What is Automation-

 Test Automation is the use of software to control the execution of

tests & the comparison of results- actual with the
predicted/expected.

 A software program that is used to test another software program,

this is referred to as Automated software testing.

 A third party tool is used to test the application.

 Use of automation tools reduces the test time as well as the cost.

Why Automation-

. Avoid the errors that human make when they get

tired after multiple repetitions.
. The test program wont skip any test by mistakes.
. Each feature test cycle will take less time & Required
less
human intervention.
. Required for Easy cycle of Regression Testing.

Benefits of Test Automation-

. Allows more testing to be done

. Strengthen Test Cycle
. Testing is Consistent, repeatable
. Useful when new patches released
. Makes configuration testing easier
. Test battery can be continuously improved

False Benefits-

. Fewer tests will be needed

. It will be easier if it is automated
. Compensate for poor design
. No more Manual Testing

 What is the diff. between WR & QTP-

QTP Win Runner 7.0

Developed by MI Now HP Developed by MI

Functionality testing on windows & web based Functionality testing on windows based application
applications
It Supports .NET Technology Does not support .NET Technology
Scripting language is VB-Script Scripting language is TSL
Active Screen Available in QTP Not Available
QTP has data table to store script values Not available

QTP supports Multimedia, Main Frames, XML, J2EE It won’t support

It supports ERP such as SAP, Siebel 7.0, people Soft 8.8 But WR supports Siebel 6.0, people soft 6.0

. Developed for web functionality
.QTP supports both web applications & windows applications
. QTP Developed in 2002
. Test Script developed on VB Script
. QTP supports Languages is
.NET. J2EE, Main Frame, XML,Java
ERP -> SAP, Seibel, People soft
. QTP Supports both Technical & Non Technical People
. QTP run on only windows platform not supporting UNIX, Linux etc

Object Repository-

Object Repository is nothing but a storage location. It contains the

collection logical name and physical description of a particular object.

Logical Name: For Naming Convention

Physical Description : is Nothing but expected physical properties
Two types of Object Repositories are available in QTP-

1) Per Action (.mtr)

2) Shared Object Repository (.tsr)

Object Spy-
Object spy is used to display or view all the physical properties and methods of an object or a
window based on the requirement.

Example: If window(“Login”). Exists Then

Msgbox(“Pass”)
else
Msgbox(“Fail”)
End If

Virtual Object-

Virtual Object is used to identify the properties of similar

objects in a particular Area.
Example: In normal recording if we select the paint brush
window, the script will look like this-
window(“Paint”).Activate
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Click 72,16
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Click 80,14
window(“Paint”).Close
If we are using Virtual object, the script will look like this-
window(“Paint”).Activate
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Virtual Button(“RED”)
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Virtual Button(“BLUE”)
window(“Paint”).Close

Check Points-

Check Point is a verification point that compares the current value of the
specified property with the expected value for that property.
There are 9 types of check points are available in QTP.
They are-
1) Standard Check Point
2) Text/ Text Area Check Point
3) Bitmap Check point
4) Database Check Point
5) Table Check Point
6) Page Check Point
7) XML Check Point
8) Image Check Point

Actions-

Action is nothing but a logical portion to entire script

file based on the requirement. Each and every action
should have meaningful result.
Types of Actions:
1) Regular (By default)
2) Reusable
3) External
How to work with Actions:
1) Call to copy of Action
2) Call to Existing Action

Data Driven Test-

Testing the same application with multiple sets of data.

How to use parameterization:
Ex:
Before parameterization
Dialog(“Login”).Activate
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“name”).Set ”Axis”
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Password).SetSecure”axisitt”
Dialog”Login”.Close
After Parameterization
Dialog(“Login”).Activate
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Login name”).Set DataTable(”name”, dtglobalsheet)
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Password). (”password”, dtglobalsheet)
Dialog”Login”.Close

Exception Handling-

It enables Quick test to detect and handle when unexpected

error occurred during execution time.

Types of Exception Handling:

1) Popup Exception Handling

2) Object State Exception Handling

3) Test Run Exception Handling

4) Application Crash

 Object Identification-

By using object identification we can map “customer user

defined object” to “standard Class”.

Two types of properties are their in object Identification:

1) Mandatory Properties
2) Assistive properties

Wednesday, Decemb Sreelesh Kunnath 39

er 8, 2021
Ordinal Identifier-

By using ordinal identifier options quick test able to

identify an
object under ordinal identifier.

Three Components are available in ordinal identifier

1) Index
2) Location
3) Creation time

Wednesday, Decemb Sreelesh Kunnath 40

er 8, 2021
 Smart Identification-

Quick test unable to identify the object, it is change

randomly. To identify such object we need to use Smart
Identification.

Two properties are available in Smart identification

They are-
1) Base Filter Properties
2) Optional Filter Properties

Synchronization Point-

Synchronization point maintains the time coordination

between testing process and your application process.

There are 4 types of synchronization points:

1) Sync
2) Wait, wait(5) or wait 5
3) Wait Property
4) Exist

QTP Test Run Modes-

In QTP, we have 2 types of run modes-

1) Normal

2) Fast

Wednesday, Decemb Sreelesh Kunnath 43

Regular Expressions-

It enables quick test to identify test string with varying value

(varying means changing)

Regular Expressions can be used in the following areas:

1) Check Points

2) In parameterization

3) Data Driven test

4) Actions

5) Exception Handling….etc

er 8, 2021
 Some Regular Expressions-

Expression Char Description

Period . Matches any single character
Asterisk * Matches zero to any number of occurrences of
the preceding character

Plus + Matches one to any number of occurrences of the

preceding character

Brackets [A-Z][a-z] Matches a range of characters

[0-9] Matches a range of numbers
\w Matches any alphanumeric character including
underscore

\W Matches any non-alphanumeric character

Digit \d Matches any digit

\d{4} Matches exactly four digits

Descriptive Programming-

Without using the object repository test engineer can

develop automation test in this particular accept, we need
to use a technique called as descriptive programming.

Script:

Dialog(“test:=Login”).Activate
Dialog(“text;=Login”).wineidt(“attached text:= Login name”). Set “Axisitt”
Dialog(“text:=Login”).wineidt(“attached text:= Password”). Set “88888” .
Dialog(“text:=Login”).Close

it is a special type of variable which is use to expose the data

related to environment.
