The document provides an overview of key concepts in HP QuickTest Professional (QTP), including: - QTP allows recording, playback, and enhancement of test scripts. It supports features like checkpoints, output values, and parametrization. - Object repositories store object properties learned during recording for identification during playback. - Regular expressions, recovery scenarios, and exception handling help address dynamic objects and errors. - Functions, file handling, and frameworks can be used to structure tests and interact with external systems.

PREVIOUSLY MERCURY INTERACTIVE PRODUCT NOW TAKEN OVER BY HP
WHY QTP? MORE USER FRIENDLINESS MORE FEATURES – MORE CHECKPTS BEST FOR .NET AND OTHER WEB BASED APPLICATION KEYWORD DRIVEN TESTING SOLUTION
DIFFERENT PANES IN QTP TEST PANE – SCRIPTS ARE GENERATED ACTIVE SCREEN – SNAP SHOTS DATA TABLE – PARAMETRIZATION DEBUGGER – BREAKPOINTS, WATCHLIST, COMMANDS
WHAT TYPE OF TOOL IS QTP RECORD AND PLAYBACK TOOL IT HAS ADDITIONAL FEATURES LIKE SYNC PT, CHECK PT, OUTPUT VALUES IT HAS STEP GENERATOR – BUILT IN FUNCTIONS IT HAS FUNCTION DEFINITION GENERATOR – USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS
ADD-INS ADD-INS ARE SIMILAR TO HEADER FILES IN C LANGUAGE THEY ARE INCLUDED AT THE BEGINNING OF TESTING SESSIONS SO THAT CLASSES, FUNCTIONS OF PARTICULAR APPLICATION ARE LEARNT BY QTP FOR TESTING JAVA APPLICATION, JAVA ADDIN HAD TO BE INCLUED. ADDIN MANAGER ENABLES TO MANAGE THE ADDINS INCLUSION.
TYPES OF VIEWS IN TEST PANE TWO TYPES KEYWORD VIEW – ACTIONS ARE GENERATED IN TABULAR FORMAT SIMILAR TO MANUAL TEST CASES EXPERT VIEW – ACTIONS ARE GENERATED IN VB SCRIPTING
MODES OF RECORDING NORMAL MODE – RECORDING BASED ON PROPERTIES OF GUI ANALOG MODE – MOUSE MOVEMENTS, CLICKS, KEYBOARD STROKES LOW LEVEL – COMBINATION OF ABOVE TWO – MAINLY FOR RECORDING CUSTOM OBJECTS
OBJECT RECOGNITION MANDATORY PROPERTIES – QTP ALWAYS LEARNS FOR DIFFERENTIATING OBJECTS ASSITIVE PROPERTIES – OPTIONAL PROPERTIES LEARNT WHEN MANDATORY COULDN’T ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE
OBJECT RECOGNITION ORDINAL IDENTIFIER – THIS IS USED WHEN BOTH MANDATORY AND ASSITIVE COULDN’T HELP TO DIFFERENTIATE OBJECTS ORDINAL IDENTIFIER USES LOCATION INDICATOR AND INDEX INDICATOR TO DIFFERENTIATE OBJECTS
OBJECT IDENTIFICATION OBJECT IDENTIFICATION IS ANOTHER COMPONENT IN QTP SIMILAR TO GUI CONFIGURATION IN WINRUNNER THIS IS USED TO CONFIGURE THE MANDATORY AND ASSITIVE PROPERTIES DEPENDING ON APPLICATION TO BE TESTED.
