Learn Test Automation &

start using HP Quick Test Professional (QTP)

Automation – Need for automation, Rules of automation

Exposure to the Automation Concepts and Kick start the learning of one of the leading tool QTP

Speed : Automation Scripts run very fast when compared to human users

Reliable : Tests perform precisely the same operations each time they are run, there by eliminating human error.

Repeatable: We can test how the application reacts after repeated execution of the same operation

Comprehensive : We can build a suite of tests that covers every feature in our application

Reusable : We can reuse tests on different versions of an application, even if the user interface changes.

Product feature understanding, test planning, test case documentation, test bed setup, defect tracking, progression tests are all done in manual mode

Test automation success depends on robustness of the test cases not on the test tool.

Every manual step has commands in test scripts If it is not worth, DO NOT AUTOMATE. Do not build application logic in your test scripts Always have a common know base state for test cases One test script Action must address one test case.

Testing Tools are usually very expensive. The test manager or the test lead has to think twice before going in for automating his test effort. There are also some widely held false notions or beliefs about automation tools.

Architecture Of QTP

Object Spy Object Identification

Understanding customizing Non – Standard Objects Understanding Way of Recognition

Object Repository Simple Record and Replay Types of Record – Context Sensitive, Analog, Low Level

Record Managing Script with Various Data

Parameters (DataTable) VB Scripting (String Manipulation, Msgbox, Split

command, InStr, Loops, Conditions) Managing Script with Dynamic Objects

Regular Expression Smart Identification

Check Points – Standard, Bitmap, Text

Topics Being Explained Here

Object Spy

Object spy is used to display or view all the physical properties and methods of an object.

Used to Map non Standard Object to Standard Object

Used to configure Recognition properties for an object class.

Recognition properties are configured using Mandatory Properties Assistive properties (are used when mandatory

property fails to recognize the object uniquely) Ordinal Identifier (are used when both mandatory

and assistive fails to recognize the object uniquely) Location (Represent x- coordinate of the

screen or parent object Nearest to x is 0) Index (Works based on active screen – active

screen being 0 by default) Creation Time (For web browsers, no. of

instances decides the creation time)

Object Identification

Stores the object for the purpose of playing back

Uses Logical Name and Description properties to recognize the object from script and application respectively

Description Properties are created through Object Identification

Repository can be managed using Per Action mode (.mtr File) and Shared Repository Mode (.tsr File) by the script

Object Repository
