Answer 1

The problem is that QTP recognizes the word secs in your application as sees, which causes the checkpoint to fail. Most probably, this happens because the text recognition is performed using OCR, which can't guarantee 100% accuracy. You can try changing the text recognition mechanism to Windows API and see if that helps. To do this, go to Tools > Options > General > Text Recognition and set the Use text recognition mechanisms in this order option to either Use Only Windows API or First Windows API then OCR.

If this doesn't help, you can replace the word secs in the checkpoint's Checked Text with a regular expression that matches both secs and sees:

[0-9]+ days, [0-9]+ hours, [0-9]+ mins, [0-9]+ se[ce]s

Also, make sure that the Regular Expression option is turned on for the Checked Text.
