set newtxt=xm.CreateTextNode(s)

newele.appendChild(newtxt)

set e=xm.DocumentElement

e.appendChild(newele)

set e=e.lastChild

Next

xm.save "e:\book.xml"

=============================================

''''''''''''Read data from xml file

Registeruserfunc

Register user function to TestObject

TestObjects are the objects in the Repository and these Objects are used in the Test ( Script),,, see any

object in the repository are under TestObject Structure

Learn the step by step procedure how to Register user created function to any test object and when

writing the Script our Created function is also displayed in the Intellisence

1. Open Notepad

2. Write the Required Function

3. Write statement to Register the userfunction to the required testobject

4. Save the file as Filename.vbs

=========================

For the above 4 steps in notepad (sample function fn_sample is Defined and registered as below)

In Notepad

public Function fn_sample

msgbox "Hello"

End Function

Registeruserfunc "WinButton","myfunc","fn_sample"

Save it as function libary ( filename.vbs)

In the above code fn_sample is registered for WinButton and in the script in Intellisence "myfunc" is

displayed

===========================

5. After saving the file,,, associate the library to the QTP Test

File menu---Settings---Resource----Associate function library (and select the above created library and

associate)

6. In the Test ( add any WinButton from application into Repository)

for example Add (OK,Cancel buttons in Flight application "Login" dialogbox)

7. Write script

Dialog("Login").winButton("OK").myfunc

Reg QTP 10 and Firefox 3.6 browser

Hi ,,

some of the students are trying to run the scripts on firefox browser and facing problems,,, Like working

with IE you cannot directly work with Firfox browser,,,, the below patch need to be downloaded and

installed in you system

and for complete list of environments supported by QTP is available in QTP Readme file.

Note: To enable QuickTest to run tests in Firefox 3.6 on a machine with UAC enabled, you need to start

QuickTest

once using "Run as administrator" after installing the patch and Firefox 3.6.

Calling DLLs in QTP

DLL--Dynamic Link Library

It has basically programs, these can be called from any application, by creating instance for the dll /

reference to the DLL.

The DLLs can be developed in c,c++,java,.net...etc

Usually all the dlls related to Windows OS are available in C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder and we can

refer MSDN help to know the system DLLs and the functions available in these DLLs

User created dlls are also should be copied into this folder and should be registered before using.

To register usercreated dlls regsvr32 can be used.

To call the methods or properties in the DLL

1. using DotnetFactory

''below is the syntax to refer DLL and call the methods

Dim myobj

Set myobj=DOTNetFactory.CreateInstance("namespace.class", "path of the dll")

myobj.method ''to call the method

myobj.property '' to access the property

2. Using Extern Object

' The below script will check Notepadwindow is available or not

'Here we are using user32.dll

Extern.Declare micHwnd,"FindWindow","user32.dll","FindWindow", micString, micString

hwnd = Extern.FindWindow("Notepad", vbNullString)

if hwnd = 0 then

MsgBox "Notepad window not found"

else

MsgBox "Notepad window found"

end if

DotNetFactory Introduction---1

DotNetFactory

This utility object is available from QTP 9.2 onwards and all the versions after 9.2,

This utility object you can see in Insert menu--->Step Generator---->utility object Category---->Select in

Object List

This Object Provides QTP scripting to access methods and properties of a .NET object by creating an

instance for this object.

Syntax :

Dim d

set d=CreateInstance(Typename,assembly,parameters)

Typename : name of the object

assembly (optional): if it is already preloaded assembly then no need to specify else we have to specify

the assembly ie. the DLL which has the typename

parameters: specify the parameters if typename has any input parameters.

Note : Refer in msdn.microsoft.com for all the System Namespace and its classess, .Net Class Library

list,,, below is the link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d11h6832(v=VS.71).aspx.....

