TESTING TOOLS

Quick Test Professional

1
 QTP Testing Process
 It Consists of Seven main phases.
Preparing to record
Recording a session on your application
Enhancing your test
Debugging your test
Running your test
Analyzing the test results
Reporting the Defects.

2
 Test Pane
 Test pane is used to view the recorded script
or to write a new script for an object. There
are two types of views in test pane. They
are:
1. Key word view: In this view you can select
the object from object repository and can insert
an method to it.
2. Expert view: In this view you can write the
code directly.

3
 Other components present in this pane are:
1. Data Table: There are 2 types of sheets.
○ i. Global Sheet: This enables you to share
information from one action to another action.
○ Ii. Action Sheet: Each action has its own sheet in
the data table. So that you can insert data that
applies to only that action.
2. Active Screen: The Active screen provides a
snapshot of your application, as it appeared when
you performed a certain step while recording your
test. This enables you to easily parameterize
object values and insert checkpoints, methods
and output values for any object in the page

 Object Repository
 When we want to write scripting on any
window then we have to learn the window
before starting scripting in order to recognize
each and every object present in the
application by the tool.
 It is used to learn all the objects properties in
a window or a single object’s properties of a
window.

 GUI Spy
 GUI Spy is used when ever the user want to
know the properties of an object.

 It will display the entire information of the

object which we are specifying or selecting.

 Navigation
Start Quick Test Professional Quick Test
Professional Tools GUI Spy.

6
 Run Modes
 After completion of scripting for an object we
need to run it for result. So according to it
there are 2 types of run modes according to
their functionality. They are:
1. Debug: For displaying the results temporarily
and it is used for checking the running of the
script.
2. Verify: For displaying and to store the result in
a specified path and the results can be viewed at
any time.

7
 Recording Modes
 Recording modes are used to record the
movements of the mouse, keyboard
insertions and selection of objects in the
window. According to its functionalities these
are divided in to three types. They are:
1. Normal Recording
2. Analog Recording
3. Low Level Recording

8
 Recording Modes
 Normal Recording
To record the objects in your application and the
operations performed on them. By default the recording
mode will be Normal Recording mode.
 Analog Recording
To record the every movement of the mouse. It is used
signatures and drawing purpose.
 Low-Level Recording
Low-Level is used for recording on environments or
objects not supported by quick test and it is used when
you need to record the exact location of the object on
your application screen
9
 Check Points
 A checkpoint is a verification point that compares a
current value for a specified property with the
expected value for that property.
 There are 7 types of check points. They are:
1. Standard Check Point.
2. Text Check Point.
3. Text Area Check Point.
4. Bitmap Check Point.
5. Database Check Point.
6. Accessibility Check Point.
7. XML Check Point.

17
 Out Put Values
 An output value is a step in which one or
more values are captured at a specific point
in your test or component and stored for the
duration of the run session. The values can
later be used as input at a different point in
the run session.
 Navigation:
Quick Test Professional Click on Insert tab
Select Output values.

18
 Out Put Values
 There are 7 types of output values according
to their functionalities. They are:

operation box list, which displays the functions
available for the selected function type in
alphabetical order.

 Data Driven Test
 Data driven test is used to assign a bunch of
data for an object to run continuously up to
the end of data.

 Procedure to follow is:

1. Parameterize the values
2. Local and Global Data Tables

27
 1. Parameterizing the values
 Record ON.
 Perform the complete operation for what you
need to do data driven test.
 Stop recording.
 Block the value which you need to
parameterize.
 Tools Data Driver…Click on
parameterize… Click on Next Click on
Next Click on Finish Click on OK.

28
 2. Local and Global Data Tables
 Local and Global Data Tables are used
to store or enter data into them.

 After completion of parameterization a

column will be displayed with the
parameterized value. So enter some
more data which has to be tested.
