmers developed this window such that the control takes on the name of the value (e.g. "Thursday, November 4, 2010"). I have logic in my business component that formats a variable with the expected string, but can’t see how to assign this to the value that the checkpoint uses. It looks like the options are constant, component parameter, local parameter, data table, environment, or random number. I tried using local parameter, setting the parameter’s name to "local_date_parameter" and then assigning local_date_parameter = strExpectedValue Can you please offer me some guidance on how to achieve my desired result? Thanks!

To set the local parameter you need to use the LocalParameter object. Here is the example I used in my QTP. LocalParameter(''p_parameter'') =''bLUEcOWE'' Below is the text from the QuickTest Professional Object Model reference. ---------- Description Note: You can also use the LocalParameter object as a variable in tests. For more information on local parameters, see the HP QuickTest Professional for Business Process Testing User Guide. Syntax Argument ParamName ---------- Does this answer your question?

Can you use the GetROProperty instead of the checkpoint. Your strExpectedValue, I'm assuming, it created by using current system date functions and putting it in the correct format. If you compare the two you have a little more control over what messages you might want to put in your component. Marked as spam
