SQL Server Guide
Software Testing Documents Documents on Unit Testing, Web Testing, Software Testing Artifacts, Software Test Process Etc.. QTP Basic Features• QTP was Launched in 2002 (Nov). By Mercury Interactive. Later taken over by HP, in 2007.
• QTP is an Object Based Testing Tool.
(Object based means; QTP Follows Test Object Model for Performing Testing operations. Based on either Test Objects or Automation Objects or Utility Objects only, we can automate test operations)
(LoadRunner is a Protocol based Test Tool)• QTP is for Functional and Regression Testing.
(Basically QTP is a Functional and Regression Test tool but we can use it for little bit Compatibility Testing and Performance Testing)• It follows Keyword Driven Approach.
(Keyword Driven Approach means; Keywords, example: Commands, functions, methods, statements etc.. are used for creating Test scripts)• It supports Windows Operating Environment only.
(QTP basically depends on User Interface to automate test operations and it is not depends on server side interactions, where as LoadRunner depends on server side Operations, so HP developed LoadRunner for Windows as well as UNIX versions)
• It supports GUI based (Graphical user interface) and Web based Applications Automation, does not support CUI (Command user interface) Applications.
• It has multilingual support. (It supports English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc languages with respect to license.)
• It has adapted Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting edition for programming and Excel like spread sheet for Data driven testing.
Tools support for QTP:------------------------------• VB Script for Scripting (for implementing programming logic)
• VB Script engine integrated in QTP, so apart from scripting features we can use File system, Excel, word, Adodb etc. Object models from QTP.
• SQL (Structured query language) engine integrated in QTP, so we can use SQL Statements in QTP to perform Database Operations
• Excel like spread sheet integrated in QTP for performing Data driven Testing
• We can install MS Script Debugger with QTP for Debugging Test scripts.
• QTP uses XML format for Test results, Environment variables and for exporting object repositories.-------------------------------------------------------
• QTP can be integrated with other Tools like WinRunner and Quality Center.
• QTP can be used for user interface (UI) test case automation and some limited (Non UI) Test case automation like File system operations and Data base operations.
• It was derived from Astra QuickTest (mother tool of QTP).
• It supports IE (Internet Explorer) only for recording tests, for execution it supports other browsers like Mozilla and AOL, opera Etc apart from IE.
• QTP is a Desktop Application (I-Tier/Stand alone).
• QTP developed in .NET Technology.
• Since it is Stand-alone Application, It doesn't have Database, It stores resources as files (Internal and External). We can't share qtp services from one machine to another, but we can share resources(Ex: Object Repository files, Function Libraries, Environment variable files, Recovery scenario files etc...)
QTP has two types of License;
• Seat or Node locked License,
• Concurrent or float license.
• We have to use Seat license from fixed system/machine and Concurrent License, we can use from any system but one user at a time. If we want multiple concurrent licenses that we can purchase.
• QTP has UNI code support.

Key Elements of QTP Tool Window
1) Test Pane:It is programming interface of QTP, used for creating, editing, viewing and deleting test scripts.
Test: It is a set of statements or set of one or more actions. (It is a local concept)
Action: It is a set of Statements. (It is a local concept)
Statement: A minimal executable unit. Statements may have keywords. (Keyword such as function, method, statement etc). It is a global concept.
Test pane has 2 views.
Expert view- Test in VB script format.Key word view- Test in Icon based GUI format.
Note1: Here in test pane Test is same but views are different, if you perform anymodifications in one view those automatically reflects in another view.
Note 2: Technical users use expert view and business user use key word view.
Note 3: User can customize Test pane view options.
Navigation: Tools Menu> view options> we can use font size and colors etc.
2) Active ScreenIt has an optional element of QTP, it takes snap shots of every statement that user performed action or operation on AUT.
It can be used for understanding and editing the test easily.
Navigation: View menu>active screen (for launching and closing)
Configuring Active Screen: view>options>active screen tab>increase /Decrease capture level, apply and okay.
