Analyzing the Results of a Database Checkpoint

A database checkpoint helps you to identify changes in the contents and structure of databases in your application. The results of a database checkpoint are displayed in the Database Checkpoint Results dialog box that you open from the Test Results window.

The dialog box displays the checked database and the types of checks performed. Each check is marked as either passed or failed, and the expected and actual results are shown. If one or more property checks on the database fail, the entire database checkpoint is marked as failed in the test log.

You can update the expected value of a checkpoint, when working in the WinRunner report view. For additional information, see Viewing the Results of a File Comparison. For a description of other options in this dialog box, see Options in the Database Checkpoint Results Dialog Box.

Note: When working in the WinRunner report view, you can edit the data in the Edit Check dialog box, which you open from the Database Checkpoint Results dialog box. To do so, highlight the Content check, and click the Edit Expected Value button . For information on working with the Edit Check dialog box, refer to the WinRunner User's Guide.
