Add a checkpoint

While performing manual testing, you can insert checkpoints as a way to add comments and screenshots of failures or other detected issues to the test report. You can also use checkpoints like bookmarks to make it easier in the report to jump from one section of the test to another.

For each checkpoint, you can specify whether the issue passed or failed the expectation. At the end of the session, if at least one checkpoint was added and logged as FAILED, Perfecto marks the test result as FAILED. You can change this configuration as needed. Perfecto also including a default failure description that you can edit.

Important: If all checkpoints are logged as PASSED, Perfecto by default discards the test results. In this case, make sure to change the setting to mark test results as PASSED.

Each checkpoint appears in the list of logical steps in the final test report.