Note 1: Generally novice testers use this feature but it occupies lot of memory space on QTP.
3) Data TableIt has an integrated spread sheet (Excel like), used for Data driven testing.
Navigation: View menu>Data table (for launching and closing)
Data driven Testing: Testing the same task(S) or same operation with multiple sets of test data.
It can be used in two ways.
1. Enter test data directly into Data Table and use.
2. Importing data from external files (Flat files, excel sheets, etc) and Data bases (MS access, Sql Server, oracle, etc.)
It has two types of sheets.
1). Global Sheet- for entire Test /used for all actions in the Test.2). Action Sheets- for specific Action only.
Data table available in 2 ways:
1). Design time data table. (Attached with every test)2). Run time data table. (Available in result window)
Run time is a carbon copy of design time data table.QTP has Data table methods for performing operations on data table.
4) Debug ViewerIt is used for locating and rectifying or fixing errors.It can be used for debugging the tests by step-by-step execution.
We use Step into, Step over and Step out commands for debugging. (debug commands)
Navigation: View menu>debug viewer (for launching and closing)
Through Debug viewer user can watch variables and change values of variables temporarily.
5) Missing Resources
It can be used for showing missing resources that attached to current test such as (Recovery Scenarios, Library files etc).
Navigation: View menu >missing resources (for launching and closing)
6) InformationThis pane shows syntax errors automatically during saving the test.Navigation: view menu> information
7) QTP CommandsQTP Commands are available in 3 ways.

Recording Tests
Recording and Running
a) Test Recording Process
It is a Process of Recording user operations on AUT (Application Under Test). During Recording QTP Creates steps in Keyword view, and generates them in a script in the Expert view. Simultaneously it adds Objects information into ObjectRepository.
b) Running /Execution Process
During Running QTP reads statements one by one and gets Object Information from the Object Repository, based on that Information performs operations on AUT.
c) Recording Modes
QTP has 3 Recording Modes to generate Tests / Test Scriptsi) Normal Recording
It records User Mouse and Keyboard operations on AUT with respect to objects, but unable to record continuous mouse operations like Digital Signatures, graphs, paints etc.
During recording QTP generates VbScript statements in Test Pane, Simultaneously it stores objects information into object repository.
Navigation: Automation>Record Or Select Record option on automation toolbar Or Use short cut key (F3)
Steps for preparing a Test (through Recording):
1.Put AUT in base state2.Select Record Option3.It shows Record and Run Settings, Select type of Environment (Windows or Web)4.Select Record Option
(It shows two Options :1.Record and Run Test on any open window based applications
2.Record and Run only on)
If we select first option it records on any opened application on Desktop.If we select Second option, it asks for the path of the AUT, After Providing the path it records only on that particular application.)
5.Click OK6.Perform actions on AUT7.Stop recording.8.Save the Test
ii) Analog Recording:
It records the exact mouse and keyboard operations. We can use this mode for recording continuous mouse operations. It is not useful for recording normaloperations why because it does not generate steps for each operation, generates total user actions in a Track File. The Track file is not editable.
Navigation:
1.Keep tool under recording mode2.Automation >Analog RecordingORUse Short cut Key (Shift + ALT+F3)
Steps for preparing a Test (through Analog Recording):
1.Launch AUT (or we can launch AUT through QTP)2.Select Record option3.Automation>Analog Recording4.Analog Recording Settings Dialog box opens
(In this Dialog box two options available.
1.Record relative to the screen2.Record relative to the following window)
(If we select first option QTP records User operations with respect to Desktop co-ordinates.If we select Second option, we have to show the window (AUT), after showing the Window it records with respect to that window co-ordinates.)
5.Select any one option in the dialog box and click Start Analog record.6.It records User actions7.Stop Recording
iii) Low Level Recording
It records some operations on Non-supported environments apart from Normaloperations.
This mode records at the object level and records all run time objects as window or winobject Test objects.
Use Low Level Recording for recording in an environment not recognized by QTP.
Navigation:1.Keep tool under recording mode2.Automation >Low Level Recording
Steps for preparing a Test (through Low Level Recording):
1)Launch AUT (or we can launch AUT through QTP)2)Select Record option3)Automation> Low Level Recording4)Perform options on AUT5)Stop Recording6)Save the Test
d) Disadvantages of Recording
• It occupies a lot of memory space(due to duplicate objects), So QTP performance will be reduced
• No Centralized Maintenance mechanism , So Modifications are very difficult
• User may not have command on the Recorded script, So locating errors is difficult
• Recorded scripts are QTP internal files, they may corrupt.
e) Advantages of Recording/ Where Applicable
• It is used for Analyzing the AUT in the initial stage to find out weather the QTP tool is Recognizing all of our Application Objects or not
• It is easy to create Tests / Test Scripts
•It is used for frequently changing UI (User Interface)
• It takes less time to create Tests
Keyword Driven Methodology
Keyword-Driven Methodology
By creating our tests with a keyword-driven methodology in mind, our tests become more modular, focusing on the operations to test using both QuickTest built-in keywords and your own user-defined keywords. Additionally, because it is possible to add objects to the object repository before they exist in an application, it is possible to begin preparing our automated keyword-driven tests even before a software build containing the new objects is available. Setting up Object Repositories In this step, we build one or more object repositories and ensure that all objects have clear names that follow any predetermined naming conventions defined by ourorganization. We can create object repositories using QuickTest functionality to recognize and learn the objects in your application, or we can manually define objects. By creating and populating shared object repositories that can be associated with multiple actions, we can use the same object repository in multiple tests. Add (learn) objects from our application.
We instruct QuickTest to learn the objects in our application according to filters that we define. Ensure that objects in the object repository have names that are easy for applicationtesters to recognize and that follow any established object naming guidelines. This helps make both test creation and maintenance easier over time. Configuring QuickTest According to our Testing Needs After we set up the test automation infrastructure, we need to configure QuickTest to use this infrastructure: Define your global testing preferences. We need to specify configuration settings that affect how we create
and run tests in general—these settings are not test-specific. Building our Tests We can create tests that are as simple or complex as needed. In general, it is best to create tests and actions that check just one or a few simple functions or complete atransaction rather than creating long tests and actions that perform several complex tasks or that perform many tasks. We may perform the following tasks when creating tests and test steps: Create new tests, if needed. To do so, select File > New > Test. Create the required actions. Associate our object repositories with the relevant actions This enables us to insert steps that perform operations on those objects. Associate our function libraries with the relevant tests. This enables us to use our special keywords in any of the associated tests.Object RepositoryObject Repository:It is a storage place of QTP where objects information can be stored and it also acts as interface between the Test script and the AUT in order to identify the objects during execution.
Object:Object is something, which has structure and properties.
Software objects:We call Windows, Web Pages, Buttons, Edit boxes, Check boxes etc.. as software objects.
Types of Object in QTP:There are four types of object available in QTP.
1. Run time objects2. Test objects3. Utility objects4. Automation objects/User defined objects.
Run time objects: The objects present in the AUT. Ex: Buttons, Links, etc…
Test Objects: References of Run time objects. Ex: WinEdit, WinButton, WebButton, Link, etc…
Note:Test objects names vary from one environment to another.
Utility objects
They are QTP reserved objects used for Testing and Result reporting.
Ex:1. SystemUtil for launching/closing the application.2. Reporter for defining results.3. Services for inserting transaction points4. Environment for using environment variables
Automation objects/User defined objects
User can create objects; those can be used for performing specific operations. Ex: Creating objects in filesystemobject class, adodb.connection class, dictionaryobject class, Excel. Application class etc.
There are two types of repository available in QTP.
1. Local repository (.MTR extension)2. Shared repository(.TSR extension)
Local Repository:QTP creates a Local Repository for every Action automatically during Recording. That cannot be shared among tests.
User can add some more objects to Local repository
User can perform rename, delete operations on local repository. As it is QTP internal file user no need to save modifications.
Shared Repository:User (Test Engineer) creates the Shared Repository by adding objects. That can be shared among number of tests.
Using this method user can perform modifications on objects easily.
Operations on Object Repository
Adding objectsa. Local Repository:
Navigation: open Local Repository (Resource Menu > Object Repository)
objects>Add objects to Local> Show the Object>Click Ok
(No need to save separately, it saves automatically)
B. Shared Repository:
Navigation: Resource menu>object repository manager>object>Add objects>show the window/object>click ok
o Selected object onlyo Default object typeso All objects typeso Selected object types
(If we select first option it stores Selected objects only, if we select second option it stores all default objects, if we select third option it stores All objects including static objects, if we select fourth option, we have to select objectclasses then it stores that class objects, we can select more than one class also.)
Renaming Objects
a. Local Repository:
Resources > object repository >select object and right click >choose rename option >modify the name>release the mouse.>close repository
b. Shared Repository:
Resources >object repository manager>file>open>browse path of the repository file >file>enable editing>select object &Right click>choose rename option>modify the name > release mouse>save the file & close repository manager.
Deleting Objects
a. Local Repository:
Resources > object repository >select object and right click >choose delete option >confirm deletion>. >close repository
b. Shared Repository:
Resources >object repository manager>file>open>browse path of the repository file >file>enable editing>select object &Right click>choose delete option>confirm the deletion >save the file & close repository manager.
Associating Object Repositories to an Action/Test
Resources>Associate repositories>click add icon (+)>browse path of the repository>Associate with an action>click ok
Merging Repositories
Resources > object repository manager>tools>object repository merge tool >browse path of the first repository> browse path of the second repository>click ok>click close>save the merged repository>close the repository manager.
Note: After merging also, source repository files will be available, if we do not want source files we can delete.
Defining New Test Objects
Navigation: Object>Define new test object >Select Environment>Select Class ofthe object>Enter name of the object>Click
Add>click close>Select object>select property name>enter value (like this select one by one properties and enter values)>save
Note: This feature can be used for preparing tests before the AUT is ready.
Spying Objects
For getting objects information, (Test objects names, property & Values) QTP isproviding a feature called Object Spy, using this we can get objects information.
Navigation>Tools>object spy>take hand icon & Show the object>get information (Object Spy shows the specific objects all available properties with their values)
Note: As Object spy is an important feature, it can be available in 3 Areas.(1. In tools Menu 2. In local repository 3. In Repository manager)
View Options
Locate in Repository
This feature can be used for identifying objects from application to repository.
Navigation: View>Locate in repository >show the object>click Ok>it locates specified object in the repository.
Highlight in Application
This feature can be used for identifying objects from repository to application.
Navigation: Select object in the repository >view>highlight in application>it highlights specified objects in the application.
Exporting Repository to an XML file
We can export our repository file to an xml file.
Navigation: File >export Test objects to XML Enter the file name and Save with xml extension.
Importing Repository from XML file.
We can import XML file to our repository.
Navigation: File>import from XML >browse path of the XML file >it loads objects.
Note: The purpose of this feature is Editing objects information outside of the QTP
Navigation: Resource menu>object repository (Short cut key Ctrl+R)Object Identification Configuration
Object Identification ConfigurationOverview:
Generally for every object 20-25 properties information available, qtp recognizes object using 2 0r 3 important properties.
Qtp has default object identification configuration for every environment, if we feel that config is not sufficient for recognizing objects in our application, we can configure some more
Object Identification Types
a) Normal identification
1) Mandatory properties2) Assistive properties
b) Smart identification
1) base filter properties2) optional filter properties
c) Ordinal identifier 1) location2) index3) creation time(only for web)
QTP learns information in the following in case of normal identification: First of all the qtp learns all the mandatory properties at a time and thinks whether theseproperties sufficient to identify the object uniquely. if it feels sufficient then it stops learning otherwise,It learns first assistive property and once again stops and thinks, like this qtp learns one by one. At the end of assistive properties list also if it feels not satisfied and it finally goes to Ordinal Identifier.
QTP learns information in the following in case of Smart Identification:
Smart identification is an optional feature, if we feel normal identification is not sufficient for any object, and then we configure Smart Identification for that object, in order to avoid Ordinal Identifier.
After normal identification if qtp feels not satisfied then it goes to smart identification. in smart identification 2 types of properties available, first qtp learns all base filter propertiesat a time and thinks whether these properties are sufficient for identifying the object uniquely. If it feels sufficient, then it stops learning otherwise it goes Optional FilterProperties and learns one by one. Still it feels not satisfied finally it goes to Ordinal Identifier.
Ordinal identifiers:
There are 3 types of ordinal identifiers available
1) Location: is based on object location in the AUT ,location starts from zero. 2) index: it is based on sequence of the programs, index starts from zero 3) Creation time: it is based on loading time of the web objects. qtp generates 0,1,2 like numbers.
Tool Settings Globalization:
As QTP is a I-tier(Stand-alone) application,making Tool settings globally is not possible.
For making tool settings global, QTP is providing a special feature called "Generate Script".
STEPS:
1) Settings available in 3 areas. a) File->Settings b) Tools->Options c) Tools->Object Identification
2) Perform required settings and generate Scripts
3) Share Script files to team members and ask them to execute those scripts.
NOTE: After executing these scripts all team members can get same settings.

Descriptive Programming
Descriptive ProgrammingEntering / Providing objects information directly into the test script is called Descriptive Programming.
In this method of script creation, we no need to have Object Repositories.
Advantages:
a) Descriptive Programming based Test scripts are faster in execution than Repository based Test scripts.
b) Scripts are portable (we can run these scripts from any machine easily)
c) Maintenance is easy (less amount of resources)
d) We can start Test Execution process even though Application is not ready.
Descriptive programming is basically 2 types.
1. Static Programming2. Dynamic Programming
Static Programming
In this style of script generation, we provide objects information directly into the script.
Example:1) Invokeapplication "C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe"2) dialog("text:=Login").Activate3) dialog("text:=Login").Winedit("attached text:=Agent Name:").Set "gcreddy"4) dialog("text:=Login").Winedit("attached text:=Password:").Set "mercury"5) dialog("text:=Login").Winbutton("text:=OK","width:=60").Click
Note:1. Dialog, WinEdit and WinButton – Test Objects2. text, attached text - Property names3. Login, Agent Name:, Password:, OK - Property values or Logical Names of the Object4. Activate, Set, Setsecure, Click - Methods
Note2:If we feel one property information is not sufficient for recognizing the object uniquely, then we can provide more properties information by separating with commas.
Note 3:If we want to get objects information (Test objects, properties and values), we can use object spy feature. This feature is available in Tools Menu, in local repository and in repository manager.
Example 2:SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE","","C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer","open"Browser("title:=Google").Page("title:=Google").SyncBrowser("title:=Google").Navigate "http://www.icicibank.com/"
-------------------------------------------------------------------If we want maintain ‘Objects information’ in centralized location then we can use Constants.
Steps:
Creating Constants:
Const Login="text:=Login", Agent="attached text:=Agent Name:"
Const Pwd ="attached text:=Password:", Ok="text:=OK"
Note: we can declare no of Constants in a line by separating with Camas (,), if we take other line then we have to use Const Statement again.
