Which Test Cases to Automate?
Tests that need to be run for every build of the application (sanity
check, regression test)
Tests that use multiple data values for the same actions (data driven
tests)
Stress/load testing
Tests requiring a great deal of precision
More repetitive execution!

Better candidate for automation.
REGRESSION TESTING
Leading Available Automation Tools
QTP An Introduction
Quick Test Professional is the flagship functional testing tool from

Mercury Interactive.
It is an icon based tool, which automates the functional & regression

testing of an application.
QTP is easier to use and implement for both technical & non
technical testers in comparison to other functional testing tools
available.
Latest Available versions is QTP 10.0
Salient Features
Scripting Language is VBScript which is easy to use , understand

and program even complex functionalities with ease..
Uses Active Screen technology to record scripts which aids the

tester in referring to the screens object properties.
Library files contains VBScript functions and subroutines that can

be added to the test.

view the details of an individual action or the entire test flow
Test pane: containing two tabs to view your testthe Keyword View
and the Expert View
Test Details pane : containing the Active Screen
Data Table: containing two or more tabs to assist you in parameterizing

your testGlobal and one tab for each Action
Test Object Model
This is a large set of object types or classes that Quick Test uses to
represent the objects in AUTs
Properties
Methods
A test object is an object that

- represents the actual object
- stores information about that object.
A run-time object is the actual object in the AUT.
Test Object Model

Test Object
Run Time Object

QTP Test Object
Modeling
Quick Test Professional maps the Run Time Object to

a Test Object already present in its repository.
Once recognized it can repeat all our actions.
Objects
You may have called your button as
button1, but QTP recognizes it
with the name Calculate
HTML Code for the button CALCULATE
<INPUT id=button1 type=button

value=Calculate name= button1 title=""
LANGUAGE=javascript onclick="return
button1_onclick()">
Object Repository
Object Repositories
Object Repository
Object Repositories
Object Repository acts as a translator between QTP script and the

Operating System ( similar to GUI map concept in win runner).
Types of Object Repositories
Shared Object Repository
Per Action Object Repository
Per Action vs Shared Object Repository

Per Action Object Repository
Separate action repository for each

action.
If an object description changes, you
need to modify the object in every
action repository using that object.
No need for any Object Repository
administrator.
Preferred method if application wont
change during renovation
Default Object Repository. Preferable
for novice QTP users.
Shared Object Repository

can use the same shared object
repository file for multiple tests.
If an object description changes, you
only have to modify in the shared
Object Repository all tests will
playback properly.
Requires Shared object repository
creation and maintenance.
Crucial if application may change
during renovation
Most commonly used across
Automation projects.
Record & Playback
To Record a Test
Steps to follow:
1 Open Quick Test.
2 Open a test:
To create a new test, click
on New
To open an existing test,
click on Open
3 Click the Record button If

you are recording for the first
time the Record and Run
Settings dialog box opens.
Playback

Keyword View
1. Actions bring in modularity
2. Iteration can be controlled.
3. Actions can be reused.
1. First name is the name of the edit box.

2. Set is the method
Expert View
The Expert View uses VBScript
Check Points in QTP

A checkpoint verifies that expected information is displayed
in your application while the test is running.
Types of Check Points
Inserting Check Points
Right Click the object and select Insert

Checkpoint.
Analyzing a Test with Check Points
Checkpoint
Failed
Checkpoint
Passed
Synchronization Points
What is a Synchronization Point?
A synchronization point is a line in the test script that instructs

QTP to wait for a certain response from the application during
playback.
Why Synchronize?
Without synchronization point

How to Add Synchronization Points
Locate the lines in the script to insert the synchronization point
In Quick Test choose Insert > Step > Synchronization Point.

The mouse pointer turns into a pointing hand. This should be
done while recording.
Using the Hand Pointer click on the object to Synchronize.
Add Synchronization Point dialog box opens.
How to Add Synchronization Points
Select the Property name and its corresponding value which you want to
use for the synchronization point.
Enter the synchronization point timeout (in milliseconds) and Click OK. A
Wait Property step is added to your test.
For e.g for this case the step inserted in the script will be
Dialog(Login).WaitProperty "enabled", 1, 10000
Test Parameterization
How Long Does it Wait?
TIME PARAMETER (test script)

+
Object synchronization timeout
(Test Settings)
=
TOTAL TIME
Why Parameterization ?
Parameterization allows us to pick different values at run time.
Reduces Time and Effort.
Usage of data drivers allow us to use the same data for various
input boxes.
Parameterization can also be done for checkpoints.
Parameterization Continues
1. The hard coded values can be made to vary.

