QTP Questions&Answers

1. How Does Run time data (Parameterization) is handled in QTP?
A) You can
then enter test data into the Data Table, an integrated spreadsheet with the full
functionality of Excel, to manipulate data sets and create multiple test iterations,
without programming, to expand test case coverage. Data can be typed in or
imported from databases, spreadsheets, or text files.
2) What is keyword view and Expert view in QTP?A) QuickTest’s Keyword

Driven approach, test automation experts have full access to the underlying test and
object propertyes, via an integrated scripting and debugging environment that is
round-trip synchronized with the Keyword View.Advanced testers can view and edit
their tests in the Expert View, which reveals the underlying industry-standard
VBScript that QuickTest Professional automatically generates. Any changes made in
the Expert View are automatically synchronized with the Keyword View.
3) Explain about the Test Fusion Report of QTP ?A) Once a tester has run a
test, a TestFusion report displays all aspects of the test run: a high-level results
overview, an expandable Tree View of the test specifying exactly where application
failures occurred, the test data used, application screen shots for every step that
highlight any discrepancies, and detailed explanations of each checkpoint pass and
failure. By combining TestFusion reports with QuickTest Professional, you can share
reports across an entire QA and development team.
4) To which environments does QTP supports ?A) QuickTest Professional

supports functional testing of all enterprise environments, including Windows,
Web, ..NET, Java/J2EE, SAP, Siebel, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Visual Basic, ActiveX,
mainframe terminal emulators, and Web services.
5) What is QTP ?A) QuickTest is a graphical interface record-playback automation

tool. It is able to work with any web, java or windows client application. Quick Test
enables you to test standard web objects and ActiveX controls. In addition to these
environments, QuickTest Professional also enables you to test Java applets and
applications and multimedia objects on Applications as well as standard Windows
applications, Visual Basic 6 applications and .NET framework applications…
6) Explain QTP Testing process ?A) The QuickTest testing process consists of 6
main phases:
1. Create your test plan
Prior to automating there should be a detailed description of the test including the
exact steps to follow, data to be input, and all items to be verified by the test. The
verification information should include both data validations and existence or state
verifications of objects in the application.
1. Recording a session on your application
As you navigate through your application, QuickTest graphically displays each step
you perform in the form of a collapsible icon-based test tree. A step is any user
action that causes or makes a change in your site, such as clicking a link or image,
or entering data in a form.
1. Enhancing your test
o Inserting checkpoints into your test lets you search for a specific value
of a page, object or text string, which helps you identify whether or
not your application is functioning correctly.
NOTE: Checkpoints can be added to a test as you record it or after the fact via the
Active Screen. It is much easier and faster to add the checkpoints during the
recording process.
1.
o Broadening the scope of your test by replacing fixed values with
parameters lets you check how your application performs the same
operations with multiple sets of data.
o Adding logic and conditional statements to your test enables you to
add sophisticated checks to your test.
1. Debugging your test
If changes were made to the script, you need to debug it to check that it operates
smoothly and without interruption.
1. Running your test on a new version of your application
You run a test to check the behavior of your application. While running, QuickTest
connects to your application and performs each step in your test.
1. Analyzing the test results
You examine the test results to pinpoint defects in your application.
1. Reporting defects
As you encounter failures in the application when analyzing test results, you will
create defect reports in Defect Reporting Tool.
How QTP recognizes Objects in AUT? A) QuickTest stores the definitions for
application objects in a file called the Object Repository. As you record your test,
QuickTest will add an entry for each item you interact with. Each Object Repository
entry will be identified by a logical name (determined automatically by QuickTest),
and will contain a set of properties (type, name, etc) that uniquely identify each
object. Each line in the QuickTest script will contain a reference to the object that
you interacted with, a call to the appropriate method (set, click, check) and any
parameters for that method (such as the value for a call to the set method). The
references to objects in the script will all be identified by the logical name, rather
than any physical, descriptive properties.
9) What are the types of Object Repositorys in QTP? A) QuickTest has two
types of object repositories for storing object information: shared object repositories
and action object repositories. You can choose which type of object repository you
want to use as the default type for new tests, and you can change the default as
necessary for each new test. The object repository per-action mode is the default
setting. In this mode, QuickTest automatically creates an object repository file for
each action in your test so that you can create and run tests without creating,
choosing, or modifying object repository files. However, if you do modify values in an
action object repository, your changes do not have any effect on other actions.
Therefore, if the same test object exists in more than one action and you modify an
object’s property values in one action, you may need to make the same change in
every action (and any test) containing the object.
10) Explain the check points in QTP?A) . A checkpoint verifies that expected
information is displayed in a Application while the test is running. You can add eight
types of checkpoints to your test for standard web objects using QTP.
• A page checkpoint checks the characteristics of a Application

• A text checkpoint checks that a text string is displayed in the appropriate
place on a Application.
• An object checkpoint (Standard) checks the values of an object on a
Application.
• An image checkpoint checks the values of an image on a Application.
• A table checkpoint checks information within a table on a Application
• An Accessiblity checkpoint checks the web page for Section 508 compliance.
• An XML checkpoint checks the contents of individual XML data files or XML
documents that are part of your Web application.
• A database checkpoint checks the contents of databases accessed by your
web site
11) In how many ways we can add check points to an application using
QTP.A) We can add checkpoints while recording the application or we can add after
recording is completed using Active screen (Note : To perform the second one The
Active screen must be enabled while recording).
12) How does QTP identifes the object in the applicationA) QTP identifies the
object in the application by LogicalName and Class. For example : The Edit box is
identified by Logical Name : PSOPTIONS_BSE_TIME20Class: WebEdit
13) If an application name is changes frequently i.e while recording it has

name “Window1” and then while running its “Windows2” in this case how
does QTP handles?A) QTP handles those situations using “Regular Expressions”.
14) What is Parameterizing Tests?A) When you test your application, you may
want to check how it performs the same operations with multiple sets of data. For
example, suppose you want to check how your application responds to ten separate
sets of data. You could record ten separate tests, each with its own set of data.
Alternatively, you can create a parameterized test that runs ten times: each time the
test runs, it uses a different set of data.
15) What is test object model in QTP ? A) The test object model is a large set of
object types or classes that QuickTest uses to represent the objects in your
application. Each test object class has a list of properties that can uniquely identify
objects of that class and a set ofrelevant methods that QuickTest can record for it.A
test object is an object that QuickTest creates in the test or component to represent
the actual object in your application. QuickTest stores information about the object
that will help it identify and check the object during the run session.A run-time
object is the actual object in your Web site or application onwhich methods are
performed during the run session.When you perform an operation on your
application while recording,QuickTest:➤ identifies the QuickTest test object class that
represents the object on whichyou performed the operation and creates the
appropriate test object➤ reads the current value of the object’s properties in your
application andstores the list of properties and values with the test object➤ chooses
a unique name for the object, generally using the value of one of itsprominent
properties➤ records the operation that you performed on the object using the
appropriate QuickTest test object methodFor example, suppose you click on a Find
button with the following HTMLsource code:<INPUT TYPE=”submit” NAME=”Find”
VALUE=”Find”>QuickTest identifies the object that you clicked as a WebButton test
object.It creates a WebButton object with the name Find, and records the
followingproperties and values for the Find WebButton:It also records that you
performed a Click method on the WebButton.QuickTest displays your step in the
Keyword View like this:QuickTest displays your step in the Expert View like
this:Browser(”Mercury Interactive”).Page(”Mercury
Interactive”).WebButton(”Find”).Click
16) What is Object Spy in QTP?A) Using the Object Spy, you can view the
properties of any object in an openapplication. You use the Object Spy pointer to
point to an object. The ObjectSpy displays the selected object’s hierarchy tree and
its properties and valuesin the Properties tab of the Object Spy dialog box.
17. Supported Check-Points in QTP?17) What is the Diff between Image