Few Examples :

Example 1:

' Display our own message Created from System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox --Typename ,, which

belong to System.Windows.Forms Assembly

Dim msg

Set msg = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox",

"System.Windows.Forms")

msg.show "This is Venkat","Sample"

--------------------------------------------------

Example :2

'Display our own window /Form

Dim frm1

Set frm1 = DotNetFactory.CreateInstance("System.Windows.Forms.Form", "System.Windows.Forms")

frm1.Text = "Venkat"

frm1.Maximizebox = True

frm1.Minimizebox = True

frm1.Width = 500

frm1.Height =200

frm1.Location.X = 50

frm1.Location.Y = 200

frm1.Show

Spy Web Objects

Alternative Spy For Web Applications instead of QTP Object Spy

IE Developer ToolBar ( for IE)

DOM Inspector (for IE)

FireBug (for Firefox)

Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar (sometimes shortened to IE Developer Toolbar or even IE DevBar),

is an add-on for Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 that aims to aid in design and debugging of

web pages. It allows validating of CSS and HTML, previewing page layout at various resolutions, and also

offers a ruler (measuring in pixels) to aid in positioning the elements. It allows viewing the source of the

entire page, color coded for ease of navigation, or selected elements of it, as well as view the DOM

source and the CSS selectors that are applied to the element. It also enables viewing the properties and

styles of individual elements and also trace styles of elements to its declaration.

The toolbar includes a toggleable pane at the bottom of the window . The pane shows the structure of

the web page; and for each structure, the properties and styles. It exposes its features through a menu

hierarchy, and also includes toolbar buttons for quick access to features like clearing the browser cache

and enable selecting elements by clicking in the rendered page, rather than navigating through the

visual representation of the DOM tree

Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the

Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories:

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS),

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

The name cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet

in flowcharts and diagrams.

A cloud service has three distinct characteristics that differentiate it from traditional hosting. It is sold on

demand, typically by the minute or the hour; it is elastic -- a user can have as much or as little of a

service as they want at any given time; and the service is fully managed by the provider (the consumer

needs nothing but a personal computer and Internet access). Significant innovations in virtualization and

distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed Internet and a weak economy, have

accelerated interest in cloud computing.

A cloud can be private or public. A public cloud sells services to anyone on the Internet. (Currently,

Amazon Web Services is the largest public cloud provider.) A private cloud is a proprietary network or a

data center that supplies hosted services to a limited number of people. When a service provider uses

public cloud resources to create their private cloud, the result is called a virtual private cloud. Private or

public, the goal of cloud computing is to provide easy, scalable access to computing resources and IT

services.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service like Amazon Web Services provides virtual server instances with unique IP

addresses and blocks of storage on demand. Customers use the provider's application program interface

(API) to start, stop, access and configure their virtual servers and storage. In the enterprise, cloud

computing allows a company to pay for only as much capacity as is needed, and bring more online as

soon as required. Because this pay-for-what-you-use model resembles the way electricity, fuel and

water are consumed, it's sometimes referred to as utility computing.

Platform-as-a-service in the cloud is defined as a set of software and product development tools hosted

on the provider's infrastructure. Developers create applications on the provider's platform over the

Internet. PaaS providers may use APIs, website portals or gateway software installed on the customer's

computer. Force.com, (an outgrowth of Salesforce.com) and GoogleApps are examples of PaaS.

Developers need to know that currently, there are not standards for interoperability or data portability

in the cloud. Some providers will not allow software created by their customers to be moved off the

provider's platform.

In the software-as-a-service cloud model, the vendor supplies the hardware infrastructure, the software

product and interacts with the user through a front-end portal. SaaS is a very broad market. Services can

be anything from Web-based email to inventory control and database processing. Because the service

provider hosts both the application and the data, the end user is free to use the service from anywhere.

Decision Table

Decision Table show sets of conditions and the actions resulting from them when the logic can be easily

expressed in a table format

Developing Decision Tables

In order to build decision tables, you need to determine the maximum size of the table, eliminate any

impossible situations, inconsistencies, or redundancies, and simplify the table as much as possible. The

following steps provide offer some guidelines to developing decision tables:

1. Determine the number of conditions that may affect the decision. Combine rows that overlap, for

example, conditions that are mutually exclusive. The number of conditions becomes the number of rows

in the top half of the decision table.

2. Determine the number of possible actions that can be taken. This becomes the number of rows in the

lower half of the decision table.

3. Determine the number of condition alternatives for each condition. In the simplest form of decision

table, there would be two alternatives (Y or N) for each condition. In an extended-entry table, there may

be many alternatives for each condition.

4. Calculate the maximum number of columns in the decision table by multiplying the number of

alternatives for each condition.

