      Preface

      Part 2 – You Must Learn VBScript for QTP/UFT is a reference book for automation engineers. Automation engineers will need to understand the basics of VBScript to benefit from the contents of this book. VBScript enables automation engineers to accomplish many tasks and each task assists QTP/UFT with testing any Application Under Test (AUT).

      Target Audience

      The target audience is automation engineers with a solid foundation of VBScript. Automation engineers who occupy an understanding of variables, data types, operators, arrays, flow control, functions, and how to create/destroy objects. It is recommended to read Part 1 – You Must Learn VBScript for QTP/UFT, if an individual needs to gain a foundation in VBScript.

      Purpose

      The purpose of this book is to provide automation engineers with a deeper knowledge of VBScript. VBScript is a lightweight programming language that possesses powerful features. Features such as objects and regular expressions help VBScript emulate programming languages like Visual Basic. Learning some of the powerful features of VBScript facilitates several tasks to be created with less lines of code.

      Chapter 1

      Introduction

      Overview

      There are many programming languages in the Information Technology (IT) industry. This multitude of languages makes a decision to learn a programming language overwhelming and difficult. However, QTP/UFT utilizes VBScript—a powerful scripting language. The first book (Free) Part 1—You Must Learn VBScript for QTP/UFT sets the groundwork for this book Part 2—You Must Learn VBScript for QTP/UFT.

      Part 1 explained Variables and Data Types, Operators, Arrays, Flow Control, Procedures – Functions, and how to Create and Destroy Objects. The final chapter Create and Destroy Objects is an introduction for Part 2 chapters regarding "Dictionary Objects, FileSystemObject (FSO), and Classes." 

      This chapter provides an overview rather than details on the following topics by focusing on VBScript’s general concepts:

      ✓  Dictionary Objects

      ✓  FileSystemObject (FSO)

      ✓  Classes

      ✓  Regular Expressions

      ✓  Debugging and Handling Errors

      ✓  Windows Script Host (WSH)

      ✓  Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)

      Dictionary Objects

      Dictionary objects are objects that store key/item pairs (see Dictionary Objects in Chapter 2.) The keys can be integers or strings while the items can be integers, strings, or arrays. Dictionary objects contains the following methods and properties:

      Figure 1.1 – Dictionary Objects Methods and Properties 

      FileSystemObject (FSO)

      FileSystemObject (FSO) accesses a computer’s file system via Drives, Folders, and Files (see FileSystemObject (FSO) in Chapter 3.) The Drive object provides information about drives connected to the system. All of the file properties are accessed by the File object. The Folder object provides a way to manipulate all of the folder properties. FileSystemObject (FSO) consists of FSO Objects, FSO Collections, Methods, and Properties.

      Classes

      Classes are templates for objects (see Classes in Chapter 4.) The following are covered in Classes:

      Class Properties – stores data in an object or returns data from the object

      Class Methods – operates like a procedure (Sub or Function)

      Class Events – consist of two events Class Initialize and Class Terminate.) Class Initialize calls a specific class when an object is instantiated while Class Terminate destroys the object

      Regular Expressions

      Regular expressions are used for locating and/or replacing patterns (see Regular Expressions in Chapter 5.) A pattern is a combination of numbers, characters, and/or special characters forming a string. The RegExp object is a built-in object which makes regular expressions available for automation engineers. There are three RegExp object properties and three methods:

      Figure 1.2 – RegExp Properties and Methods

      Debugging and Handling Errors

      Debugging is the process of locating and correcting errors, while error-handling is the anticipation, detection, and then resolution of errors in the code. (see Debugging and Handling Errors in Chapter 6.) There are three types of errors along with two elements for handling errors:

      Error Types

      Syntax – error that stop the execution of a program

      Runtime – occurs when a program executes an invalid action

      Logical – errors from an automation engineer’s programming code logic

      Error-Handling Elements

      Err Object –contains information about a runtime error

      On Error Statement – regulates the error control settings

      Windows Script Host (WSH)

      Windows Script Host (WSH) is a Windows administration tool (automation technology) which creates an environment for hosting scripts (see Windows Script Host (WSH) in Chapter 7.) There are two interfaces for executing the scripts: cscript.exe and wscript.exe. CScript executes on the command line, while WScript executes within the Windows environment. The following are elements of Windows Script Host (WSH):

      XML Elements

      Objects