check-point and Bit map Check point?A) Image checkpoints enable you to check
the properties of a Web image. You can check an area of a Web page or application
as a bitmap. While creating a test or component, you specify the area you want to
check by selecting an object. You can check an entire object or any area within an
object. QuickTest captures the specified object as a bitmap, and inserts a checkpoint
in the test or component. You can also choose to save only the selected area of the
object with your test or component in order to save disk Space For example, suppose
you have a Web site that can display a map of a city the user specifies. The map has
control keys for zooming. You can record the new map that is displayed after one
click on the control key that zooms inthe map. Using the bitmap checkpoint, you can
check that the map zooms in correctly.You can create bitmap checkpoints for all
supported testing environments(as long as the appropriate add-ins are
loaded).Note: The results of bitmap checkpoints may be affected by factors such
asoperating system, screen resolution, and color settings.
1 How many ways we can parameterize data in QTP ?A) There are four
types of parameters:Test, action or component parameters enable you to use values
passedfrom your test or component, or values from other actions in your test. Data
Table parameters enable you to create a data-driven test (or action)that runs several
times using the data you supply. In each repetition, oriteration, QuickTest uses a
different value from the Data Table. Environment variable parameters enable you to
use variable values fromother sources during the run session. These may be values
you supply, orvalues that QuickTest generates for you based on conditions and
optionsyou choose. Random number parameters enable you to insert random
numbers asvalues in your test or component. For example, to check how
yourapplication handles small and large ticket orders, you can have
QuickTestgenerate a random number and insert it in a number of tickets edit field.
20. How do u do batch testing in WR & is it possible to do in QTP, if so

explain? Ans: Batch Testing in WR is nothing but running the whole test set by
selecting “Run Testset” from the “Execution Grid”.The same is possible with QTP
also. If our test cases are automated then by selecting “Run Testset” all the test
scripts can be executed. In this process the Scripts get executed one by one by
keeping all the remaining scripts in “Waiting” mode.
21. if i give some thousand tests to execute in 2 days what do u do?

Ans : Adhoc testing is done. It Covers the least basic functionalities to verify that
the system is working fine.
22. what does it mean when a check point is in red color? what do u do?
Ans : A red color indicates failure. Here we analyze the the cause for failure whether
it is a Script Issue or Envronment Issue or a Application issue.
23. what do you call the window testdirector-testlab? Ans : “Execution

Grid”. It is place from where we Run all Manual / Automated Scripts
24. how do u create new test sets in TD Ans : Login to TD. Click on
“Test Lab” tab. Select the Desired folder under which we need to Create the
Test Set. ( Test Sets can be grouped as per module.) Click on “New Test Set or
Ctrl+N” Icon to create a Test Set.
25. How do u do batch testing in WR & is it possible to do in QTP, if so

explain? Ans : You can use Test Batch Runner to run several tests in
succession. The results for each test are stored in their default location. Using Test
Batch Runner, you can set up a list of tests and save the list as an .mtb file, so that
you can easily run the same batch of tests again, at another time. You can also
choose to include or exclude a test in your batch list from running during a batch
run
26. if i give some thousand tests to execute in 2 days what do u do?

Ans : Adhoc testing is done. It Covers the least basic functionalities to verify that
the system is working fine.

“Test Lab” tab. Select the Desired folder under which we need to Create the
Test Set. ( Test Sets can be grouped as per module.) Click on “New Test Set or
Ctrl+N” Icon to create a Test Set.
30. How to Import data from a “.xls” file to Data table during
Runtime. Ans : Datatable.Import “…XLS file name…”
DataTable.ImportSheet(FileName, SheetSource, SheetDest)
DataTable.ImportSheet “C:\name.xls” ,1 ,”name”
31. How to export data present in Datatable to an “.xls” file? Ans :

DataTable.Export “….xls file name…”
32. How to get Traceability matrix from TD? 33. How to import a test case
present in “.xls” file to TD under a Test set?
34. How to attach a file to TD? 35. What do you to script when objects are
removed from application? 36. Syntact for how to call one script from
another? and Syntax to call one “Action” in another? Ans: RunAction
ActionName, [IterationMode , IterationRange , Parameters] Here the actions
becomes reusable on making this call to any Action. IterationRange String Not
always required. Indicates the rows for which action iterations will be performed.
Valid only when the IterationMode is rngIterations. Enter the row range (i.e. “1-7″),
or enter rngAll to run iterations on all rows. If the action called by the RunAction
statement includes an ExitAction statement, the RunAction statement can return the
value of the ExitAction’s RetVal argument.
37. How to export QTP results to an “.xls” file? Ans : (a) By default it
creates an “XML” file and displays the results
38. 3 differences between QTP & Winrunner? Ans : (a) QTP is object
bases Scripting ( VBS) where Winrunner is TSL (C based) Scripting. (b) QTP
supports “.NET” application Automation not available in Winrunner (c) QTP
has “Active Screen” support which captures the application, not available in
WR. (d) QTP has “Data Table” to store script values , variables which WR
does not have. (e) Using a “point and click” capability you can easily
interface with objects, their definitions and create checkpoints after having recorded
a script – without having to navigate back to that location in your application like you
have to with WinRunner. This greatly speeds up script development.
39. How to create a Runtime property for an object?
40. how to add a runtime parameter to a datasheet? Ans:

DataTable.LocalSheet The following example uses the LocalSheet
property to return the local sheet of the run-time Data Table in order to add a
parameter (column) to it.
MyParam=DataTable.LocalSheet.AddParameter(”Time”, “5:45″)
41. What scripting language is QTP of? Ans : Vbs
42. Analyzing the Checpoint results Standard Checpoint :By adding standard
checkpoints to your tests or components, you can compare the expected values of
object properties to the object’s current values during a run session. If the results
do not match, the checkpoint fails.
43.Table and DB Checkpoints: By adding table checkpoints to your tests or
components, you can check that a specified value is displayed in a cell in a table on
your application. By adding database checkpoints to your tests or components, you
can check the contents of databases accessed by your application. The
results displayed for table and database checkpoints are similar. When you run your
test or component, QuickTest compares the expected results of the checkpoint to the
actual results of the run session. If the results do not match, the checkpoint fails.
You can check that a specified value is displayed in a cell in a table by adding
a table checkpoint to your test or component. For ActiveX tables, you can also check
the properties of the table object. To add a table checkpoint, you use the Checkpoint
Properties dialog box. Table checkpoints are supported for Web and ActiveX
applications, as well as for a variety of external add-in environments. You can
use database checkpoints in your test or component to check databases accessed by
your Web site or application and to detect defects. You define a query on your
database, and then you create a database checkpoint that checks the results of the
query. Database checkpoints are supported for all environments supported
by QuickTest, by default, as well as for a variety of external add-in environments.
There are two ways to define a database query: (a) Use Microsoft
Query. You can install Microsoft Query from the custom installation of Microsoft
Office. (b) Manually define an SQL statement. The Checkpoint timeout
option is available only when creating a table checkpoint. It is not available
when creating a database checkpoint
44.Checking Bitmaps: You can check an area of a Web page or application

as a bitmap. While creating a test or component, you specify the area you want to
check by selecting an object. You can check an entire object or any area within an
object. QuickTest captures the specified object as a bitmap, and inserts a checkpoint
in the test or component. You can also choose to save only the selected area of the
object with your test or component in order to save disk space. When you
run the test or component, QuickTest compares the object or selected area of the
object currently displayed on the Web page or application with the bitmap stored
when the test or component was recorded. If there are differences, QuickTest
captures a bitmap of the actual object and displays it with the expected bitmap in
the details portion of the Test Results window. By comparing the two bitmaps
(expected and actual), you can identify the nature of the discrepancy. For more
information on test results of a checkpoint, see Viewing Checkpoint Results.
For example, suppose you have a Web site that can display a map of a city the user
specifies. The map has control keys for zooming. You can record the new map that is
displayed after one click on the control key that zooms in the map. Using the bitmap
checkpoint, you can check that the map zooms in correctly. You can create
bitmap checkpoints for all supported testing environments (as long as the
appropriate add-ins are loaded). Note: The results of bitmap checkpoints may
be affected by factors such as operating system, screen resolution, and color
settings.
45.Text/Text Area Checkpoint : In the Text/Text Area Checkpoint

Properties dialog box, you can specify the text to be checked as well as which text is
displayed before and after the checked text. These configuration options are
particularly helpful when the text string you want to check appears several times or
when it could change in a predictable way during run sessions. Note: In
Windows-based environments, if there is more than one line of text selected, the
Checkpoint Summary pane displays [complex value] instead of the selected text
string. You can then click Configure to view and manipulate the actual selected text
for the checkpoint. QuickTest automatically displays the Checked Text in red
and the text before and after the Checked Text in blue. For text area checkpoints,
only the text string captured from the defined area is displayed (Text Before and
Text After are not displayed). To designate parts of the captured string as
Checked Text and other parts as Text Before and Text After, click the Configure
button. The Configure Text Selection dialog box opens Checking XML : XML
(Extensible Markup Language) is a meta-markup language for text documents that is
endorsed as a standard by the W3C. XML makes the complex data structures
portable between different computer environments/operating systems and
programming languages, facilitating the sharing of data. XML files contain
text with simple tags that describe the data within an XML document. These tags
describe the data content, but not the presentation of the data. Applications that
display an XML document or file use either Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) or XSL
Formatting Objects (XSL-FO) to present the data. You can verify the
data content of XML files by inserting XML checkpoints. A few common uses of XML
checkpoints are described below: An XML file can be a static data file that is
accessed in order to retrieve commonly used data for which a quick response time is
needed—for example, country names, zip codes, or area codes. Although this data
can change over time, it is normally quite static. You can use an XML file checkpoint
to validate that the data has not changed from one application release to
another. An XML file can consist of elements with attributes and values
(character data). There is a parent and child relationship between the elements, and
elements can have attributes associated with them. If any part of this structure
(including data) changes, your application’s ability to process the XML file may be
affected. Using an XML checkpoint, you can check the content of an element to make
sure that its tags, attributes, and values have not changed. XML files are often
an intermediary that retrieves dynamically changing data from one system. The data
is then accessed by another system using Document Type Definitions (DTD),
enabling the accessing system to read and display the information in the file. You
can use an XML checkpoint and parameterize the captured data values in order to
check an XML document or file whose data changes in a predictable way. XML
documents and files often need a well-defined structure in order to be portable
across platforms and development systems. One way to accomplish this is by
developing an XML schema, which describes the structure of the XML elements and
data types. You can use schema validation to check that each item of content in an
XML file adheres to the schema description of the element in which the content is to
be placed.
46 . Object Repositories types, Which & when to use? Deciding Which

Object Repository Mode to Choose To choose the default object repository
mode and the appropriate object repository mode for each test, you need to
understand the differences between the two modes. In general, the object
repository per-action mode is easiest to use when you are creating simple record and
run tests, especially under the following conditions: You have only one, or
very few, tests that correspond to a given application, interface, or set of
objects. You do not expect to frequently modify test object properties.
You generally create single-action tests. Conversely, the shared object
repository mode is generally the preferred mode when: You have several
tests that test elements of the same application, interface, or set of objects.
You expect the object properties in your application to change from time to time
and/or you regularly need to update or modify test object properties. You
often work with multi-action tests and regularly use the Insert Copy of Action and
Insert Call to Action options.
47. Can we Script any test case with out having Object repository? or Using
Object Repository is a must? Ans: No. U can script with out Object
repository by knowing the Window Handlers, spying and recognizing the
objects logical names and properties available.
48. How to execute a WinRunner Script in QTP? Ans : (a)

TSLTest.RunTest TestPath, TestSet [, Parameters ] –> Used in QTP 6.0 used for
backward compatibility Parameters : The test set within Quality Center,
in which test runs are stored. Note that this argument is relevant only when working
with a test in a Quality Center project. When the test is not saved in Quality Center,
this parameter is ignored. e.g : TSLTest.RunTest “D:\test1″, “” (b)
TSLTest.RunTestEx TestPath, RunMinimized, CloseApp [, Parameters ]
TSLTest.RunTestEx “C:\WinRunner\Tests\basic_flight”, TRUE, FALSE, “MyValue”
CloseApp : Indicates whether to close the WinRunner application when the
WinRunner test run ends. Parameters : Up to 15 WinRunner function
argument
49. How to handle Run-time errors? (a) On Error Resume Next : causes
execution to continue with the statement immediately following the statement that
caused the run-time error, or with the statement immediately following the most
recent call out of the procedure containing the On Error Resume Next statement.
This allows execution to continue despite a run-time error. You can then build the
error-handling routine inline within the procedure. Using “Err” object msgbox
“Error no: ” & “ ” & Err.Number & “ ” & Err.description & “ ” & Err.Source &
Err.HelpContext
50. How to change the run-time value of a property for an object? Ans
: SetTOProperty changes the property values used to identify an object during the
test run. Only properties that are included in the test object description
can be set
51. How to retrieve the property of an object? Ans : using

“GetRoProperty”.
52. How to open any application during Scripting? Ans : SystemUtil ,

object used to open and close applications and processes during a run
session. (a) A SystemUtil.Run statement is automatically added to your test
when you run an application from the Start menu or the Run dialog box while
recording a test E.g : SystemUtil.Run
“Notepad.exe” SystemUtil.CloseDescendentProcesses ( Closes all
the processes opened by QTP )
53. Types of properties that Quick Test learns while recording? Ans :
(a) Mandatory (b) Assistive . In addition to recording the mandatory
and assistive properties specified in the Object Identification dialog box, QuickTest
can also record a backup ordinal identifier for each test object. The ordinal identifier
assigns the object a numerical value that indicates its order relative to other objects
with an otherwise identical description (objects that have the same values for all
properties specified in the mandatory and assistive property lists). This ordered value
enables QuickTest to create a unique description when the mandatory and assistive
properties are not sufficient to do so.
54. What is the extension of script and object repository files? Ans :
Object Repository : .tsr , Script : .mts, Excel : Default.xls
55. How to supress warnings from the “Test results page”? Ans :
From the Test results Viewer “Tools > Filters > Warnings”…must be “Unchecked”. 55.
When we try to use test run option “Run from Step”, the browser is not launching
automatically why? Ans : This is default behaviour.
56. Does QTP is “Unicode” compatible? Ans : QTP 6.5 is not but
QTP 8.0 is expected to be Unicode compatabile by end of December 2004.
57. How to “Turn Off” QTP results after running a Script? Ans : Goto
“Tools > Options > Run Tab” and Deselect “View results when run session ends”. But
this supresses only the result window, but a og will be created and can viewed
manulaly which cannot be restricted from getting created.
58. How to get “FontSize” of a “WebEdit”?
59. Is there anyway to automatically update the Datasource name in

Database Checkpoints object when we migrate tests to a new release?
60. How to verify the Cursor focus of a certain field? Ans : Use “focus”
property of “GetRoProperty” method” 6
1. Any limitation to XML Checkpoints? Ans : Mercury has determined that

1.4MB is the maximum size of a XML file that QTP 6.5 can handle
62. How to make arguments optional in a function? Ans : this is

not possible as default VBS doesn’t support this. Instead you can pass a blank scring
and have a default value if arguments r not required.
63. How to covert a String to an integer? Ans : CInt()—> a

conversion function available.
64. Inserting a Call to Action is not Importing all columns in Datatable of

globalsheet. Why? Ans : Inserting a call to action will only Import the
columns of the Action called
Automated Test Script Creation Process

Debugging and troubleshooting test scripts becomes extremely tedious when the test
script has hundreds of lines of code, verification points, branching logic, error handling,
parameters, and test correlation among various recorded business processes. A more
manageable approach to debugging complex and lengthy test scripts is to record portions
of the script and debug those portions individually before recording other parts of the test
script. After testing individual portions, you can determine how one portion of the test
script works with another portion and how data flows from one recorded process to the
other. After all sections for a test script have been recorded, you can playback the entire
test script and ensure that it properly plays back from the beginning to the end with one
or more sets of data.
Always create a test plan that will assist in the creation of the regression test script. A
test script is only as good as the planning that takes place before it is written. This saves
time and organizes the process.
Remember that all regression test scripts will be written to run in the QA environment as
well as the production environment. The automated regression test use will be a part of
the production test used to determine if a build truly does function as expected in
production.
To manage the creation and edit of our automated regression tests QA will create
automated tests in the following manner:
1. Record each individual process such as logging in and logging out. Save
those recordings on your desktop.
2. Verify that the script will play back with no errors.
3. Continue recording and playing back throughout the test script creation
process, verifying the script will play back with each step taken.
4. Add multiple sets of data driven tests for each individual portion of each test
where that kind of test is applicable.
5. Verify the individual test scripts with multiple sets of data will play back
with no errors.
6. Add various check points throughout the test.
7. Verify the individual test scripts with various check points will play back
with no errors.
8. Now integrate all recorded processes into one large test script.
9. Verify the large test script will play back with no errors.
The key here is to ensure that each recorded process plays back successfully before
proceeding to record the remaining portions of the entire test script. Do not string the
individual tests together for playback without first verifying that all of the processes
could play back successfully as individual processes.
Lesson to be learned here is to never, EVER wait to debug a script until the entire test
script has been recorded.
Synchronization
Since QTP can play back recorded test scripts much faster than an end-user’s manual
keystrokes all tests must be synchronized. Introduce artificial wait times in the test
scripts to make sure the script will run appropriately without errors unattended. Take into
account the fact that there will be times when the script will need to run slower than a
manual test due to network issues, etc. The goal here is we want to make sure the scripts
will run unattended through Test Director. Slowing down a script with wait times is not
very scientific and does not contribute to the creation of a robust automated test script
that plays back successfully without user intervention. That said, sync times will be
edited after the test script has been written in its entirety and has been tested to ensure it
runs with no errors.
Signed-off, Peer Reviewed
As part of the test readiness review criteria, test scripts will be formally accepted and
approved prior to starting the test cycle. QA, Business Analysts and Developers should
be involved in approving recorded test scripts. The QA Analyst writing the automated
test script should demonstrate that the test script successfully plays back in the QA
environment and, if possible, with various sets of data.
Recording, Playing Back Against Hidden Objects
Scripts might be recorded to populate or double click values for a field within a table grid
or an array where the location of this field is not fixed. If the field’s location within a
table grid or array changes from the time it was recorded, the script might fail during play
back. Test scripts often fail during play back because the locations of objects that are not
displayed or visible within the screen have changed.
In order to play back scripts that are location sensitive or where the location is subject to
change, it might be necessary to enhance the script with functionality such as ‘scroll
down’, ‘next page’, or ‘find’. Including such utilities ensures that hidden objects
requiring play back will be identified, and/or double clicked regardless of their location
within an array, table grid, or the displayed screen.
Create Automatic Notification for Critical Scripts
Test scripts should be enhanced with error handling programming logic that instantly
sends error messages to a tester’s e-mail address when problems occur. Since some test
scripts are business critical and must run as batch jobs in the middle of the night we need
to know if something failed as soon as possible. The proper and successful execution of
these business critical test scripts can serve as a dependency or pre-condition for other
automated tasks. Always include logic in business critical test scripts that automatically
sends notification in the event of a failure.
Documentation
To make test scripts reusable and easier to maintain, please document all relevant
information for executing the test script, a test script header, and any special conditions
for execution of the test script. Example:
1. Adjust dates within the application in QA environment for running reports.
2. Update any fields that require unique data.
3. Display settings for context sensitive/analog/bitmap recording.
4. List other test scripts that are dependencies.
5. Specify necessary authorization levels or user roles for executing the script.
6. Conditions under which the script can fail and work around for re-launching
the script.
7. Applications that need to be either opened or closed during the script
execution.
8. Specific data formats, etc.
Scripts should contain a header with a description (example: what it is used for) and its
particular purpose (example: regression testing). The script header should also include
the script author and owner, creation and modification date, requirement identifiers that
the script traces back to, the product the script supports and the number of variables and
parameters of the script. Providing this information in the test script header facilitates the
execution, modification, and maintenance of the script for future testing efforts.
How to Close QTP after execution

Private Function CloseQTP Set objWMIService =
GetObject(”winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMV2″) Set colProcess =
objWMIService.ExecQuery (”Select * from Win32_Process Where Name =
‘QTPro.exe’”) For Each objProcess in colProcess
objProcess.Terminate() Next Set objWMIService = Nothing Set
colProcess = NothingEnd FunctionCall CloseQTP
What is the QuickTest Automation Object Model?
You can use the QuickTest Professional Automation Object Model to write programs that
automate your QuickTest operations. The QuickTest Automation Object Model provides
objects, methods, and properties that enable you to control QuickTest from another
application.
The new QuickTest Professional Automation Object Model enables you to automate test
management.
You can now control virtually every QuickTest feature and capability using the objects,
methods and properties included in the QuickTest Professional Automation Object
Model. Automation scripts make it easy to perform any QuickTest operation multiple
times in multiple tests without having to open the QuickTest application, for example,
• You can write a script that modifies the test object description properties in the
Object Identification dialog box and performs an update run on all tests in a
specified file folder.
• After installing a new add-in, an automation script can associate this add-in to all
relevant tests.
• You can write an automation script to run a selected batch of tests. For each test,
you can retrieve the associated add-ins list. Then, if the necessary add-ins are not
already loaded, you can close QuickTest, load the necessary add-ins, reopen
QuickTest, and run the test.
• You can define your settings for a test in QuickTest, then click “Generate Script”
in the Generate tab of the Test Settings dialog box to generate an automation
script based on the current test settings. You can then apply those same settings
automatically to multiple tests using the whole automation script or excerpts from
the generated file.
Example:
You can create and run an automation program from Microsoft Visual Basic that loads
the required add-ins for a test, starts QuickTest in visible or minimized mode, opens the
test, configures settings that correspond to those in the Options, Test Settings, and Record
and Run Settings dialog boxes, runs the test, and saves the test.
Creating automation programs:
The Properties tab of the Test Settings dialog box, the General tab of the Options dialog
box, and the Object Identification dialog box each contain a “Generate Script” button.
Clicking this button generates a automation script file (.vbs) containing the current
settings from the corresponding dialog box.
You can run the generated script as is to open QuickTest with the exact configuration of
the QuickTest application that generated the script, or you can copy and paste selected
lines from the generated files into your own automation script.
Generating an automation script for QuickTest Professional options:
1. Go to Tools -> Options.
2. Select the General tab.
3. Click <Generate Script>.
4. Save the script to the desired location.
5. Click <OK> to close the Options dialog.
Generating an automation script for test settings:
1. Go to Test -> Settings.
2. Select the Properties tab.
5. Click <OK> to close the Test Settings dialog.
Generating an automation script for object identification settings:
1. Go to Tools -> Object Identification.
4. Click <OK> to close the Object Identification dialog.
The QuickTest Automation Object Model Reference file is a help file that provides
detailed descriptions, syntax information, and examples for the objects, methods, and
properties in the QuickTest Automation Object Model.
When QuickTest Professional 6.5 is installed you can open the QuickTest Automation
Object Model Reference from:
• The QuickTest program folder (Start -> Programs -> QuickTest Professional ->
Documentation -> Automation Object Model Reference)
• The QuickTest Help menu (Help -> QuickTest Automation Object Model
Reference)
Get the name of the open browser::
Set browserDesc = Description.Create()
browserDesc(”application version”).Value = “internet explorer 6″
Set browserColl = DeskTop.ChildObjects(browserDesc)
browserCnt = browserColl.Count
MsgBox “There are “&browserCnt&” instances of a browser”
For i = 0 To (browserCnt -1)

MsgBox “Browser # “&i&” has title = “& browserColl(i).GetROProperty(”title”)
Next ‘ i
Set browserColl = Nothing
Set browserDesc = Nothing
General Standards to be followed in Test scripts

• Indent the code to make it readable and understandable for others.
• Avoid hard coding system specific values like folder locations, instead
set it relatively with respect to the Main/Startup script.
• Use synchronization functions instead of wait () function.
• Use GUI checkpoints for all static links, buttons and edit fields in every
page (optional)
• Use parameterization instead of using hard coded data to populate the
AUT.
• All references returned by the AUT must be written to the data table
and verified later. These references must be written to the test report
as well.
• All automation steps should be properly commented.
• All Logic should be commented and explained.
• The Global data sheet should not be used for importing any test data.
• The Global sheet should be used only when there are any parameters to
be passed in between actions or when certain data has to be maintained
through out the test.
• Use the local sheet to import any test data.
• All actions except the main calling action are to be reusable action.
• Declare all variables used in the action in the start of the action itself.
While using condition statements to control flow, indent the line, for
easy readability.
Test Script Format

The test scripts are developed using Quick Test Pro tool. The initial action of
each subgroup starts the XYZ application and executes the test conditions.
Each script executes the test conditions. The expected result is verified with
the actual outcome whenever required. Given below is a sample test script
format to be kept in the start of each action
‘************************************************************************************************

 Maintenance Run Mode :
Repair your test on the fly, this will assists you to adding the steps or uodating the object
proprties in OR on the fly.i.e. if your object properties are changed after a new build, you
just run the Maintenance Run Mode and update your OR according to that on the fly.
 Process Guidance :
This is little more than more accessible help files. Maybe this is good for when you are
first learning to record a test, but it doesn’t seem to add much utility.

1) How to Stop the execution of the test.
Syntax
Services.Abort 2)How to add folders
Sub AddNewFolder(path, folderName) Dim fso, f, fc, nf

Set fso = CreateObject(”Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
Set f = fso.GetFolder(path)
Set fc = f.SubFolders
If folderName <> “” Then
Set nf =
fc.Add(folderName)
Else
Set nf = fc.Add(“New Folder”)
End If End Sub
An error occurs if the folderName already exists.
3 )How to get the ASCII valuse for a character
Remarks
In the following example, Asc returns the ANSI character code of the first letter of each
string:
Dim MyNumber MyNumber = Asc(“A”)
‘ Returns 65.
MyNumber = Asc(“a”)
‘ Returns 97.
MyNumber = Asc(“Apple”) ‘ Returns 65.

Note The AscB function is used with byte data contained in a string. Instead of
returning the character code for the first character, AscB returns the first byte. AscW is
provided for 32-bit platforms that use Unicode characters. It returns the Unicode (wide)
character code, thereby avoiding the conversion from Unicode to ANSI.
4) How to get Character fron ASCII value
Remarks
Numbers from 0 to 31 are the same as standard, nonprintable ASCII codes. For example,
Chr(10) returns a linefeed character.
The following example uses the Chr function to return the character associated with the
specified character code:
Dim MyChar
MyChar = Chr(65) ‘ Returns A.
MyChar = Chr(97) ‘ Returns a.
MyChar = Chr(62) ‘ Returns >. MyChar = Chr(37) ‘ Returns %.
Note The ChrB function is used with byte data contained in a string. Instead of
returning a character, which may be one or two bytes, ChrB always returns a single byte.
ChrW is provided for 32-bit platforms that use Unicode characters. Its argument is a
Unicode (wide) character code, thereby avoiding the conversion from ANSI to Unicode.
5)Accessing User-Defined Properties of Web Objects
You can use the attribute/<property name> notation to access native properties of Web
objects and use these properties to identify such objects with programmatic descriptions.
For example, suppose a Web page has the same company logo image in two places on the
page: <IMG src=”logo.gif” mce_src=”logo.gif” LogoID=”122″> <IMG src=”logo.gif”
mce_src=”logo.gif” LogoID=”123″> You could identify the image that you want to click
using a programmatic description by including the user-defined property LogoID in the
description as follows: Browser(”Mercury Tours”).Page(”Find
Flights”).Image(”src:=logo.gif”,”attribute/LogoID:=123″).Click 68, 12 Note: The
attribute/<property name> notation is not supported in Netscape 4.x.
6)How to Run Your Automation Program
There are several applications available for running automation programs. You can also
run automation programs from command line using Microsoft’s Windows Script Host.
For example, you could use the following command line to run your automation program:
WScript.exe /E:VBSCRIPT myScript.vbs 7) What is the other way of making coments
instead of astrik(‘)
Ans: “Hello” : Rem Comment after a statement separated by a colon.
8)How to run commands in command prompt from qtpAns:You can run standard
DOS commands in your QuickTest test using the VBScript Windows Scripting Host
Shell object (WSCript.shell). For example, you can open a DOS command window,
change the path to C:\, and execute the DIR command using the following statements:
Dim oShell Set oShell = CreateObject (”WSCript.shell”) oShell.run “cmd /K CD C:\ &
Dir” Set oShell = Nothing 9) what is optional stepAns:
Description
Causes a step to be bypassed if an object in that step is not found.
Syntax
OptionalStep.StatementToMakeOptional
Example
The following example uses the OptionalStep object to make the Paris selection from
the Depart WebList an optional step. OptionalStep.Browser(”Mercury
Tours”).Page(”Find Flights”).WebList(”depart”).Select “Paris” 10)What is the
alternative way to getROpropertyAns) object.QueryValue(property to get)11)How
to get the number of childs in a tree a) Object.children.lengthex:
Browser(”xxx”).Page(”xxx”).Image(”xxx”).Object.children.length11)How to
know that the table has no recordsa) rs.RecordCount 12)What are the types of
parameters available in QTPa) 3 types 1) Action Parameters(Input ,output)These
parameters are restricted to that action only.i.e we can not use them for another
action.Note:Don’t think that the output action parameter can pass values between
action.The only purpouse with output action parameter is to assign the values at run time
rather than design time from the external source(application)Advantage: These
parameters are bound to the action even this action is called from another test.How to
Declare: Using Action property tabSyntax: Input parameter —variable=
parameter(“name”) Output parameter—Parameter(“name”)=value 2)
Test Parameters(Input ,output)These parameters are not restricted to that action i.e we
can use them for any nother action.Note These parameters are not found and unable to
use them in any action is called from another test.Advantage: test parameters can pass
values between action.How to Declare: Using Test Setting- parameters tabSyntax:
Input parameters— variable= TestArgs (“name”)Output parameters– TestArgs
(“name”)=value3)Local ParametersThese are also same as test parameters but we need
to Declare and use them from code not from IDE.Advantage:These parameters still can
used even the actions are called from any testSyntax:Declaration
LocalParameter(“name”)=valueUse: variable= LocalParameter(“name”)13)what are the
different ways to delay the execution steps in QTPAns)3 ways1) object.waitProperty
”propertyName”,”value”,”time in milli sec”This is called conditional wait This will
pauses the execution as long as the specified value of the property exist in the AUT or
specified time out which ever is earlier2) Wait(seconds)This is called unconditional
wait.i.e it will wait for the specified time3) Services.ThinkTime 10Same as wait14) How
to minimize QTP while runninga) Set qtApp = CreateObject(”QuickTest.Application”)
qtApp.WindowState = “Minimized”
Set qtApp = Nothing

How To close MsgBox Runtime

Write the below line as the first-line in your script. Set sh =
CreateObject(”Scripting.Shell”) …This will create a shell object at run-time and will be
available until the test ends.
If you are getting problem like ,Activex Component can’t create object Then use Set sh
=CreateObject(”WScript.Shell”)
Now… where ever you are having “msgbox” replace it with.. sh.Popup “message
content”, 5, “msg header”, (0+4
the above line will show the message content for 5 seconds(and vanishes after that).
The alert-box’s header will have “header info”. Last parameter(0+4 is actually two
things. 0 -> show OK button in the alertBox 48 -> “!” icon… if you use 64 u will see X
icon instead BTW… since u need the message to be displayed

QTP Tips and Faqs

This document gives answer to some FAQ and also provides tips on certain aspects
of QTP.
Data Table Two Types of data tables
• Global data sheet: Accessible to all the actions

• Local data sheet: Accessible to the associated action only
Usage:
• DataTable(”Column Name”,dtGlobalSheet) for Global data sheet

• DataTable(”Column Name”,dtLocalSheet) for Local data sheet
If we change any thing in the Data Table at Run-Time the data is changed only in the
run-time data table. The run-time data table is accessible onlythrough then test
result. The run-time data table can also be exported using DataTable.Export or
DataTable.ExportSheetHow can i save the changes to my DataTable in the test
itself?
• Well QTP does not allow anything for saving the run time changes to the
actual data sheet. The only work around is to share thespreadsheet and then
access it using the Excel COM Api’s.
How can i check if a parameter exists in DataTable or not?
• The best way would be to use the below code:
code:
on error resume next

val=DataTable(”ParamName”,dtGlobalSheet)
if err.number<> 0 then
‘Parameter does not exist
else
‘Parameter exists
end if
How can i make some rows colored in the data table?
• Well you can’t do it normally but you can use Excel COM API’s do the same.
Below code will explain some expects of Excel COM APIs
code:
Set xlApp=Createobject(”Excel.Application”)
set xlWorkBook=xlApp.workbooks.add
set xlWorkSheet=xlWorkbook.worksheets.add
xlWorkSheet.Range(”A1:B10″).interior.colorindex = 34 ‘Change the
color of the cells
xlWorkSheet.Range(”A1:A10″).value=”text” ‘Will set values of all
10 rows to “text”
xlWorkSheet.Cells(1,1).value=”Text” ‘Will set the value of first
row and first col
rowsCount=xlWorkSheet.Evaluate(”COUNTA(A:A)”) ‘Will count the #

of rows which have non blank value in the column A
colsCount=xlWorkSheet.Evaluate(”COUNTA(1:1)”) ‘Will count the #
of non blank columns in 1st row
xlWorkbook.SaveAs “C:\Test.xls”
xlWorkBook.Close
Set xlWorkSheet=Nothing
Set xlWorkBook=Nothing
set xlApp=Nothing
SMART IdentificationSmart Identification is nothing but an algorithm used by QTP

when it is not able to recognize one of the object. A very generic example as per
theQTP manual would be, A photograph of a 8 year old girl and boy and QTP records
identification properties of that girl when she was 8, now when
both are 10 years old then QTP would not be able to recognize the girl. But there is
something that is still the same, that is there is only one girl in
the photograph. So it kind of PI (Programmed intelligence) not AI.
When should i use SMART Identification?
• Something that people don’t think about too much. But the thing is that you
should disable SI while creating your test cases. So that youare able to
recognize the objects that are dynamic or inconsistent in their properties.
When the script has been created, the SI should be enabled,so that the script
does not fail in case of small changes. But the developer of the script should
always check for the test results to verify if the SI
feature was used to identify a object or not. Sometimes SI needs to be

disabled for particular objects in the OR, this is advisable when you use
SetTOProperty to change any of the TO properties of an object and especially

ordinal identifiers like index, location and creationtime.
Descriptive Programming
• Descriptive programming is nothing but a technique using which operations

can be performed on the AUT object which are not present in the OR.
Recovery ScenariosWhat is a Recovery Scenario?
• Recovery scenario gives you an option to take some action for recovering
from a fatal error in the test. The error could range in fromoccasional to
typical errors. Occasional error would be like “Out of paper” popup error while
printing something and typical errors would be like”object is disabled” or
“object not found”. A test case have more then one scenario associated with it
and also have the priority or order in which it
should be checked.
What does a Recovery Scenario consists of?
• Trigger: Trigger is nothing but the cause for initiating the recovery scenario.
It could be any popup window, any test error, particular stateof an object or
any application error.
• Action: Action defines what needs to be done if scenario has been triggered.
It can consist of a mouse/keyboard event, close application, call arecovery
function defined in library file or restart windows. You can have a series of all
the specified actions.
• Post-recovery operation: Basically defined what need to be done after the
recovery action has been taken. It could be to repeat the step, moveto next
step etc….
When to use a Recovery Scenario and when to us on error resume next?
• Recovery scenarios are used when you cannot predict at what step the error
can occur or when you know that error won’t occur in yourQTP script but
could occur in the world outside QTP, again the example would be “out of
paper”, as this error is caused by printer device driver. “Onerror resume next”
should be used when you know if an error is expected and dont want to raise
it, you may want to have different actions
depending upon the error that occurred. Use err.number & err.description to
get more details about the error.
Library Files or VBScript Files

How do we associate a library file with a test ?
• Library files are files containing normal VBScript code. The file can contain
function, sub procedure, classes etc…. You can also use executefilefunction to
include a file at run-time also. To associate a library file with your script go to
Test->Settings… and add your library file to resourcestab.
When to associate a library file with a test and when to use execute file?
• When we associate a library file with the test, then all the functions within
that library are available to all the actions present in the test. Butwhen we
use Executefile function to load a library file, then the function are available in
the action that called executefile. By associated a library toa test we share
variables across action (global variables basically), using association also
makes it possible to execute code as soon as the script
runs because while loading the script on startup QTP executes all the code on
the global scope. We can use executefile in a library file associated
with the test to load dynamic files and they will be available to all the actions
in the test.
Test and Run-time Object

What is the difference between Test Objects and Run Time Objects ?
• Test objects are basic and generic objects that QTP recognize. Run time
object means the actual object to which a test object maps.
Can i change properties of a test object
• Yes. You can use SetTOProperty to change the test object properties. It is
recommended that you switch off the Smart Identification for theobject on
which you use SetTOProperty function.
Can i change properties of a run time object?
• No (but Yes also). You can use GetROProperty(”outerText”) to get the

outerText of a object but there is no function like SetROProperty tochange
this property. But you can use WebElement().object.outerText=”Something”
to change the property.
Action & Functions

What is the difference between an Action and a function?
• Action is a thing specific to QTP while functions are a generic thing which is a
feature of VB Scripting. Action can have a object repositoryassociated with it
while a function can’t. A function is just lines of code with some/none
parameters and a single return value while an action canhave more than one
output parameters.
Where to use function or action?
• Well answer depends on the scenario. If you want to use the OR feature then
you have to go for Action only. If the functionality is not about anyautomation
script i.e. a function like getting a string between to specific characters, now
this is something not specific to QTP and can be done onpure VB Script, so
this should be done in a function and not an action. Code specific to QTP can
also be put into an function using DP. Decision of
using function/action depends on what any one would be comfortable using in
a given situation.
Checkpoint & Output value

What is checkpoint?
• Checkpoint is basically a point in the test which validates for truthfulness of a

specific things in the AUT. There are different types ofcheckpoints depending
on the type of data that needs to be tested in the AUT. It can be text,
image/bitmap, attributes, XML etc….
What’s the difference between a checkpoint and output value?
• Checkpoint only checks for the specific attribute of an object in AUT while
Output value can output those attributes value to a column in datatable.
How can i check if a checkpoint passes or not?code:
chk_PassFail = Browser(…).Page(…).WebEdit(…).Check
(Checkpoint(”Check1″))
if chk_PassFail then
MsgBox “Check Point passed”
else
MsgBox “Check Point failed”
end if
My test fails due to checkpoint failing, Can i validate a checkpoint without

my test failing due to checpoint failure?code:
Reporter.Filter = rfDisableAll ‘Disables all the reporting stuff

chk_PassFail = Browser(…).Page(…).WebEdit(…).Check
(Checkpoint(”Check1″))
Reporter.Filter = rfEnableAll ‘Enable all the reporting stuff
if chk_PassFail then
MsgBox “Check Point passed”
else
MsgBox “Check Point failed”
end if
Environment
How can i import environment from a file on disk
• Environment.LoadFromFile “C:\Env.xml”
How can i check if a environment variable exist or not?
• When we use Environment(”Param1″).value then QTP expects the

environment variable to be already defined. But when we
useEnvironment.value(”Param1″) then QTP will create a new internal
environment variable if it does not exists already. So to be sure that variable
existin the environment try using Environment(”Param1″).value.
How to connect to a database?code:
Const adOpenStatic = 3
Const adLockOptimistic = 3
Const adUseClient = 3
Set objConnection = CreateObject(”ADODB.Connection”)
Set objRecordset = CreateObject(”ADODB.Recordset”)
objConnection.Open “DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for
Oracle};UID=<UID>;PWD=<PWD>”
objRecordset.CursorLocation = adUseClient
objRecordset.CursorType = adopenstatic
objRecordset.LockType = adlockoptimistic
ObjRecordset.Source=”select field1,field2 from testTable”
ObjRecordset.ActiveConnection=ObjConnection
ObjRecordset.Open ‘This will execute your Query
If ObjRecordset.recordcount>0 then
Field1 = ObjRecordset(”Field1″).Value
Field2 = ObjRecordset(”Field2″).Value
End if
Running stored procedures from QTP

Public Function BIP_sqlRunStoredProcedure (sSProcName, sParameter1, sParameter2,
sParameter3)‘ Create the database object
Set oADO_CMD = CreateObject(”ADODB.Command”)
‘Get connection string

How to send a key command to a Web object
Some Web objects will perform actions when certain key commands, such as
ALT+RETURN, are entered. These Web objects do not have a type method associated
with them that can be used to replay these keys. How can the key combination be
replayed?
Solution: Use the Windows Scripting SendKeys method

1. Create a WScript.Shell object.
2. Activate the browser in which you want to execute the keys.
3. Use the SendKeys method to type the key combination.
Example:
‘ This code executes the CTRL+F key combination (search) on a browser.
Set WshShell = CreateObject(”WScript.Shell”)
WshShell.AppActivate “Put the label of the browser” ‘ Activate the browser window
wait(3)
WshShell.SendKeys “^f” ‘ The caret (^) represents the CTRL key.
wait(2)
object.SendKeys(string)
object A WshShell object.
string The string value indicating the keystroke(s) you want to send.
The SendKeys method will send keystroke(s) to the active window. To send a single
character (for example, x), use “x” as the string argument. To send multiple characters
(for example, abc), use “abc” as the string argument. You can also send special
characters such as SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT, which are represented by the plus sign (+),
the caret (^), and the percent sign (%), respectively.
For more information on the SendKeys method and other special keys, such as the
backspace or a function key, please refer to the MSDN SendKeys Method page.
===============================================================
=====================================
‘ Name: KeyboardShortCut
‘
‘ Input:
‘ ByRef Key As Variant - The keyboard key to be typed.
‘ ByRef Pane As Variant - The window/pane to type in.
‘ Purpose: To type keyboard input onto the open window.
‘===============================================================
=====================================
Function KeyboardShortCut (Key)
dim obj
Set obj = Window(”Window Name” ).WinObject(”Object”)
obj.type Key
Environment(”LastResult”) = “Success”
End Function
Solution2: Pressing Function keys should be recorded automatically
Directly recording on the application and pressing the Function Keys (F1, F2, etc.) should
generate code for replay.
Example:
‘Here is an example recorded against Notepad:
Window(”Notepad”).Activate
Window(”Notepad”).WinEditor(”Edit”).Type micF5
If the above does not work, then you can use DeviceReplay to simulate pressing
keyboard keys.
Example:
‘Here is an example that does the same thing above, but used DeviceReplay.
Set obj = CreateObject(”Mercury.DeviceReplay”)
Window(”Notepad”).Activate
obj.PressKey 63
Note:
The PressKey method uses the appropriate ASCII or IBM Scan Code value for the key.
“63″ is the IBM Scan Code value for F5.

Prompt for password entry and hide while it is

being typed
some times we need to prompt input box for a password and we need to hide a password
while it is being typed.
But it is not possible with normal VBScript . we can use the AOM for IE with VBScript
to do this.
Following is the code
strPw = GetPassword( “Please enter your password:” )

msgbox “Your password is: ” & strPw
Function GetPassword( myPrompt )
‘ This function uses Internet Explorer to
‘ create a dialog and prompt for a password.
Dim objIE
‘ Create an IE object
Set objIE = CreateObject( “InternetExplorer.Application” )
‘ specify the IE settings
objIE.Navigate “about:blank”
objIE.Document.Title = “Password”
objIE.ToolBar = False
objIE.Resizable = False
objIE.StatusBar = False
objIE.Width = 300
objIE.Height = 180
‘ Center the dialog window on the screen
With objIE.Document.ParentWindow.Screen
objIE.Left = (.AvailWidth - objIE.Width ) \ 2
objIE.Top = (.Availheight - objIE.Height) \ 2
End With
‘ Insert the HTML code to prompt for a password

objIE.Document.Body.InnerHTML = “<DIV align=”"center”"><P>” & myPrompt _
& “</P>” & vbCrLf _
& “<P><INPUT TYPE=”"password”" SIZE=”"20″” ” _
& “ID=”"Password”"></P>” & vbCrLf _
& “<P><INPUT TYPE=”"hidden”" ID=”"OK”" ” _
& “NAME=”"OK”" VALUE=”"0″”>” _
& “<INPUT TYPE=”"submit”" VALUE=”" OK “” ” _
& “OnClick=”"VBScript:OK.Value=1″”></P></DIV>”
‘ Make the window visible
objIE.Visible = True
‘ Wait till the OK button has been clicked
Do While objIE.Document.All.OK.Value = 0
WScript.Sleep 200
Loop
‘ Read the password from the dialog window
GetPassword = objIE.Document.All.Password.Value
‘ Close and release the object
objIE.Quit
Set objIE = Nothing
End Function
The code will create the screen like this