Creating a Library file
Place Constants in Notepad and save as .vbs file
Associate the Library file to QTP (File->Settings->Resources-> Click add (+) icon-> Browse path of the Library file->Click Apply and click Ok buttons
Otherwise, we can load the library file during run-time
Syntax:
ExecuteFile “Path of the Library file(.vbs)”
After that create the Test Script using Constants
Creating the Test Script using Constants:
Invokeapplication "C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe"Dialog(Login).ActivateDialog(Login).Winedit(Agent).Set "asdf"Dialog(Login).Winedit(Pwd").Set "mercury"Dialog(Login).Winbutton(Ok).Click
Advantages:
If we maintain Object Information in the centralized location, then we can handle modifications easily.-------------------------------------------------------------------
Dynamic Programming
In this style of script generation, first we create description objects, provide properties information and use description objects in the test script.
Creating Properties Collection Objects
Set oLogin=description.CreateSet oAgent=description.CreateSet oPassword=description.CreateSet oOk=description.Create
Entering Properties Information into Objects
oLogin("text").value="Login"oLogin("width").value=320oLogin("height").value=204oAgent("attached text").value="Agent Name:"oPassword("attached text").value="Password:"oOk("text").value="OK"
Generating Tests using Properties collection Objects
Invokeapplication "C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe"
Dialog(oLogin).ActivateDialog(oLogin).Winedit(oAgent).Set "gcreddy"Dialog(oLogin).Winedit(oPassword).Set "mercury"Dialog(oLogin).Winbutton(oOK).Click
Note1: Create Description objects and put into one library file, by associating that library file, we can generate tests.
Note2: Dynamic programming is some difficult in preparation than static programming but maintenance is very easy.
------------------------------------------------------
Examples:
Handling similar/Duplicate Objects using Index Property
SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
Browser("name:=Google").Page("title:=Google").Sync
Browser("name:=Google").Navigate http://www.jjperfumes.com/
Browser("name:=JJ Perfumes-Discount perfume cheap brand name perfumes,fragrance & cologne online").page("title:=JJ Perfumes-Discount perfume cheap brand name perfumes, fragrance & cologne online").Link("innertext:=Register","index:=0").Click
Inserting Checkpoints
Inserting CheckpointsCheck point is a verification point, it takes expected result from the user and compares with actual results during execution and provides test results.
There are 11 Checkpoints available in QTP:
1. Standard check point2. Text check point3. Text area check point4. Bit map check point5. Data base check point6. Accessibility check point7. XML Check point (from Application)8. XML Check point (from Resource)9. Page check point
10. Image checkpoint11. Table checkpoint
Note 1: From 6 to 11 checkpoints are only for Web.
Note 2: From 9 to 11 checkpoints are hidden checkpoints, we can insert thesecheckpoints through standard checkpoint.
1. Standard Checkpoint:
It checks object property values. We can use this checkpoint for checking anyproperty value.
Navigation for Inserting standard checkpoint
Keep tool under recording mode > place cursor in desired location > Insert > check point > Standard checkpoint > Show the object > click okay > select property and enter expected results & click Ok and stop Recording.
Navigation for Editing standard checkpoint
Select Checkpoint statement and right click > choose checkpoint properties option > modify the value > click Ok.
Navigation for Deleting standard checkpoint:
Select Checkpoint statements and right click > choose delete option.
Inserting Standard check points through active screen:
View > Active Screen >place cursor in desired location >Place mouse pointer on active screen & right click> choose insert standard checkpoint option > click ok > enter expected result > click ok
Note: Inserting Standard check points through keyword view same as in expert view.
Note: We can insert standard checkpoints in 3 ways.
a. Through expert view,b. Through keyword view,c. Through Active screen.
2) Text Checkpoint:
It Checks object’s text property value in different ways.
Navigation:Keep tool under Recording mode >Insert menu > checkpoint > Text checkpoint > Show the object > click ok > Select options
(Match case; ignore spaces, exact match, text not displayed.)
We can select one or more options > click ok & stop Recording.
3) Text Area Checkpoint:
It checks the text area present in the application.
Navigation:Keep tool under Recording mode > Insert menu> Checkpoint > Text area checkpoint > Mark the area of text > select one or more options
(Match case, ignore spaces, exact match, text not displayed.)