OBJECT REPOSITORY OBJECT REPOSITORY IS SIMILAR TO GUI MAP FILE IN WINRUNNER STORES THE PROPERTIES AND VALUE OF THE OBJECTS LEARNT DURING RECORDING WHILE PLAYBACK OF SCRIPTS, QTP REFERS OBJECT REPOSITORY FOR IDENTIFYING THE OBJECTS
OBJECT REPOSITORY TWO TYPES – PER ACTION, SHARED REPOSITORY SHARED IS COMMONLY USED AS SAVES TIME LOAD”PATH OF REPORSITORY” IS FUNCTION USED TO LOAD REPOSITORY RELATED FILES DURING RUNTIME
WHAT ARE TYPES OF PROPERTIES? TEST OBJECT – PROPERTIES LEARNT BY QTP WHILE RECORDING THAT IS USED FOR MAPPING WITH ACTUAL OBJECTS RUNTIME – PROPERTIES OF ACTUAL OBJECT IN THE APPLICATION
OBJECT SPY OBJECT SPY IS A COMPONENT IN QTP THAT HELPS TO LIST THE TEST OBJECT AND RUNTIME PROPERTIES OF THE GUI LISTS THE METHODS AND SYNTAX THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED ON THAT PARTICULAR OBJECT LISTS THE HEIRARCHY OF THE OBJECT IN THE AUT
CHECK POINTS STANDARD CHECK POINT – STANDARD PROPERTIES OF GUI INCLUDES TABLES BITMAP CHECK POINT – VERIFIES IMAGES AND BITMAPS TEXT CHECKPT – WORKS ONLY IN CERTAIN APPLICATION, BEST TO USE STANDARD CHECK PT XML CHECK PT- USED TO VERIFY XML FILES DATABASE CHECK PT – CUSTOM AND DEFAULT CHECKS ON DATABASE
CHECK POINTS ACCESSIBILITY CHECK PT – USED TO VERIFY WHETHER THE PAGE IN THE WEBSITE IS BUILD AS PER W3 CONSORTIUM STANDARD OR NOT
SMART IDENTIFICATION MAINLY USED FOR VERIFYING DYNAMIC OBJECTS THIS CAPTURES BASE FILTER AND OPTIONAL FILTER PROPERTIES INORDER TO RECOGNIZE THE DYNAMIC OBJECTS CAN BE ENABLED THROUGH TOOLS > OBJECT IDENTIFICATION
OUTPUT VALUES OUTPUTS THE VALUE OF PROPERTIES OF GUI DURING RUNTIME CAN BE VIEWED IN RUNTIME DATATABLE IN RESULTS WINDOW MAINLY USED TO GET COLLECTION OF PROPERTY VALUE OF DYNAMIC OBJECTS
PARAMETRIZATION PARAMETRIZATION - PASSING MULTIPLE SET OF VALUES FOR TESTING
HOW CAN WE PARAMETRIZE? IDENTIFY THE FIXED VALUE THAT NEEDS TO BE PARAMETRIZED REPLACE WITH PARAMETER PASSING VALUE FROM DATA TABLE
WHAT IS DATA TABLE INBUILT XL SHEET IN QTP FOR PASSING VALUES TO PARAMETERS IN RUNTIME TWO SHEETS – GLOBAL AND ACTION GLOBAL – DATAS ARE PASSED TO ALL ACTIONS WITHIN THE SCRIPT ACTION – DATAS ARE PASSED TO ONLY PARTICULAR ACTION
WAYS TO PARAMETRIZE.. DATA TABLE PARAMETER – PASSING THROUGH DATA TABLE ACTION/COMPONENT PARAMETER – BY DECLARING INPUT AND OUTPUT PARAMETER IN ACTION PROPERTIES ENVIRONMENT PARAMETER – EXTERNAL HOST, URL, VUSER ETC… RANDOM PARAMETER – WITHIN NUMERIC RANGE
