What is the difference between Image check point and Bitmap check point?

By using image check point we can check the properties of an image whether they are matching with the recorded properties or not.
These properties includes image file path, href links, owner of the image tec.. if these properties are not same as the original recorded version, then the script fails.
By inserting a standard check point we can insert this image check point on any image in the application. Image check points are normally supported by web based applications.

On other hand, Bitmap check points consider a specific selected area as a bitmap image after capturing that area as a bitmap image. This is normally used for a variable webpage. i.e for a webpage with a tendency of varying its page contents in terms of its displayed objects in terms of length , X Y coordinates etc. For example in a webpage the welcome note is 4 lines initially when you first recorded the webpage. But after few days while running the same script it will fail because the welcome note has been changed to 8 lines instead of 4 lines initially. By using bitmap check points we can capture this issues.
