QTP

Prepared ByAshish Kumar Srivastava

What is Automation-

 Test Automation is the use of software to control the execution of tests &
the comparison of results- actual with the predicted/expected.

 A software program that is used to test another software program, this is

referred to as Automated software testing.

 A third party tool is used to test the application.

 Use of automation tools reduces the test time as well as the cost.

Why Automation-

. Avoid the errors that human make when they get tired
after multiple repetitions.
. The test program wont skip any test by mistakes.
. Each feature test cycle will take less time & Required less
human intervention.
. Required for Easy cycle of Regression Testing.

Benefits of Test Automation-

. Allows more testing to be done

. Strengthen Test Cycle
. Testing is Consistent, repeatable
. Useful when new patches released
. Makes configuration testing easier
. Test battery can be continuously improved

False Benefits-

. Fewer tests will be needed

. It will be easier if it is automated
. Compensate for poor design
. No more Manual Testing

Object Repository-

Object Repository is nothing but a storage location. It contains the collection

logical name and physical description of a particular object.

Logical Name: For Naming Convention

Physical Description : is Nothing but expected physical properties
Two types of Object Repositories are available in QTP-

1) Per Action (.mtr)

2) Shared Object Repository (.tsr)

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 23

Open the Object Repository Dialog Box-

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 24

Object Spy-

Object spy is used to display or view all the physical properties and methods of an object or a
window based on the requirement.

Example: If window(“Login”). Exists Then

Msgbox(“Pass”)
else
Msgbox(“Fail”)
End If

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 25

Virtual Object-

Virtual Object is used to identify the properties of similar objects

in a particular Area.
Example: In normal recording if we select the paint brush
window, the script will look like this-
window(“Paint”).Activate
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Click 72,16
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Click 80,14
window(“Paint”).Close
If we are using Virtual object, the script will look like this-
window(“Paint”).Activate
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Virtual Button(“RED”)
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Virtual Button(“BLUE”)
window(“Paint”).Close

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 26

Check Points-

Check Point is a verification point that compares the current value of the
specified property with the expected value for that property.
There are 9 types of check points are available in QTP.
They are-
1) Standard Check Point
2) Text/ Text Area Check Point
3) Bitmap Check point
4) Database Check Point
5) Table Check Point
6) Page Check Point
7) XML Check Point
8) Image Check Point
9) Accessibility Check Point

Identifying a Failed Checkpoint-

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 31

Actions-

Action is nothing but a logical portion to entire script file

based on the requirement. Each and every action should
have meaningful result.
Types of Actions:
1) Regular (By default)
2) Reusable
3) External
How to work with Actions:
1) Call to copy of Action
2) Call to Existing Action

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 32

Data Driven Test-
Testing the same application with multiple sets of data.
How to use parameterization:
Ex:
Before parameterization
Dialog(“Login”).Activate
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“name”).Set ”Axis”
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Password).SetSecure”axisitt”
Dialog”Login”.Close
After Parameterization
Dialog(“Login”).Activate
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Login name”).Set DataTable(”name”, dtglobalsheet)
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Password). (”password”, dtglobalsheet)
Dialog”Login”.Close

Test Results Iterations-

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 36

Exception Handling-

It enables Quick test to detect and handle when unexpected

error occurred during execution time.

Types of Exception Handling:

1) Popup Exception Handling

2) Object State Exception Handling

3) Test Run Exception Handling

4) Application Crash

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 37

Object Identification-

By using object identification we can map “customer user

defined object” to “standard Class”.

Two types of properties are their in object Identification:

1) Mandatory Properties
2) Assistive properties

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 38

 Ordinal Identifier-
By using ordinal identifier options quick test able to identify an
object under ordinal identifier.

Three Components are available in ordinal identifier

1) Index
2) Location
3) Creation time

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 39

Smart Identification-

Quick test unable to identify the object, it is change randomly.

To identify such object we need to use Smart Identification.

Two properties are available in Smart identification

They are-
1) Base Filter Properties
2) Optional Filter Properties

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 40

Synchronization Point-

Synchronization point maintains the time coordination

between testing process and your application process.

There are 4 types of synchronization points:

1) Sync
2) Wait, wait(5) or wait 5
3) Wait Property
4) Exist

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 41

QTP Test Run Modes-

In QTP, we have 2 types of run modes-

1) Normal

2) Fast

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 42

Regular Expressions-

It enables quick test to identify test string with varying value

(varying means changing)

Regular Expressions can be used in the following areas:

1) Check Points

2) In parameterization

3) Data Driven test

4) Actions

5) Exception Handling….etc

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 43

Using a Regular Expression-

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 44

 Some Regular Expressions-

Expression Char Description

Period . Matches any single character
Asterisk * Matches zero to any number of occurrences of the
preceding character

Plus + Matches one to any number of occurrences of the

preceding character

Brackets [A-Z][a-z] Matches a range of characters

[0-9] Matches a range of numbers
\w Matches any alphanumeric character including
underscore

\W Matches any non-alphanumeric character

Digit \d Matches any digit

\d{4} Matches exactly four digits

Friday, February 18, 2011 Ashish Kumar Srivastava 45

Descriptive Programming-

Without using the object repository test engineer can develop

automation test in this particular accept, we need to use a
technique called as descriptive programming.

Script:

Dialog(“test:=Login”).Activate
Dialog(“text;=Login”).wineidt(“attached text:= Login name”). Set “Axisitt”
Dialog(“text:=Login”).wineidt(“attached text:= Password”). Set “88888” .
Dialog(“text:=Login”).Close

How to work with Environmental variables-

It is a special type of variable which is use to expose the

data related to environment.
Environment Variables

Built In user defined

Internal External