Synchronization Problem due to mismatch between tool time and application time is sorted using synchronization Wait(seconds) Exist – returns boolean value Waitproperty(property, value, timeout) Sync – waits until all objects are downloaded in a webpage
TYPES OF ACTIONS REUSABLE ACTION – THAT CAN BE CALLED TO ANY SCRIPT NON REUSABLE – THAT CAN BE CALLED TO ANY ACTION WITHIN THE SCRIPT AND ONLY ONCE EXTERNAL – REUSABLE ACTIONS BUT ARE READ ONLY
CALLING ACTION INSERT CALL TO EXISITING ACTION – CALLS A REUSABLE ACTION, BUT ANY CHANGES WILL BE REFLECTED ON ORIGINAL CALLED ACTION INSERT CALL TO COPY OF ACTION – CALLS A REUSABLE ACTION, BUT CHANGES ARE NOT REFLECTED ON ORIGINAL CALLED ACTION
TRANSACTIONS TRANSACTIONS ARE NOTHING BUT TIMER FOR MEASURING TIME TAKEN FOR EXECUTING PARTICULAR TASK SERVICES.START TRANSACTION “T1” SERVICES.END TRANSACTION “T1” CAN BE USED ANY NUMBER OF TIMES
DEBUGGING DEBUGGING – FINDING ERRORS IN THE SCRIPT BREAKPOINTS – POINT WE CREATE IN THE SCRIPT WHERE THE EXCUTION OF SCRIPT IS PAUSED WATCHLIST – MAINLY FOR BETTER DEBUGGING. USED TO VIEW THE VALUES OF THE PARAMETERS/VARIABLES DURING RUNTIME
HOW TO HANDLE CUSTOM OBJECTS??? SOLUTION IS VIRTUAL OBJECT WIZARD THIS HELPS TO MAP THE CUSTOM OBJECT WITH THE STANDARD GUIS. HENCE WHILE RECORDING QTP RECOGNIZES EVEN THESE NON STANDARD OBJECTS
HANDLE THE CHANGING WINDOWS/ OBJECT PROPERTIES?? THE SOLUTION IS “REGULAR EXPRESSION” REGULAR EXPRESSION IS AN EXPRESSION THAT MAKES QTP TO RECOGNIZE THE OBJECTS THAT HAVE VARYING PROPERTY DURING RUNTIME
REGULAR EXPRESSION – SYMBOL TO INDICATE IT IS AN REGULAR EXPRESSION . – PERIOD MATCHES ONE CHARACTER !WELCOME. CAN MATCH WELCOMES, WELCOMED * - MATCHES ANY NUMBER OF CHARACTER !W*-WHO, WE [] – TO INDICATE COLLECTION LIKE !W[E3] – WE, W3
REGULAR EXPRESSIONS - INDICATES RANGE LIKE [0-9] ^ INDICATES EXCLUSION LIKE [^A-Z] WILL NOT ACCEPT UPPER CASE ALPHABETS + indicates one or more occurrence of preceding character ca+r – car, caaar and not cr matches all characters except alphanumeric and underscore
WHAT ARE EXCEPTIONS??? EXCEPTIONS ARE NOTHING BUT UNEXPECTED ERRORS THAT CAUSES HINDERANCE DURING THE EXECUTION OF SCRIPTS COULD BE DUE TO POP UPS, OBJECT PROPERTY CHANGE, APPLICATION CRASH, TEST RUN
HOW TO HANDLE EXCEPTION??? SIMPLE USING RECOVERY SCENARIO MANAGER. RECOVERY SCENARIO MANAGER IS A WIZARD THAT GUIDES STEPS TO HANDLE EXCEPTIONS
RECOVERY SCENARIO MANAGER THREE STEPS TRIGGER EVENT – DEFINE THE EXCEPTION RECOVERY OPERATION – DEFINING THE HANDLER FUNCTION POST RECOVERY OPERATION.
