Analyzing Verification Point Results with the Comparators

Use the Comparators to analyze differences between the baseline verification point
data (the data captured when you created the verification point) and the actual
verification point data (the data captured when you played back the verification
point). The Comparators help you determine whether a failure is a defect or an
intentional change to the application-under-test.

There are four Comparators, as follows:
