- 2. What is Software Testing? Software Testing is the process of verifying whether a software application or a software product meets the business and technical requirements . i-e verifying whether the developed software application works as expected . It will be done by comparing the Actual result against the Expected Result. Different types of Testing . (e.g Functional, Regression)
- 3. What is Test Automation? Executing Test cases automatically using tools such as QTP , Test Partner, Rational robot, etc to shorten the testing life cycle with respect to time.
- 4. Need for Test Automation To avoid human errors A way of storing domain/project/task Knowledge gained by the Test Engineers A proof for completion of testing. Accurate Reporting. Fast Test execution. Scheduled test execution.
- 5. What is QTP? QTP is a Functional and Regression Test Automation Tool. QTP is developed by Mercury and acquired by HP. Supports automation of various Software Applications and Websites. Record and Play + vb scripting Various Frameworks including custom framework Integration with HP Quality Center.

- 7. Quick Test Windows Subtitle
- 8. Object Repository Centralized place for storing Properties of objects available in AUT Stores only the TO properties Stores as Name & Value pair Depends on setting in Object Identification window .
- 9. Recording Modes Normal Analog -records and tracks every movement of the mouse Low level - records at the object level and records all run-time objects as Window or WinObject test objects
- 10. Run Modes Normal - displays execution marker Fast- won’t show the execution marker Update – will update the test object properties
- 11. Types of Object Repository Local Object Repository - QTP creates a Local Repository for every action automatically during Recording Shared Object Repository - User creates shared repository by adding objects. It can be shared among number of Actions/tests.
- 12. Test and Actions Action - A Set of Statements for performing a Task or Tasks. We divide our test into actions to streamline the process of testing Non-Reusable Actions Reusable Actions External Action
- 13. Operations on Actions • Creating Actions • Splitting Actions • Renaming Actions • Deleting Actions • Calling an Action • Copying an Action • Making an Action Reusable/Non Reusable
- 14. CheckPoints A checkpoint is a verification point that compares a current value for a specified property with the expected value for that property We can view the results of the checkpoint in the Test Results window
- 15. Types of CheckPoints Standard check point Text check point Text area check point Bit map check point Data base check point Accessibility check point XML Check point (from Application) XML Check point (from Resource) Page check point Image checkpoint Table checkpoint
- 16. Standard CheckPoints Standard Checkpoint checks the property value of an object in your application or Web page. The standard checkpoint checks a variety of objects such as buttons, radio buttons, combo boxes, lists, and so forth. For example, you can check that a radio button is activated after it is selected or you can check the value of an edit box.
- 17. CheckPoints (continued..) Image Checkpoint checks the value of an image in your application or Web page. For example, you can check that a selected image's source file is correct. Bitmap Checkpoint checks an area of your Web page or application as a bitmap Useful for testing zoom of map and for testing logo. Table Checkpoint checks information within a table.
- 18. CheckPoints (continued..) Text Checkpoint checks that a text string is displayed in the appropriate place on a Web page or application Accessibility Checkpoint identifies areas of your Web site that may not conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (e.g Alt for Img tag) Page Checkpoint checks the characteristics of a Web page. (e.g web page loading time, checking broken links) Database Checkpoint checks the contents of a database accessed by your application. XML Checkpoint checks the data content of XML documents in XML files or XML documents in Web pages and frames
- 19. Supported Check Points S —Supported NS —Not Supported NA —Not Applicable S S S S Database NA NA NA S Page S S S S XML (From Resource) NA NA NA S XML (Web Page/Frame) NS NS NS S Accessibility S S S S Bitmap NS NS NS S Text S S (VbListView) S (WinListView) S Table NS NS NS S Image S S S S Standard ActiveX VB Standard Windows Web Checkpoint Type
- 20. Data Tables Integrated Spread sheet (Excel), used for Data driven testing. Data driven Testing : Testing the same task with multiple sets of test data.
- 21. Data Tables Two types of sheets in Data Tables. Global Sheet- for entire test. i-e used for all actions in the test. Action Sheets- for specific action only. Data can be imported to the Data Tables from external files (Flat files, excel sheets, etc) and Data bases (MS access, Sql Server, oracle, etc.)
- 22. Data Tables Design time data table . Run time data table . - Available in result screen
- 23. Data Tables Two types of sheets. Global Sheet- for entire test. i-e used for all actions in the test. Action Sheets- for specific action only.
- 24. Parmeterization For Checkpoints In Object Repository In Action steps.
- 25. QTP Result Window CheckPoint Results Reporter.ReportEvent results. Filter results. Save results as HTML file.
- 26. OutPut Values It is stored in run time data table Types of Output values. Standard output value Text output value Text area output value Database output value XML output value
- 27. Recovery Scenario For handling unexpected pop-ups Use wizard for creating recovery scenario file. Add/Enable the required recovery scenario from the Tests.
- 28. QTP Testing process Planning Automation Framework Creating Scripts (Recording, adding objects) Enhancing the Scripts (Checkpoints, parameterization) Executing the scripts Analyzing the Results
- 29. Recovery Scenario For handling unexpected events such as random pop-up windows. Recovery Scenario Manager - Wizard for creating recovery scenario. -Define Trigger Event (e.g pop-up window, object state, Test run error, application crash) -Specify Recovery operations. (keyboard/mouse operations, close application process, function call, restart windows) -Choose post recovery test run operation. (Repeat current step, proceed to next step, proceed to next action iteration, proceed to next test iteration, restart current test run, stop test run)
- 30. Descriptive Programming -Adding object properties directly in the Test scripts instead of using Object Repository. Two Types - Static Programming (e.g dialog("text:=Login").Activate) Dynamic Programming e.g Set objLogin=description.Create objLogin("text").value="Login“ objLogin.Activate
- 31. Synchronization It is required to match execution speed of QTP with the loading/responding speed of application. Exist Waitproperty Adding synchronization point from menu
- 32. Regular expression Pattern matching Used in object repository, checkpoints, etc. Take care about backslash warning Most frequency used expression – (.* )
- 33. Environment Variables Global variables Different Types Built in variables User defined variables
- 34. Scripting Windows Script host (.wsh) Vbscript (.vbs) VB Script Variables Dim, Option Explicit VBScript has only one data type called a Variant Conditions, Loops
- 35. Automation Framework What is Framework? Record/playback model Data Driven Modular Framework Hybrid Framework->Keyword Driven
- 36. Automation Object Model What is AOM? Generate script button for exporting IDE settings. Scheduling script execution using AOM.
- 37. Automation processes Creating Automation framework Creating Tests Enhancing Tests (Checkpoints, synchronization, parameterization) Running Tests Analyzing Results. Reporting Defects.
- 38. Typical automation Framework. ObjectRepository -> To keep your shared object repositories. Datatables ->To keep QTP data tables and external Excel sheets. Config-> To keep environment variable xml file RecoveryScenario ->To keep your recovery scenario files. Tests-> You can keep your QTP Tests here. You may include Test containing Reusable Actions here. And a Test which is getting used as driver script can also be stored here. library ->you can keep your vbs file which contains vbscript functions. Results -> You can store Result files (Either QTP result file or customized result file) here
- 39. Tools Object spy Step Generator Function Generator Debugging
- 40. Tips Coding Standards. Best practices (. e.g Use Shared repository, open application after opening QTP, Use reference path, etc.) Using COM object for handling Browser, FSO (File system) and Excel. Click to know about training program Buy eBook about Software Testing And QTP Automation