Conv WR Script to QTP

WinQuick

WinQuick is a comprehensive HP WinRunner to QuickTest Pro migration platform that converts over

90% of the WinRunner code to QTP automatically. It is the fastest, most comprehensive and cost

effective technology to re-architect and migrate WinRunner based code and artifacts to QTP.

WinQuick is the only HP validated solution with proven customer track record.

WinQuick is HP PSOs recommended tool/service offering for WR to QTP migration.

Read More..http://www.win-quick.com/faq.html

QTPGenie

QTPGenie combined with Sierra Atlantics offshore services provide a 100% migration solution.

WinRunner scripts fed to QTPGenie are scanned and analyzed thoroughly to produce the most accurate

corresponding QTP output. In spite of the significant differences between WinRunner and QTP, the

logical test flow is preserved.

ReadMore:

http://www.sierraatlantic.com/downloads/products/Sierra_Atlantic_QTPGenie_Datasheet.pdf

WR2QTP

There are two approaches that one can take for migration:

1. Perform the conversion manually: This is a costly and error-prone process as the logic of each TSL

script has to be understood, the object map manually recorded and then the QTP scripts constructed.

This approach works only if the code base is small.

2. Build a language translator that automatically converts WinRunners GUI-map files and scripts to

QTPs object map files and scripts. Two companies have already built such translators in the past,

however, both these translators (Win-Quick and QTP Genie) convert only around 80% of the code. Rest

of the conversion has to be

done manually. This manual conversion step requires understanding the script code in order to correct

it. Significant investment of time is needed. One could argue that a translation-based approach that is

not nearly 100% automatic is no better than the manual approach.

INTEROPERATES DISRUPTIVE WR2QTP TRANSLATOR

Interoperate has recently developed a translator that converts WinRunner scripts to QTP with nearly

100% automation. Interoperates translator relies on a path-breaking Technology based on formal

semantics and rule-based languages that allows translators for the most complex languages to be

constructed in a few months as opposed to a few years.

using the new Keywords pane in the application area of QuickTest Professional.

NEW!! You can associate a function library with the open test by opening the function library

and choosing File > Associate Library 'library_name' with 'test_name'.

NEW!! You can check syntax errors by clicking CTRL + F7. If your script contains errors you can

view them in the new Information pane.

The Select Object for Step dialog box enables you to select a new object from your application. If

you select an object in your application that is not in the object repository, the object is added

to the object repository when you insert the new step.

You can select an object in the object repository and locate it quickly in your application using

the Highlight button in the ORM or ORE.

NEW!! You can locate an object in the object repository by pointing to an object in your

application. If the object exists in the object repository, it is highlighted.

NEW!! You can now add new objects to the object repository using filtering capabilities. For

example, you can choose to add only a selected type of object residing in a window or a web

page/frame.

NEW!! You can now associate multiple object repositories with an action or application area. In

previous versions of QuickTest Professional, you could associate only a single object repository

with a test asset.

NEW!! You can export object repository content to an XML file and import a new object

repository from an XML file.

The list of Utility objects available when you open the Step Generator from the Keyword View is

a sub-group of the list available when you open the Step Generator from the Expert View.

Open XML format used for report information now enables you to easily customize run reports

and integrate result information with other applications. Refer to the QuickTest online

documentation for a detailed description of the report's XML elements.

You can export test results to an HTML file to easily view the test results when you are not

working in a QuickTest environment.

You can write automation scripts to control virtually every QuickTest feature and capability

using the objects, methods, and properties included in the QuickTest Professional automation

object model.

Test object and method names are not case sensitive.

When you type VBScript keywords in the Expert View, the relevant VBScript syntax or blocks are

added to the test script.

the required location.

NEW!! To auto-hide all the tabbed panes, select the title bar of the active tabbed pane, right-

click and choose Auto Hide.

NEW!! When you rename a test object, you can choose whether to automatically update all

occurrences of the test object, or manually change the names in steps that use the renamed test

objects.

NEW!! You can copy objects from a shared object repository to the local object repository in

order to modify them.

NEW!! You can use the Object Repository Merge Tool to merge objects from two shared object

repositories into a single object repository.

NEW!! You can associate shared object repositories with multiple actions simultaneously, using

the Associate Repositories dialog box.

NEW!! You can resolve missing resources (such as missing object repositories and actions), using

the new Missing Resources pane.

