Bottom Part of the Database Checkpoint Properties

Checkpoint timeout

Insert > Checkpoint > Standard Checkpoint



Specifies the time interval (in seconds) during which QuickTest attempts to perform the checkpoint successfully. QuickTest continues to perform the checkpoint until the timeout occurs. If the checkpoint does not before the timeout occurs, the checkpoint fails.



For example, suppose it takes some time for data to load in a table. Increasing the checkpoint timeout value in this case can ensure that the data has sufficient time to load and therefore enables the checkpoint to before the end of the timeout period is reached.
You will see information about the checkpoint timeout, including the time interval used by QuickTest to perform the checkpoint, in the Test Results window.

Insert Window

Specifies when to perform the checkpoint in the test or component. Choose Before Current step if you want to check the table or database content before the highlighted step is performed.



Choose After Current step if you want to check the table or database content after the highlighted step is performed.