2. The values will be taken from the excel sheet.
3. Right click on the object name and select method
arguments
Global and Action Data Sheets
The Data Table contains two types of sheets:
Global sheet: This enables you to share information from one action
to another. Should be used for data drivers and Output Values.
Action Sheet: Each action also has its own sheet in the Data Table so
that you can insert data that applies only to that action.
When there are parameters in a current actions sheet, you can set
Quick Test to run one or more iterations on that action before
continuing with the current global iteration of the test.
Output Values
Used when the output for one action is to be used as an input for a
subsequent action.
This can be parameterized.
Even labels can be used as output values.
Analyzing Test Results

Summary
Test Results
Test Results Tree - an icon-based view of the steps that were

performed while the test was running. Similar to the test tree in Quick
Test main screen
Iteration Summary Provides the Status (pass/Fail) of each iteration

individually.
Status Summary - Indicates the number of checkpoints or reports that

passed, failed, and raised warnings during the test.
Viewing Test Results
Iteration Failed
Actions
Actions
Actions can divide a test into several distinct business Processes.
Each actions signifies a logical independent test.
To divide a test into actions you can

Insert a New Action
Split an existing action into two Actions
Insert a copy of an existing Action
Insert a call to an existing Action
In this way several actions can be integrated to each other within

the test or across different tests logically.
Creating Actions
Click on the new
Action Icon
Enter the name of the

new Action and assign
its attributes
Types of Actions
Reusable Action:
Can be reused in the same test multiple times.
Can be used in another test
Read Only
Parameter data can be from a
local excel (Editable)
original action sheet (Read Only)
Nested Action:
An action within an action.
Helps maintain the modularity of your test
Enables to run one action or another based on the results of a
conditional statement
Copy of an Action
A lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized,

distributed environment.
An XML notation for describing how messages are assembled and

transmitted over HTTP between service consumers (clients) and
service providers (servers)
XML based protocol that consists of three parts:

Envelope describes the contents of a message and how to process
it, and contain extra details such as security information or the final
destination of the message.
Header is a generic mechanism for adding features to a SOAP
message in a decentralized manner without prior agreement
between the communicating parties.
The Body is a container for mandatory information intended for the
ultimate recipient of the message.
Call to an Action
Calls to actions are read-only in the calling test. They can only be
modified in the test in which they were created.
Enables you to use the same action in several tests and makes it easy
to maintain tests.
Can make calls to only Reusable actions.
Integration of Winrunner,
QTP &
Test Director
Why Integrate QTP ?
With Win Runner
Facilitates running Win Runner tests and call TSL functions in

compiled modules with parameters by creating calls to Win Runner
tests and functions.
With Test Director (TD)
TD, Mercury Interactive test management tool, can help you organize
and control the testing process. It provides an intuitive and efficient
method for scheduling and running tests, collecting test results,
analyzing the results, and managing test versions.
QTP & WinRunner
QTP can easily be integrated with Win Runner, Test Director and
Load Runner.
If the Winrunner is already installed and being used, then QTP can
be added without the loss of Winrunner scripts.
Quick Test Pro will be able to call Win Runner Scripts.
A single test can contain both Winrunner & QTP scripts.
Advantages of QTP over other

Functional Automation tools
Easy to use, icon based scripts. Easier for non technical testers to
learn.
Usage of VBScript language for scripting which is very powerful ,has

lots of capabilities and can program even complex functionalities with
ease.
The active screen technology allows the person writing script to pick-up
values that may have been left out during recording. This helps to
reduce re-work for scripting.
Advantages of QTP over other

Functional Automation tools
Supports .Net, XML and other modern Environments.
Test Run Iterations/Data driven testing is much easier and better

implemented with QTP. Capturing output values add data driven
testing more kick and flexibility.
Can create and implement the Microsoft Object Model (Outlook objects,
ADO objects, FileSystem objects, supports DOM, WSH, etc.).
Provides ability to trap exceptions and handle them using inbuilt
functions or user defined ones.