You can use the Advanced Windows Applications Options dialog box to modify how QuickTest

records and runs tests on Windows applications. Choose Tools > Options > Windows

Applications tab > Advanced.

You can save the resulting data from the run-time Data Table to a file by inserting a

DataTable.Export statement to the end of your test.

To instruct QuickTest to wait for an object to open or appear during test run, use an Exist or

Wait statement.

To stop an analog step in the middle of a test run, click Ctrl + Esc, and then click the Stop toolbar

button.

If you want to create a bitmap checkpoint of multiple objects, select the object in the Object

Selection dialog box that includes all the objects you want your bitmap checkpoint to contain.

If you need to recover Active Screen files after you save a test without Active Screen files, re-

record the necessary steps or use the Update Run option to recapture screens for all steps in

your test.

You can use a PathFinder.Locate statement in your test to retrieve the complete path that

QuickTest uses for a specified relative path based on the folders specified in the Folders tab.

To maximize performance, load only the add-ins you need.

You can define a recovery scenario to handle unexpected behavior during your run session.

You can add new objects to the Object Repository from the Active Screen or using the Add

Objects option in the Object Repository dialog box and pointing to the object in your

application.

To record keyboard input, mouse clicks, and the exact path the mouse travels, switch to Analog

Recording mode or Low Level Recording mode.

If it takes time for an object you are checking to load all of its data, you can increase the

checkpoint timeout.

You can insert XML output values to your script.

You can verify that your XML is structured according to a specific schema.

and so forth) in QuickTest Professional and associate them with your test or application area.

You can then call these functions (or other elements) from within your test assets.

NEW!! You can debug functions, subroutines and classes defined in a function library file in

QuickTest Professional.

You can create a user-defined function and register it as a test object method in order to

overwrite or add to existing test object functionality.

You can use the Reporter object to disable or enable messages to the Test Results.

You can record a test on one version of Microsoft Internet Explorer and then run it on other

browsers or versions.

To transfer control to the application while spying or inserting checkpoints on objects, press the

CTRL key.

You can check the content of an image in a Web page when you create an image checkpoint

using the Compare Image Content option.

You can use the Data Table to run the test several times, each time using different data.

By default, in order to conserve disk space, QuickTest does not save screen captures with your

test results for steps that pass. You can change the default setting in the Tools > Options > Run

tab.

The Active Screen loads faster if you clear the Load Images check box in the Web Page

Appearance dialog box (Tools > Options > Active Screen tab > Advanced button).

You can teach QuickTest to recognize any area of your application as an object by defining it as a

virtual object.

From QuickTest, you can run WinRunner tests and call TSL functions in compiled modules. The

results of the WinRunner test or function are integrated into the QuickTest test results.

To modify the text used for a text checkpoint, click the Configure button in the Text Checkpoint

Properties dialog box.

You can configure an action for repeated use in your test and in other tests. Select the Reusable

Action check box in the Action Properties dialog box (Edit > Action > Action Properties).

You can use the ExitAction statement to terminate an action before it finishes running, based on

conditions you specify in your test.

You can set breakpoints in your test, and then use the Debug Viewer pane to view, set, or

modify the current value of objects or variables.

You can call methods and retrieve and set COM object properties from the Expert View using

the .Object property.

can choose to update checkpoint data, Active Screen images, and/or the descriptions of the

objects in the object repository. Choose Automation > Update Run Mode.

If you want to add the same comment to every action that you create, you can add the

comment to an action template.

You can define test or action parameter variables using the Parameter object and its methods in

the Expert View.

You can create test, action, or component parameter output values that retrieve values during

the run session and store them for use at another point in the run session. You can then use

these output values to parameterize a step in your test or business component.

NEW!! You can create object repository parameters. When associating an object repository to a

test asset, you map this parameter to a constant or a test asset parameter (test, action, or

business component).

In addition to Data Table output values, you can output values to environment variables or store

a retrieved value in a test, action, or component parameter.

You can use the Data Driver Wizard to automatically parameterize constants in your action or

business component.

You can set a parameter to use a random numeric value.

You can specify test, action, or component parameters to pass values to and from your test or

business component, and between actions in your test.

Keyword view tips

The Operation item appears in the Keyword View only when functions are defined in function

library files associated with the components application area.

