QTP Testing Process

Quick Test testing process consists of 7 main phases

1. Preparing to record
Test Environment Test Conditions

2. Recording a session on your application

Navigate according to Test Conditions

3. Enhancing your test

Adding logic and conditional statements Parameterization Inserting checkpoints

4. Debugging your test

Recording Modes
1. Normal recording
Records the objects in your application and the operations performed on them. This mode is the default and takes full advantage of Quick Tests test object model.

2. Analog Recording
Record the exact mouse and keyboard operations you perform in relation to either the screen or the application window.

3. Low-Level Recording
Record on any object in your application, whether or not Quick Test recognizes the specific object or the 4/21/2012 For more specific operation. QTP Scripts, visit

Enhancing Tests
1. Parameterizing Test

2. Regular Expressions
3. Creating Checkpoints 4. Creating Output Values 5. Dividing Tests into Multiple Actions

Parameterizing Tests
To run the scenario with multiple sets of data.

Steps for Parameterization

1. Defining a Data Table Parameter 2. Adding Parameter Values to a Data Table

3. Modifying Steps Affected by Parameterization

4. Running and Analyzing a Parameterized Test

Regular Expressions
Regular expressions enable Quick Test to identify Objects and text strings with varying values. User has to identify the data projected to be change, like dates, so to accepts any dates, user can use regular expression. Example : Actual Date format : 05/19/2004 (mm/dd/yyyy)

After Regular Expression:

[0-1][0-9]/[0-3][0-9]/200[0-9]

Creating Output Values

This is just reverse to the Parameterization, In this case QTP takes the data from the application and displays the same in the Data Table.

Transactions
A transaction represents the business process that you are interested in measuring
You can measure how long it takes to run a section of your test by defining transactions. User can Plan the Scenario as transaction and use the Start Transaction and End Transaction while Recording.

Actions
Actions help to divide Test Script into logical units

Usage :
1)We can design more modular and efficient tests. 2)Actions enable you to parameterize specific components of a test 3)Two or more tests can call the same action 4)Complex tests may have many actions and may share actions with other tests.

Example:
4/21/2012 For more QTP Scripts, visit www.ramupalanki.com

Actions
We can divide Test Script into multiple actions by creating new actions or by inserting existing actions.

Kinds of actions: Non-Reusable Action : An action that can be used only in the test in which it was created, and only once.
Reusable Action : An action that can be called multiple times by the test in which it was created (the local test) as well as by other tests. External Action : A reusable action created in another test. External actions are read-only in the calling test. They can be modified only in the test in which they were created.
4/21/2012 For more QTP Scripts, visit www.ramupalanki.com

Creating New Actions

We can add new actions to Test Script during a recording session or while designing Test Script.

Splitting Actions
We can split an existing action into two sibling actions or into parent-child nested actions. We cannot split an action and the option is disabled
when an external action is selected when the first line of the action is selected while recording a test while running a test when you are working with a read-only test

Inserting Existing Actions

We can insert an existing action by inserting a copy of the action into Test Script, or by inserting a call to the original action. Example:

Inserting Existing Actions

Copy of Action : It copied in its entirety, including checkpoints, parameterization, and the corresponding action tab in the Data Table.

Inserting Existing Actions

Calls to Actions: We can insert a call (link) to a reusable action that resides in your current test (local action), or in any other test (external action).
