In this lesson, you will play back the test you just recorded to
see how easy it is to use a variety of data from a datapool to test the application.
Each time you play back a script with an associated datapool, the
script accesses one record in the datapool. When you create a datapool reference
for a verification point, the verification point uses the datapool reference
to access a variable in that record. During playback, Functional Tester substitutes
the variable in the datapool for the datapool reference and compares the variable
in the datapool to the actual results.
During playback you can view the
script name, the script line number that is executing, status icons, and a
description of the action in progress in the Playback Monitor.