When adding a new step using the Keyword View or Step Generator, you can select a new

object from your application and it is automatically added to your object repository.

You can specify which columns you want to display in the Keyword View. Choose Tools > View

Options or right-click any column header in the Keyword View.

You can specify the order in which columns are displayed in the Keyword View. Choose Tools >

View Options or drag a column header to a new location in the Keyword View.

You can print the contents of the Keyword View to your Windows default printer, or preview it

on screen before printing. Click the Print button or choose File > Print.

You can copy and paste or drag and drop steps in order to move them to a different location

within the Keyword View.

You can enter a comment about a step in the Keyword View by clicking in the Comment cell. You

can also enter a comment on a new line below the currently selected step by choosing Insert >

Comment.

You can view the Documentation column in the Keyword View to read a summary of what the

step does, in an easy-to-understand sentence.

The Function Definition Generator enables you to add documentation that specifies exactly

what a step using your function does. This description is shown in the Documentation column of

the Keyword View for steps that use the function.

NEW!! You can copy the content of the Documentation column to the Clipboard by right-clicking

any column header in the Keyword View and choosing Copy Documentation to Clipboard.

You can print a single action or business component from the Keyword View (in table format) or

from the Expert View (in statement format).

You can create a custom report message from the Keyword View by choosing Insert > Report.

Tips When connected with QC

You can create multiple application areas to suit different components.

NEW!! Business components associated with an application area use only the resources and

settings that are defined in the application area. In previous versions of QuickTest Professional,

business components could have custom settings.

Iterations for a business component are defined in Quality Center.

If you are connected to Quality Center, you can view the current Quality Center connection by

pointing to the Quality Center icon in the status bar. To open the Quality Center Connection

dialog box, double-click the Quality Center icon.

If a Quality Center test or shared file (such as a shared object repository or Data Table file) is

open when you disconnect from Quality Center, then QuickTest closes it.

To access QuickTest tests or components from Quality Center, select the 'Allow other Mercury

products to run tests and components' check box (Tools > Options) and install the QuickTest

Add-in for Quality Center (from the QuickTest Professional CD-ROM).

NEW!! If a business component is currently open, clicking the New toolbar button creates a new

business component document (and not a new test document). This also applies if an

application area or function library is open.

NEW!! You can open a recently used business component, application area, or function library

by selecting it from the Recent Files list in the File menu.

You can run QuickTest tests from a Quality Center project and pass parameter values to the test.

You can choose a Web server accessible via a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network

(WAN) when connecting to Quality Center. Click the Quality Center Connection button or choose

File > Quality Center Connection.

The Open Test from Quality Center Project dialog box displays icons that indicate the version

control status of each test in your project.

Diff b/w QTP 9.2, 9.5, 10.00

Differences between QTP 9.2, QTP 9.5 and QTP 10.00

Hi,

Below are the differences you can tell between the QTP versions; those who are putting up QTP

experience; in the project point of you it is suggested to put QTP 9.2 / 9.5 but you can mention in the

Skill set that QTP 10.00 you have knowledge

Note: All the new Features of QTP 9.5 are available in QTP 10.00 and QTP 10.00 has new features

compared to QTP 9.5

New Features of QTP 9.5 which are not in QTP 9.2

Maintenance Run Mode :

Repair the object properties in the Repository if the properties are changed in the application in new

build.

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 doesnt seem to add much utility.

Test Flow Pane

Display the list of Actions in the Test and the sequence they are executed

Available Keywords Pane

All Test Objects and functions in are displayed.Rapid test development with drag & drop of objects,

functions into expert view. And Object repository now also supports drag & drop

Resources Pane :

All resources associated with the test. You can see all your library file in this pane

Missing Resources Pane

Display the List of resources associated to the test but not available in the location during runtime

Relative Path Helper

Improved Bitmap Checkpoint

Bitmpap Checkpoint has Tollerence values for pixels and color

Web Extensibility :

1.Anyone can add support for new web controls

2.Rapid development in JavaScript

3.Solid infrastructure supplied by the Web add-in

4.Extensibility objects are first class citizens

5.Built-in toolkit: ASPAjax

Tabbed browsing :

Tabs identified as separate browsers.Same test compatible with tabbed and non tabbed browsers.

New Technologies :

1.PowerBuilder

2. Delphi

3. Oracle Forms 10 Apps 12

4.StingRay Objective Grid 10, 114. PeopleSoft 9.0

5.New Terminal Emulator versions

6.NET 3.5 (beta)

New environments :

1.Windows Vista 64 bit

2. Eclipse 3.2, 3.3

3.Record on SWT

4. Firefox 3.0

5.Netscape 9

New Features of QTP 10.00

1. Centrally Manage and Share Testing Assets, Dependencies, and Versions in Quality Center 10.00

In the earlier version of QC, the Test Assets like ( Repository, Library, Recoveries ) are placed in the

Attachments and if these assets are associated to the Test there is no dependencies information.

In QC 10.00 there is a new Section called Test Resources in the section we can place all the Assets and

associate these to the Test Script. The QC tool maintains the dependencies information between the

Assets and Test Script.

It also provides build in Version control; when the Test case/ scripts ...etc is checkout and checkin into

QC it will maintain a new version which is similar concept in VSS.

2. Perform Single-User Local System Monitoring While Running Your Tests

we can observe the performance of the local system when the script is executed. Like usage of memory,

GDI objects, Thread counters.

Navigation: To select the Local System Motitoring

File menu-->Settings--> Local System Monitoring

Select the Enable Local System Monitoring every seconds

Select the Application name

Select the counter and Limit size

After the Test Run, the status is shown in the Test Results

3. Improve Portability by Saving Copies of Tests Together with Their Resource Files

When we save the test from QC into local system ; all the associated assets like Object Repositories,

Function Libraries, Recovery Scenarios are also copied to the local system and we can run the script

from local system with out any change in the assoication assets path / with out any changes.

Steps :

Open the Test in QTP which is in the QC

File menu select Save Test with Resources

Following type of details are displayed

select the location in local system to save the file and save

4. Call Actions Dynamically During the Test Run

we can dynamically load and run actions instead of Call to Existing action and associating the reusable

Actions. These action is loaded into memory and run only when the statement is executed and not

during the Test / Action open.

Syntax: Loadandrunaction Path of QTP test,Actioname

5. Develop Your Own Bitmap Checkpoint Comparison Algorithm

6. Centrally Manage Your Work Items and ToDo Tasks in the To Do Pane

we can make a note of all the tasks to be perfomed in the TODO Pane

View menu--> To Do List

7. Improve Test Results Analysis with New Reporting Functionality

A. Export Results Report

The results can be exported to DOC, PDF files also apart from HTML.

In the Results window ; File menu--> Export Report

B. Reporter.ReportEvent

During the script execution for any failed steps we can capture the bitmap and display it in the results

window along with Reporter.ReportEvent method

Example:

If condition is falied then

Window(Flight Reservation).CaptureBitmap b1.bmp

Reporter.ReportEvent 1,Error,The error message in the window,b1.bmp

End if

C. Jumping to a Step in QuickTest

We can view the step in QuickTest that corresponds to a node in the run results tree.

To view the step in the test that corresponds to a node:

Select a node in the run results tree.

Perform one of the following:

Click the Jump to Step in QuickTest button from the Run Results toolbar.

Right-click and select Jump to Step in QuickTest from the context-sensitive menu.

Select View > Jump to Step in QuickTest.

The QuickTest window is activated and the step is highlighted.

8. Test Standard and Custom Delphi Objects Using the Delphi Add-in and Delphi Add-in Extensibility

We can use the QuickTest Professional Delphi Add-in to test objects in Delphi applications. We can

create and run tests and components on these objects, as well as check their properties. We create and

run tests and components on Delphi applications in much the same way as you do for other Windows-

based applications.

The Delphi Add-in provides test objects, methods, and properties that can be used when testing objects

in Delphi applications

Product Enhancements

1.Upgrade from QuickTest 9.5

If QuickTest 9.5 is installed on the computer, we can choose to upgrade to QuickTest version 10.00. This

enables us to continue using many of the configurations and options we have already set in QuickTest

9.5. We can also use an msi silent installation command line to upgrade from QuickTest 9.5.

2.Improved IntelliSense Functionality

QuickTest now provides full IntelliSense for the following types of objects:

Objects created by a step or function (for example, by calling the CreateObject method)

Variables to which an object is assigned

Reserved objects

COM objects

3.Added Control for Editing and Managing Actions in Automation Scripts

The QuickTest Professional Automation Object Model has a new set of objects and methods for

manipulating test actions and action parameters. We can now use automation scripts to create new

actions, modify and validate the syntax of action scripts, create and modify action parameters, and

more.

