Quick Test Professional

Quick Test ProcessQuick Test Process

• Quick Test testing process consists of 7 main phases

• Preparing to record– Test Environment– Test Conditions

• Recording a session on your application– Navigate according to Test Conditions

• Enhancing your test– Adding logic and conditional statements– Parameterization– Inserting checkpoints

• Debugging your test– Check that it operates smoothly and without

interruption.

• Run Test – Check the behavior of your application

• Analyzing the test results

• Reporting defects

• Various Add ins

Add insAdd ins

• Default Add ins– ActiveX– Multimedia– Visual Basic– Web

• Available Add ins– Java– .Net– etc..

Recording ModesRecording Modes

• Normal recording– Records the objects in your application

and the operations performed on them. This mode is the default and takes full advantage of Quick Test’s test object model.

• Analog Recording– Record the exact mouse and keyboard

operations you perform in relation to either the screen or the application window.

• Low-Level Recording– Record on any object in your application,

whether or not Quick Test recognizes the specific object or the specific operation.

Record and PlaybackRecord and Playback

• Advantages

• Useful in determining how the QTP interacts with the application under test.

• Provides initial ideas on how to develop test scripts.

• Useful while ‘Playing around’ with the tool

• Disadvantages

• Test scripts contains hard-coded values.

• This is not a viable cost-effective test automation approach for long term.

• Parameterize • property’s • value

• Interface between QTP Script and the Application

• Contains Logical Name and physical Description

Object SpyObject Spy

• It is used to view object properties and Methods

• Displays • Object hierarchy tree • Run-time object methods

Data Driven Approach

Enhancing TestsEnhancing Tests

1. Parameterizing Tests

2. Creating Output Values

3. Creating Checkpoints

4. Dividing Tests into Multiple Actions

5. Inserting Transactions.

6. Calling External Files.

Parameterizing Tests Parameterizing Tests

Steps for Parameterization

1. Defining a Data Table Parameter

2. Adding Parameter Values to a Data Table

3. Modifying Steps Affected by Parameterization

4. Running and Analyzing a Parameterized Test

Demo…………..Demo…………..

• How to provide the data to the respective Parameter through Expert View

ResultsResults• After running a test, we can view a report of

major events that occurred during the test run.

• The Test Results window contains a description of the steps performed during the test run.

• If the test contains Data Table parameters, and the test settings it shows on Test Results window.

• Results are grouped by the actions in the test.

Virtual ObjectsVirtual Objects

• QTP teaches to recognize a bitmap area as a standard object except edit.

CheckpointsCheckpointsUsed to check the current behavior of the application with the expected behavior.

Text /Text Area Checkpoint

Standard Checkpoint

Table Checkpoint

Page checkpoint

Database Checkpoint

Image Checkpoint

Accessibility Checkpoint

Bitmap Checkpoint

XML Checkpoint

Synchronization PointSynchronization Point• Synchronization point is used to solve anticipated

timings problems between QTP script and the application.

• Why synchronize– Waiting for a Message box to appear– Wait for a object status – Wait for the page to load

• Methods– Sync– Exist– WaitProperty– Wait

Creating Output ValuesCreating Output Values

• This is just reverse to the Parameterization, In this case QTP takes the data from the application and displays the same in the Data Table.

Actions (1)Actions (1)

• Actions help to divide Test Script into logical units• Usage :

1)We can design more modular and efficient tests.

2)Actions enable you to parameterize specific components

of a test

3)Two or more tests can call the same action

4)Complex tests may have many actions and may share

actions with other tests.• Example:

Actions (2)Actions (2)

We can divide Test Script into multiple actions by creating

new actions or by inserting existing actions.

Actions Classification:• Non-Reusable Action : An action that can be used only

in the test in which it was created• Reusable Action : An action that can be called multiple

times by the test in which it was created (the local test) as well as by other tests.

• External Action : A reusable action created in another test. External actions are read-only in the calling test. They can be modified only in the test in which they were created.

TransactionsTransactions• A transaction represents the business process that you

are interested in measuring

• You can measure how long it takes to run a section of your test by defining transactions.

• User can Plan the Scenario as transaction and use the Start Transaction and End Transaction while Recording.

Object RepositoryObject Repository

• All object related information is stored • Different from Win Runner (text file) , QTP its

binary file• Type

– Shared (.tsr)– Per action (.mtr)

• Managing Objects– Change a test object property value– SetTOProperty– Add properties– Parameterize a object property with Data table – Regular expressions

Test Object ModelTest Object Model• Set of object types or classes ( WebEdit, WebList, WebTable)• Each object has associated properties and methods.• Recorded properties will help tool to uniquely identify objects

– Mandatory properties– Assistive properties– Ordinal identifier

• Index or location

• Record vs. Replay– Test Object vs. Runtime – Object– Quick Test vs. Object Creator (Microsoft Explorer,Netscape)

• Methods– GetTOProperty, SetTOProperty– GetROProperty

Test Object Model (Test Object Properties)

Configuring Web Event Recording

• Basic– Records standard events, submit events on

the forms,click events (handler or behavior)

• Medium– Records click event on the <DIV><SPAN>

and <TD> html tag objects, apart from the basic

• High– Records mouseover,mousedown and double-

click events with handler

Test ConfigurationTest Configuration

• Tools-> Options

• Test -> Settings

• Test-> Record and Run Settings

• Setting(testing_option) = new_value

• new_value = Setting(testing_option)

Debugging TestsDebugging Tests

• Using Step Commands

• Pausing Test Runs

• Setting /Removing Breakpoints

• Using Debug Viewer

Recovery ManagerRecovery Manager

• Defining Recovery Scenarios– Trigger Event

• The event that interrupts your test run, for e.g a window pops up

– Recovery Operation• The operation that needs to be performed to

continue the test for e.g clicking “Yes” button?

– Post Recovery Test Run options• What would be your next step?

Create a Recovery ScenarioCreate a Recovery Scenario

• Define Trigger Event,Recovery Operation,Post Recovery option

• Add to the test, using the scenario tab of Test->Settings

• Programmatically Enabling, disabling Recovery Scenarios– Recovery.enabled = true– Recovery.enabled = false

User Defined FunctionsUser Defined Functions

• Working with User Defined Functions

• Working with Associated Library Files– Test ->Settings-> Resources

• Executing externally-defined functions– Executefilename <path>

Integration with WinRunner Integration with WinRunner

By this we will execute WinRunner script from the QuickTest – Call to WinRunner test – Call to WinRunner Function

Integration with Test DirectorIntegration with Test Director

By this integration we will store Test Case in to Test Director and execute remotely.
