An output value is a step in which one or more values are captured at a specific point in your test or component and stored for the duration of the run session. The values can later be used as input at a different point in the run session.
Output values are stored only for the duration of the run session. When the run session is repeated, the output values are reset.
You can insert an output value by using commands on the Insert menu or by clicking the arrow beside the Insert Checkpoint button on the Test toolbar. This displays a menu of options that are relevant to the selected step in the test tree.
Types of Output Values
1: Page Output Values:
You can create a page output value from a Web page property value. When you run the test,
QuickTest retrieves the current value of the property and stores it in the run-time Data Table as an
output value.
2: Text Output Values:
QuickTest allows you to create text output values by adding one of the following to your test:
3: Standard Output Values:
You can create a standard output value from an object property value. When you run the test, QuickTest
retrieves the current value of the property and enters it in the run-time Data Table as an output value.
4: Image Output Values:
You can create an image output value from the property value of a Web image. When you run the test,
QuickTest retrieves the current value of the property and enters it in the run-time Data Table as an output
value.
5: XML Output Values:
You can create an XML output value from an element value or attribute of an XML file or Web page/frame.
When you run the test, QuickTest retrieves the current value of the element or attribute and enters it in the
run-time Data Table as an output value.
When you run your test, you can view summary results of the XML output value in the Test Results window.
You can also view detailed results by opening the XML Output Value Results window.
6: Table Output Values:
You can create a table output value from the contents of a table cell. When you run the test, QuickTest
retrieves the current value of a table cell and enters it in the run-time Data Table as an output value.
7: Database Output Values:
You can create a database output value from the contents of a database cell. When you run the test,
QuickTest retrieves the current value of a database cell and enters it in the run-time Data Table as an output
value.
Output values are stored only for the duration of the run session. When the run session is repeated, the output values are reset.
You can insert an output value by using commands on the Insert menu or by clicking the arrow beside the Insert Checkpoint button on the Test toolbar. This displays a menu of options that are relevant to the selected step in the test tree.

QuickTest retrieves the current value of the property and stores it in the run-time Data Table as an
output value.
2: Text Output Values:
QuickTest allows you to create text output values by adding one of the following to your test:
Text Output Value—enables you to output the text displayed in a screen or Web page, according to
specified criteria. It is supported for all environments.
Standard Output Value—enables you to output an object’s text property. This is the preferred way of
outputting the text displayed in many Windows applications.
Text Area Output Value—enables you to output the text string displayed within a defined area of a
Windows-application screen, according to specified criteria. It is supported for Standard
Windows, Visual Basic, and ActiveX environments.
3: Standard Output Values:
You can create a standard output value from an object property value. When you run the test, QuickTest
retrieves the current value of the property and enters it in the run-time Data Table as an output value.
4: Image Output Values:
You can create an image output value from the property value of a Web image. When you run the test,
QuickTest retrieves the current value of the property and enters it in the run-time Data Table as an output
value.

retrieves the current value of a table cell and enters it in the run-time Data Table as an output value.
7: Database Output Values:
You can create a database output value from the contents of a database cell. When you run the test,
QuickTest retrieves the current value of a database cell and enters it in the run-time Data Table as an output
value.
