Bitmap Options Section (Checkpoint Properties Dialog Box) - Bitmap Checkpoints

Relevant for: GUI tests and scripted GUI components

The Bitmap Options area of the Bitmap Checkpoint Properties dialog box enables you to set the area of the bitmap to check as well as recognition criteria for the bitmap images to check.

What does this area enable you to do?

You define the following:

The type of comparison that you want OpenText Functional Testing to perform when it runs a bitmap checkpoint step.
The bitmap that OpenText Functional Testing compares with or locates in your application during a run session.

The options available in this area depend on the checkpoint mode you selected.

What do the options mean?

Option	Description
Compare selection with runtime bitmap	Instructs OpenText Functional Testing to compare the bitmap that you define with the bitmap of the actual object in your application during the run session. Use the toolbar and editor to select areas to ignore or compare. Click Advanced settings to open the Advanced Settings Dialog Box (Bitmap Checkpoints Dialog Box) and set Tolerance settings to fine-tune the comparison.
Locate selection within runtime bitmap	Instructs OpenText Functional Testing to check whether the specified bitmap is found anywhere within the bitmap of the actual object in your application during the run session. In the bitmap editor area (in the Properties grid area of the dialog box), select the area that you want to locate. (By default, the whole bitmap is selected.) Click Advanced settings to open the Advanced Settings Dialog Box (Bitmap Checkpoints Dialog Box) and set Similarity settings to fine-tune the comparison.
Locate image within runtime bitmap (load image file)	Instructs OpenText Functional Testing to check whether the specified image is found anywhere within the bitmap of the actual object in your application during the run session. Click Select a bitmap file to load and browse to a .bmp file containing the image to use for the checkpoint. OpenText Functional Testing creates a copy of the selected file and stores it within the checkpoint. For keyword components, the copied file is saved with the checkpoint in OpenText Application Quality Management. Note: If the file you want to load is stored in a network folder, you must map the network folder on your computer before navigating to the file. Click Advanced settings to open the Advanced Settings Dialog Box (Bitmap Checkpoints Dialog Box) and set Similarity settings to fine-tune the comparison.
Crop to selection when saving	Crops the bitmap image to the defined area when saving the image during a checkpoint in a test run. Note: This option is applicable only when you select the Locate selection within runtime bitmap option.
