What is the Text Output & Its Use in QTP

A Text Output value enables to capture text appearing on the application under test during run-time. For example, suppose that you want to store the text of any error message that appears after a specific step in the Web application you are testing. you output the text in this window.

To create a text output value while recording:

1. Highlight or display the text string you want to use for an output value.
2. Select Insert > Output Value > Text Output Value. The pointer changes into a pointing hand.
3. In your application, click the text string for which you want to specify a text output value. The Text Output Value Properties dialog box opens.
4. QTP creates a column (using logical name) in Global DataTable to store output value.
