Drawbacks
VBScript as scripting language Runs on MS Windows only Do not support some browsers (Opera,
Safari) High licensing costs

QTP Test
QTP test is the collection of:– Actions– Associated libraries– Object repositories
Has it’s own settings (user-defined, iterations count etc.)
Can have input and output parameters
![Page 8: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Actions
Actions help divide your test into logical units, such as the main sections of a Web site, or specific activities that you perform in your application.
Actions is the scripts with associated object repositories Actions can be:
– Reusable– Non-reusable– External– Nested action
Actions can have in and put parameters
![Page 9: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Associated libraries
Associated libraries used to split code into external files
Written with VBS (but can use QTP’s objects such as Reporter, Object Repository)
Associated to test Can be debugged
![Page 10: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Add-ins
QTP uses add-ins to be able to work with test environment
There are several add-ins shipped with QTP: .Net, Java, Web, Web Services etc.
Some add-ins can be supplied by third-party company (Flash add-in for example)
![Page 11: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How QTP Recognize objects
It depends on Environment (Java, .NET or Web) For every object class, QTP has a default set of
properties that it always learns:1. Mandatory
2. Assistive
3. Ordinal identifier
Smart identification User can parameterize identification properties
![Page 12: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Object Repository
Storage for identification properties Objects organized into hierarchies Repository can be local or shared Object Repository Manager allows to edit
external repositories Highlight object User still need to define properties manually
![Page 13: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Object Spy
Use this tool to view object’s properties and methods
Allow to see native properties and methods
Quick check if environment can be recognized
![Page 14: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Alternatives to Object Spy
Firebug (Mozilla Firefox) for Web Developers Tools (IE, v>=8) for Web Spy++, WinSpy++, Winspector for Windows
applications A lot of others….

Descriptive programming
Define identification properties not in OR, but in code itself You may use it: for quick implementation or you don’t have rights to modify
OR or you if you want to iterate over collection of similar objects, etc… Descriptions can be:
– Dynamic– Static
Identification using OR is quicker! I prefer OR as it:
– Clear– Centralized– Allow you easy edit/compare/merge– Highlight object
![Page 16: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Active Screen
Provides a snapshot of your application as it appeared during a recording session
Enables you to parameterize object values and insert checkpoints, methods
![Page 17: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Data table
You can specify data for script in data table (for data-driven tests) Test will be iterated automatically over the data Functionality similar to Excel (with formulas, etc.) There are Global and per-action data table Script can create new data table Data can be imported/exported from Excel
![Page 18: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Debugger
Main possibilities of QTP Debugger:– Breakpoints– Step in/over/out – Watch variables– Execute code immediately– Pause script execution
![Page 19: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Standard method: Reporter object
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Custom Step", “Details" Report is very verbose (usually it make no sense to show them to business-
persons and steak-holders). There is Report Viewer. Often Framework has custom reporting
Reporting in QTP
![Page 20: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
QC integration
Create tests and save them in quality Center project View QuickTest test scripts Run your tests and view the results in Quality Center Associate external files for all tests or for a single test Report defects to a Quality Center project either
automatically as they occur, or manually directly from the QuickTest Run Results Viewer
![Page 21: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Record/Playback
QTP automatically adds objects to repository during record process Normal recording –works when environment is “open” to QTP
– Analog Recording This method enables you to record the exact mouse and keyboard operations you perform in relation to either the screen or the application window. In this recording mode, QuickTest records and tracks every movement of the mouse as you drag the mouse around a screen or window. It recorder into file.
– Low-level – clicks on coordinates Events to be recorder can be configured Playback has Fast and Normal modes
![Page 22: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Synchronization
Sync, sync, sync!!! Wait – is a bad practice, do not overuse it Object synchronization timeout setting of the script Sync method of browser Waits for the browser to complete the current
navigation. Browser Navigation Timeout - amount of time that QuickTest waits for
a Web page to load WaitProperty method Exist method
![Page 23: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Data sharing
Necessary part of every team Global Dictionary Environment variables Action’s input and input parameters Data table
![Page 24: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Checkpoints in QTP
Check objects against expected data There are several checkpoints:
– Standard– Image– Bitmap– Table– Accessibility– XML– DB
![Page 25: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Access to internal object
Powerful instrument when you need to get better control or need to do non-standard operation
You get access to object’s internal API Supported not for all environment (works for Java, .NET,
Internet Explorer, Firefox) Example: to set value in some custom JFormattedTextField
fields you may use such code:JavaWindow(“Test”).JavaEdit(“JFormattedTextField”).Set “some val”
JavaWindow(“Test”).JavaEdit(“JFormattedTextField”).Object.commitEdit()
![Page 26: HP Quick Test Professional](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061114/5462a983b1af9f7d228b4ffa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Recovery Scenarios
Recovery scenarios activate specific recovery operations when trigger events occur (when occurs unexpected events, errors, and application crashes during a run session )
A recovery scenario consists of the following: – Trigger Event. The event that interrupts your run session. For example, a window that
pops up on the screen, or a QuickTest run error.– Recovery Operations. The operations to perform to enable QuickTest to continue
running the test after the trigger event interrupts the run session. For example, clicking an OK button in a pop-up window, or restarting Microsoft Windows.
– Post-Recovery Test Run Option. The instructions on how QuickTest should proceed after the recovery operations have been performed, and from which point in the test QuickTest should continue, if at all. You may want to restart a test from the beginning, or skip a step entirely and continue with the next step in the test.
