Comparison Testing



What is Comparison Testing?

Comparison testing comprises of comparing the contents of files, databases, against actual results. They are capable of highlighting the differences between expected and actual results.

Comparison test tools often have functions that allow specified sections of the files be ignored or masked out. This enables the tester to mask out the date or time stamp on a screen or field as it is always different from the expected ones when a comparison is performed.
