Creating and Using Verification point in Rational Performance Tester

Answer

When a test containing a verification point runs, an error is reported if an expected behavior did not occur. Three types of verification point (VP) are supported

1. Page Title VPs: report an error if no page title, or a title different from what you expected, was returned.
2. Response Code VPs: report an error if a response code different from what you expected was returned.
3. Response Size VPs: report an error if the size of a response is different from what you expected.

To add a verification point:

1. Open the test.
2. In the test editor, click the test name, a test page, or a page request. Your choice determines the scope: whether the verification point you select is added to all test pages, to a particular page in the test, or to a particular request in a page.
3. Right-click and select one of the following:
   

Option	Description
Enable Page Title VPs	To inspect or set your expectation: Page Title VPs cannot be added to requests so this selection is not presented when a request is selected.
Enable Response Code VPs	To inspect or set your expectation.
Enable Response Size VPs	To inspect or set your expectation.

4. So that you can easily disable verification points in a test, enabling verification points toggles the selections to Disable Page Title VPs, Disable Response Code VPs, or Disable Response Size VPs.