4.Improved Debugger Pane Design and Functionality

The Debug Viewer pane has a new look, including icons to help us identify the type of information

displayed.

The Watch tab and Variable tab now display the types of expressions or variables, in addition to their

names and values.

The Command tab now displays the command history (in read-only format) in addition to the command

line, enabling us to view previously-run commands and select commands to reuse.

In addition, a right-click context menu in the Command tab enables us to:

copy from the command history and edit the command line using the clipboard.

clear the command history.

5.New Object Identification Solutions in Maintenance Run Mode

In addition to helping us update the steps and object repositories when objects in the application

change, the Maintenance Run Wizard can now help to solve the following problems:

The step failed because the object in the test is missing from the action's associated object repositories.

The object in the step exists in the application, but can be identified only through Smart Identification.

6.Additional Configuration Settings for Text Recognition Mechanism

We can now set all text recognition configuration settings from the QuickTest Options Dialog Box (Tools

> Options > General > Text Recognition), including new options for selecting the text block mode and

specifying the languages to be used with the OCR mechanism. This makes it easier to make any

necessary adjustments and to optimize the way that QuickTest identifies text in the application.

7.New Look for Options, Settings, and File Dialog Boxes

8.QuickTest Toolbar Customization Options

We can use the new Customize Dialog box (Tools > Customize) to customize the appearance of existing

menus and toolbars, and to create our own user-defined menus, toolbar buttons, and shortcuts.

We can also add new commands to the QuickTest Tools menu so that we can launch an application

directly from the menu. For example, we can use this option to create a shortcut to the application we

want to test or to an automation script.

9.Improved Web Extensibility

10. .NET Add-in and Extensibility Improvements

11.New Terminal Emulator Configuration Validation

QTP best Practises

QTP Best Practices

Just record-and-playback is never the solution for any project.

Launch QTP using a .vbs file and not the QTP desktop icon. You will notice a substantial increase

in speed.

For large tests, always define variables; function in an external .vbs file and not inside a reusable

action. Attach these files with your test scripts.

If you define a variable or a function in an action, on every iteration of your test run, memory

(RAM) will be allocated to those variables/functions and would not be released. Now as your

script starts consuming more and more RAM, your System Under Test (SUT) will tend to become

slower.

While running, QTP consumes a lot of memory by itself. It is always advisable to have lots of

available RAM (much more than what is recommended by HP) and good processor speed on a

system where you intend to install QTP.

When you have tests (and hence QTP) running for a prolonged period if time, there are chances

of memory leaks. To avoid memory leakages always restart QTP at some intervals of time. Using

AOM you can automate this process. [If you want to go into details of effect of RAM on speed of

computer read the post on RAM, Memory Usage thoroughly]

Avoid using hard coded wait(x) statement. Wait statement waits for full x seconds, even if the

event has already occurred. Instead use .sync or exist statement. While using exists statement

always has a value inside it.

For ex: .Exist(10) Here QTP will wait max till 10 seconds and if it finds the object at (say) 3 secs ,

it will resume the execution immediately thereby saving your precious time. On the other hand

if you leave the parenthesis blank, QTP would wait for object synchronization timeout you have

mentioned under File > Test Settings > Run Tab.

Make full use of what HP-QTP has provided you in the tool IDE. Use Automatically Generate

With statements after recording option present under Tools > Options > General Tab. This

will not only make your code look neater but also make your scripts perform better.

Make your own judgment whether you want to go for Descriptive Programming or Object

Repository or mixed approach. Each approach has it own pros and cons that in turn is related to

QTP performance.

Unless absolutely required, uncheck the options Save still image capture to results and Save

movie to results present under Tools > Options > Run tab. These options definitely have some

bearing on QTP run time performance.

Make the Run Mode as fast. This setting is present under Tool > Options > Run tab. Note: If

you intend to run your scripts from QC no need to worry about this option, as the scripts WILL

run in fast mode whether you want or not.

Make use of relative paths while calling reusable actions in your script. Using relative path would

make your script portable and easy to manage. I will cover in detail how tos and whys of using

relative paths in my next post.