Click ok and stop recording.
4. Bitmap checkpoint:
It compares bitmaps; we can compare complete bitmaps as well as part of the bitmaps.
Navigation:
Keep tool under Recording mode > Insert menu > Checkpoint > Bitmap checkpoint > show the Bitmap >click ok >select “check only selected area” option if we want to compare part of the bitmap > click ok >stop recording.
5. Database checkpoint:
It checks Content of the back end Database.
Navigation:
Insert > checkpoint > Database checkpoint >choose “specify SQL statement manually” option >click next > click create > select machine data source > Select DSN (QT_flight32) > click ok > enter SQL statement (select * from orders) > finish > click ok.
Note: here we do not need to put tool under Recording mode and we do not need AUT since data is from backend.
6. Accessibility check point:
It checks whether the webpage in our web application is developed according to W3C (World Wide Web consortium) Rules and Regulations or not.
It is a configurable checkpoint, according to our requirements, we can customize.
Configuring accessibility checkpoint:
Tools menu> options >web > advanced > check/uncheck items > click apply > click ok
Invigilation:Keep tool under recording mode with web environment >insert>checkpoint>accessibility checkpoint>show the webpage>click ok>click ok>stop recording.
Result Criteria:a) If item is available but not according to W3C rules then fail.b) If an item is available, according to W3C rules then Pass.c) If an item is not available then result would be pass
7. XML Check point (from Application)
It checks content of the XML file.
Navigation:Keep tool under Recording mode in web environment > insert menu > checkpoint (fromapplication)> show the xml pages >click ok > stop Recording.
8. XML Check point (from Resource)
It checks content of the XML file.
Navigation: Insert menu > checkpoint >xml checkpoint (from resource) > browse path of the XML File > click ok > click ok.
Note: 1. If XML file is an individual and path available, and then we can go for inserting xml checkpoint from resource.
Note: 2. If XML file is part of web application, separate path is not available then we can choose inserting XML checkpoints from application.
9. Page checkpoint:
It checks number of Links, Images and Loading time in a web page.
It is a hidden checkpoint; we can insert this through standard checkpoint.
Navigation:
Keep tool under Recording mode with web environment > Insert menu > checkpoint > Standard checkpoint >show the web page > click ok > click ok > stop recording.
10. Image checkpoint:
It checks Image property values.
Navigation: Keep tool under Recording mode with web environment > Insert menu > checkpoint >standard checkpoint > show the image > select image > click ok > click ok >stop recording.
11. Table checkpoint:
It checks content of the web tables.
Navigation: Keep tool under Recording mode under web environment > Insert menu > checkpoint > standard checkpoint >show the web table > click ok >stop recording.
Inserting Output Values
It is a step in which one or more values are captured during test execution.
The values can later be used as input at a different point in the run session or we can
use as input for another test.
It is stored in run time data table; it is located in QTP result window and can be
retrieved later.
Types of Output Values:
1. Standard output value
2. Text output value
3. Text area output value
4. Database output value
5. XML output value (From Application)
6. XML output value (From Resource)
1) Standard output value:
We can use standard output values to output the properties values of most objects.
Navigation:
Keep tool under Recording mode > Insert menu >output value> standard output
value > show the object > click ok > select property > modify the column name (if
required) > click ok >click ok >stop recording.
2) Text output value:
We can use Text output values to output text strings displayed in an application.
When creating a text output value we can output a part of the objects text and we
can also specify text before and after options.
Navigation:
Keep tool under recording mode> Insert menu> output value > text output value >
show the text >select one of the option(output text/text before/text after) > click
modify if you want to change the column name > click ok > click ok.> check in
runtime table after running it.
3) Text Area output value:
We can use text area output values to output text strings displayed within
a definedarea of the screen.
Navigation:
Keep tool under recording mode > insert menu >output value > text area output
value >Mark the text area >click modify the column name if necessary > click ok >
again click ok > check in run time table after running it..
