Architect enters the captured input data into the application. The Architect Status line changes from Green to Red when the application's responses do not match the expected Testcase data. Since no changes in data or logic occurred, discrepancies must be caused by the new internal system date. Users can pause at any point for a closer look or wait until the end of the replay to see the results all together. Architect immediately highlights the differences between the applications actual response and the responses that were saved in the Testcase.
Users can easily see any effects exactly as they appear in the application.
The user can immediately begin filtering out cosmetic effects. For example, most applications display the current date on many of their screens. These are display only, and usually have no direct effect on outputs. Significant discrepancies will be highlighted in output results. For example, the Testcase shows a commission amount in a particular screen.
