Exercise: Handling Negative and Positive Test Data In this exercise, you edit a script that validates positive and negative test data. The exercise consists of the following parts: Part 1: Analyze the requirements. Part 2: Code and debug a script.

Part 1: Analyze the Requirements An existing test VALIDATELOGIN performs the following test on the Flight32 application: • Imports a list of user names and passwords from an external Microsoft Excel worksheet. • Tests whether the application under test logins for the correct set of user names and passwords, and generates an appropriate error message for the incorrect set of user names and passwords. If you try to run the script, you see that an exception occurs.

Figure 10-11 Run Errors in Test Results The exceptions occur because some user names and passwords in the imported Microsoft Excel sheet are incorrect, for these the application does not login



Figure 10-12 Data Set with User Names and Passwords If the user name or the password is invalid, you need to update the script to ensure that the script: • Confirms that the proper error message is displayed and dismisses the exception. • Skips to the next user name and password combination. Which action or actions in the VALIDATELOGIN script do you need to update and why? _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Part 2: Code and Debug a Script

Exercise: Handling Exceptions Programmatically In this exercise, you update the script so that it handles run errors programmatically. The exercise consists of the following parts:

Part 1: Analyze the requirements. Part 2: Code and debug a script.

Part 1: Analyze the Requirements An existing script EXCEPTIONHANDLING performs the following test on the Mercury Tours application: • Imports a list of departure and arrival cities from a Microsoft Excel worksheet. • Tests that a flight can be purchased for each combination of cities. Note: For the purpose of this exercise, the EXCEPTIONHANDLING script uses just the first three departure cities and last three arrival cities instead of the complete lists of cities. This reduces the number of the combinations and the time needed to run the script. If you try to run the script, you see that an exception occurs.

Figure 10-14 Run Errors in Test Results The exceptions occur because some of the cities in the Microsoft Excel worksheet are retired airports,where the airlines no longer fly. The application does not offer the option to fly to or from these retired airports. This is the correct behavior expected of the application.



Figure 10-15 Data Set with Current and Retired Cities If either the departure or the arrival city is invalid, you need to update the script to ensure that the script: • Confirms that the retired city is not among the options offered in the application. • Skips to the next departure-arrival combination. 1. Which action or actions in the GOODDEANFROMEZRA script do you need to update and why? _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ 2. You need to handle the exceptions programmatically. Which exception handling approach do you use? _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________



Part 2: Code and Debug a Script

1. Open the EXCEPTIONHANDLING script located in the C:\TRAINING\ADVANCED QTP92\TESTS folder. 2. From the QuickTest Professional menu bar, select FILE > SAVE AS to save the test as MYEXCEPTIONHANDLING. 3. Update the script with code to achieve the given objectives. 4.
