To check the expected behavior of the application during a Citrix performance test, you can add verification points at strategic points in the test. You can use window verification points to check that a specific window opens during the test, regardless of its contents, or you can use image synchronization to verify the displayed contents. During the run, verification points produce a pass, fail, error, or inconclusive status in the Citrix Verification Point report. You can also measure response times between two test elements.
Verify application behavior
- Enable Citrix window verification points
You can use verification points on window titles to check whether a window with a specific caption is created during the test. Alternatively you can set a verification point on the synchronization criteria of the window to check whether the window position, size, and style match the expected criteria, regardless of the contents. You can enable window verification points for a specific test or generate them automatically by setting the test editor preferences.- Enable Citrix image synchronization verification points
You use verification points on image synchronization elements to check whether the contents of a screen area match either an expected bitmap or a text string. You can add image synchronization verification points to a recorded image synchronization element.- Specifying window verification point criteria
Window verification points produce a fail status in the test execution report if they differ from the specified expected criteria.- Measure response times
A response time measures the delay between a specified start event and a specified stop event. Typically, the start of the measurement is set to a mouse or keyboard input. Similarly, the stop is set to a window create, window activate, or window destroy event that is a response to the input event, or an image synchronization element that was recorded with the test.