FUNCTION? PROCEDURE??? FUNCTION CAN BE INBUILT OR USER DEFINED. IT IS ONE THAT RETURNS A VALUE PROCEDURE IS SIMILAR TO FUNCTION BUT DOESN’T RETURN VALUE
SOME IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS - SetTOProperty SETTOPROPERTY() PROPERTYNAME, VALUE DIALOG(“Login”).WinEdit(“Username”).SETTOPROPERTY(“Enabled”,”True”)
GETTOPROPERTY() GetTOProperty( propertyname) Returns the value of the property Example, A = Dialog(“Login”).Winbutton(“OK”).GetTOProperty(“Enabled”)
GETTOPROPERTIES( ) GetTOProperties() Lists all the properties and property values of particular object
GetROProperty() GetROProperty(Propertyname) Returns the runtime property of the particular object Dim a A = dialog(“login”).Winbutton(“OK”).GETROPROPERTY(“nativeclass”)
Can we connect database through QTP??? Answer is yes not through wizard but through scripting Set a = createobject(“ADODB.connection”) A.open”DSN = Employee.mdb, Username = xxx, Password = xxxx” Set b = createobject(“ADODB.RecordSet”) B.open”Select * from table1”,a Msgbox b.recordcount
File handling Using QTP it is possible to pass datas from various files and write data into file Example to read data from a file Set a = createobject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”) Set b = a.opentextfile(“path”,0/1/8,”true”) Str = b.readline 0 – write mode 1- read mode 8 – append True/false – file exist or create new
ChildObjects() This function is used to return the list of all objects within the window Example to count no of objects within dialog Set c = dialog(“Login”).childobjects() Msgbox c.count
POPUP() POPUP(“MSG”,WAIT TIME, “TITLE”,BUTTON) EXAMPLE SET A = POPUP(“HI”,10,”GREETING”,4) A WILL BE RETUNED VALUE 6(YES) AND 7(NO)
MAXIMIZE WINDOW MAXIMIZE IS KEYWORD FOR MAXIMIZING WINDOW/DIALOG FULLSCREEN IS THE KEYWORD FOR MAXIMIZING THE BROWSER
DATATYPE CONVERSION CINT() – CONVERTS VAR TO INTEGER CLNG() – CONVERTS CURRENCY TO INTEGER CCUR()- CONVERTS TO CURRENCY FORMAT
IS IT POSSIBLE TO OPEN APPLICATION THROUGH SCRIPTING??? YES!!! SYSTEMUTIL.RUN “PATH” FOR OPENING ANY APPLN INVOKE “PATH” FOR EXE APPLICATION EXECUTE “PATH”
USER DEFINED FUNCTION FUNCTIONS THAT ARE REPEATED FOR MANY TIMES EXAMPLE PUBLIC FUNCTION SUM(X, Y, Z) Z = X+Y END FUNCTION DIM A, B, C A = INPUTBOX (“ENTER A”) B = INPUTBOX(“ENTER B”) SUM (A,B,C) MSGBOX C
FRAMEWORKS FRAMEWORKS ARE SET OF DEFINED RULES FOR AUTOMATING A TESTING PROCESS IT COULD BE SAID AS AUTOMATION TEST APPROACH
FRAMEWORKS LINEAR FRAMEWORK – RECORDING, ENHANCEMENT , PLAYBACK HERE U CREATE SCENARIOS, DO RECORDING BASED ON SCENARIOS, ENHANCEMENT IS DONE FOR VERIFICATIONS, AND PLAYBACK FOR EXECUTION
FRAMEWORK DATA DRIVEN – HERE AN EXTERNAL DATABASE IS MAINTANINED FOR PASSING VALUES TO THE ACTIONS IN QTP VALUES ARE COMPLETELY PASSED ONLY THRO THIS DATA SETS
FRAMEWORK KEYWORD DRIVEN – USING THE MANULLY ENTERED TABLE THAT DEFINES TESTOBJECT, OPERATION, DATA AND DESCRIPTION, VB SCRIPTS ARE AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY QTP
FRAMEWORK DESCRIPTIVE PROGRAMMING – IT IS A CONCEPT OF EXECUTION OF SCRIPTS WITHOUT THE REFERENCE OF OBJECT REPOSITORY DIALOG(“CLASS = DIALOG”,”CAPTION = Login”).Winbutton(“class = Button”,”Text = OK”).Click
FRAMEWORKS FUNCTIONAL/MODULAR – HERE THE ACTIONS ARE DECLARED AS USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS THESE FUNCTIONS ARE CALLED WHEREVER NEEDED.
FRAMEWORK HYBRID FRAMEWORK – MIX OF ANY OF THE ABOVE FRAME WORKS ARE CLASSED AS HYBRID. DEPENDING ON COMPLEXITY OF THE APPLICATION, MIXES ARE CHOSEN.