Descriptive programming
Descriptive programming
When and Why to use Descriptive programming?
Below are some of the situations when Descriptive Programming can be considered
useful:
1. The objects in the application are dynamic in nature and need special handling to
identify the object. The best example would be of clicking a link which changes
according to the user of the application, Ex. “Logout <>”.
2. When object repository is getting huge due to the no. of objects being added. If the size
of Object repository increases too much then it decreases the performance of QTP while
recognizing a object.
3. When you don’t want to use object repository at all. Well the first question would be
why not Object repository? Consider the following scenario which would help
understand why not Object repository Scenario 1: Suppose we have a web application
that has not been developed yet. Now QTP for recording the script and adding the objects
to repository needs the application to be up, that would mean waiting for the application
to be deployed before we can start of with maki! ng QTP scripts. But if we know the
descriptions of the objects that will be created then we can still start off with the script
writing for testing Scenario 2: Suppose an application has 3 navigation buttons on each
and every page. Let the buttons be “Cancel”, “Back” and “Next”. Now recording action
on these buttons would add 3 objects per page in the repository. For a 10 page flow this
would mean 30 objects which could have been represented just by using 3 objects. So
instead of adding these 30 objects to the repository we can just write 3 descriptions for
the object and use it on any page.
4. Modification to a test case is needed but the Object repository for the same is Read
only or in shared mode i.e. changes may affect other scripts as well. 5. When you want to
take action on similar type of object i.e. suppo! se we have 20 textboxes on the page and
there names are in the form txt_1, txt_2, txt_3 and so on. Now adding all 20 the Object
repository would not be a good programming approach. How to use Descriptive
programming? There are two ways in which descriptive programming can be used
1. By creating properties collection object for the description.
2. By giving the description in form of the string arguments.
1. By creating properties collection object for the description. To use this method you
need first to create an empty description Dim obj_Desc ‘Not necessary to declare
Set obj_Desc = Description.Create
Now we have a blank description in “obj_Desc”.
Each description has 3 properties “Name”, “Value” and “Regular Expression”.
obj_Desc(“html tag”).value= “INPUT”
When you use a property name for the first time the property is added to the collection
and when you use it again the property is modified. By default each property that is
defined is a regular expression. Suppose if we have the following
description obj_Desc(“html tag”).value= “INPUT” obj_Desc(“name”).value= “txt.*”
This would mean an object with html tag as INPUT and name starting with txt. Now
actually that “.*” was considered as regular expression. So, if you! want the property
“name” not to be recognized as a regular expression then you need to set the
“regularexpression” property as FALSE
obj_Desc(“name”).value= “txt.*” o
bj_Desc(“name”).regularexpression= “txt.*”
This is how of we create a description. Now below is the way we can use it
Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).WebEdit(obj_Desc).set “Test”
When we say .WebEdit(obj_Desc) we define one more property for our description that
was not earlier defined that is it’s a text box (because QTPs WebEdit boxes map to text
boxes in a web page). If we know that we have more than 1 element with same
description on the page then we must define “index” property for the that description
Consider the HTML code given below
Now the html code has two objects with same description. So distinguish between these 2
objects we will use the “index” property.
Here is the description for both the object
For 1st textbox:
obj_Desc(“! html tag”).value= “INPUT”
obj_Desc(“name”).value= “txt_Name”
obj_Desc(“index”).value= “0”
For 2nd textbox:
obj_Desc(“index”).value= “1”
! Consider the HTML Code given below:
We can use the same description for both the objects and still distinguish between both of
them

When I want to refer to the textbox then I! will use the inside a WebEdit object and to
refer to the radio button I will use the description object with the WebRadioGroup object.
Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).WebEdit(obj_Desc).set “Test” ‘
Refers to the text box Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).WebRadioGroup(obj_Desc).set

“Test” ‘
Refers to the radio button But if we use WebElement object for the description then we
must define the “index” property because for a webelement the current description would
return two objects. Hierarchy of test description: When using programmatic descriptions
from a specific point within a test object hierarchy, you must continue to use
programmatic descriptions from that point onward within the same statement. If you
specify a test object by its object repository name after other objects in the hierarchy have
been described using programmatic descriptions, QuickTest cannot identify the object.
For example, you can use Browser(Desc1).Page(Desc1).Link(desc3),
since it uses programmatic descriptions throughout the entire test object hierarchy. You
can also use
Browser(”Index”).Page(Desc1).Link(desc3),
since it uses programmatic descriptions from a certain point in the description (starting
from the Page object description). However, you cannot use
Browser(Desc1).Page(Desc1).Link(”Example1″),
since it uses programmatic descriptions for the Browser and Page objects but then
attempts to use an object repository name for the Link test object (QuickTest tries to
locate the Link object based on its name, but cannot locate it in the repository because the
parent objects were specified using programmatic descriptions).
Getting Child Object: We can use description object to get all the objects on the page
that matches that specific description. Suppose we have to check all the checkboxes
present on a web page. So we will first create an object description for a checkboxe and
then get all the checkboxes from the page
Dim obj_ChkDesc
Set obj_ChkDesc=Description.Create
obj_ChkDesc(“html tag”).value = “INPUT”

obj_ChkDesc(“type”).value = “checkbox”
Dim allCheckboxes, singleCheckBox
Set allCheckboxes = Browse(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).ChildObjects(obj_ChkDesc)
For each singleCheckBox in allCheckboxes singleCheckBox.Set “ON” Next
The above code will check all the check boxes present on the page.!
To get all the child objects we need to specify an object description i.e. we can’t use the
string arguments that will be discussed later in the 2nd way of using the programming
description. Possible Operation on Description Object Consider the below code for all the
solutions
Dim obj_ChkDesc
Set obj_ChkDesc=Description.Create
obj_ChkDesc(“html tag”).value = “INPUT”
obj_ChkDesc(“type”).value = “checkbox”
Q: How to get the no. of description defined in a collection
A: obj_ChkDesc.Count ‘Will return 2 in our case
Q: How to remove a description from the collection
A: obj_ChkDesc.remove “html tag” ‘would delete the html tag property from the
collection
Q: How do I check if property exists or not in the collection? !
A: The answer is that it’s not possible. Because whenever we try to access a property
which is not defined its automatically added to the collection. The only way to determine
is to check its value that is use a if statement “
if obj_ChkDesc(“html tag”).value = empty then”.
Q: How to browse through all the properties of a properties collection?
A: Two ways 1st:
For each desc in obj_ChkDesc

Name=desc.Name
Value=desc.Value R
E = desc.regularexpression
Next
2nd:
For i=0 to obj_ChkDesc.count - 1
Name= obj_ChkDesc(i).Name
Value= obj_ChkDesc(i).Value
RE = obj_ChkDesc(i).regularexpression
Next
2. By giving the description in form of the string arguments. You can describe an object
directly in a statement by specifying property:=value pairs describing the object instead
of specifying an object’s name.
The general syntax is:
TestObject(”PropertyName1:=PropertyValue1″, “…” ,
“PropertyNameX:=PropertyValueX”)
TestObject—the test object class could be WebEdit, WebRadioGroup etc….
PropertyName:=PropertyValue—the test object property and its value.
Each property:=value pair should be separated by commas and quotation marks. Note
that you can enter a variable name as the property value if you want to find an object
based on property values you retrieve during a run session. Consider the HTML Code
given below:
Now to refer to the textbox the statement would be as given below
Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).WebEdit(“Name:=txt_Name”,”html
tag:=INPUT”).set “Test”
And to refer to the radio button the statement would be as given below
Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).WebRadioGroup(“Name:=txt_Name”,”html
tag:=INPUT”).set “Test”
If we refer to them as a web element then we will have to distinguish between the 2 using
the index property
Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).WebElement(“Name:=txt_Name”,”html
tag:=INPUT”,”Index:=0”).set “Test” ‘
Refers to the textbox
Browser(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).WebElement(“Name:=txt_Name”,”html
tag:=INPUT”,”Index:=1”).set “Test” ‘
Refers to the radio button