4) Database output value:
We can use Database output values to output the value of the contents of database
cells.
Navigation:
Insert menu> output value > Database output value> choose specify SQL
statementsmanually >click next >click create >Select Machine Data source >
Select Driver(QT_flight32) > click ok > enter SQL statement (select *from orders) >
click finish > select data cells > click ok > Run and it will capture and see the results
in run time table.
5) XML output value (from application):
we can use XML output values to output the values of XML elements in
XMLdocuments.
Navigation: Keep tool under recording mode with web environment > Insert menu >
output value > XML output value from application > Show the XML document >
select elements > click ok >stop recording.
6) XML output Value (From Resource):
We can use XML output values to output the values of XML elements in
XMLdocuments.
Navigation:
Insert menu >output value> XML output value from resource > browse path of the
XML file > click ok > select elements >click ok.
ParameterizationPassing parameters, through this we can pass multiple values.
We use parameterization in Data Driven Testing.
Data Driven Testing: Testing the Same operation with multiple sets of test data.
Types of Parameterization: We can parameterize tests in several ways in QTP
1. Through Loop Statements2. Dynamic Test Data Submission3. Through Data Table4. Fetching Test Data directly from External files (Flat files & Spreadsheets)5. Fetching Test Data directly from Databases (MSAcess, Oracle etc).6. Getting Test Data from front end objects.
1. Through Loop Statements: We can use loop statements for passing sequential numbers & Logical Numbers.
Note: We can’t generate Strings.
For orderno=1 to 10 step 1 ' for one increment step keyword is not mandatoryWindow("Flight Reservation").ActivateWindow("Flight Reservation").WinButton("Button").ClickWindow("Flight Reservation").Dialog("Open Order").WinCheckBox("Order No.").Set "ON"Window("Flight Reservation").Dialog("Open Order").WinEdit("Edit").Set ordernoWindow("Flight Reservation").Dialog("Open Order").WinButton("OK").ClickNext
2.Dynamic Test Data Submission: Through Loop Statements we can give strings also but every time user has to enter data.
For x=1 to 3Agent =inputbox("enter an Agent Name")Password=inputbox("enter a password")invokeapplication "C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe"Dialog("Login").ActivateDialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set AgentDialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Type micTabDialog("Login").WinEdit("Password:").SetSecure passwordDialog("Login").WinButton("OK").ClickWindow("Flight Reservation").CloseNext
3. Through Data Table: QTP adds one data table (Spreadsheet) for every test, we can use Data Table for Data Driven Testing.
It has 3 types of usage .
a. Entering test data directly into data table and use
b. Importing test data from external Flat files
c. Importing test data from external Spread sheets
d. Importing test data from Data bases.
a. Entering test data directly into data table and use.
Steps:
i) Generate the basic test>open data table(View>Data Table)
ii) Click on column header>enter the name of the field (like this we can create number of columns) > Enter Data>connect the data to test
(variable=datatable(“column name”, Sheet id)
Example: agent=datatable(“agent”,1)
Pass parameters.)
iii) Run the test.
Example:
Agent = Datatable("Agent",1)pwd=Datatable ("Password",1)
Invokeapplication "C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe"

b. Importing test data from external files:
Open Data Table (view>Data table)>place mouse pointer on data table and right click>file>import from file>Click ok>Browsw path of the file(it imports data from the flat file)
Connecting Test Data to QTP Test as above and run the test.
c. Importing test data from external Spread sheets:
Open Data Table (view>Data table)>place mouse pointer on data table and right click>file>import from file>Click ok>Browse path of the excel sheet (it imports data from the excel sheet)
Connecting Test Data to QTP Test as above and run the test.
d. Importing test data from Data bases:
Through Data table we can import Test Data from Data bases, but first we have to create /get the DSN(Data source Name)& we have to use SQL Commands.
i). Creating a Test Database: open MS Access (or we can use any other database).
ii) Start programs>MS Office>MS Access>file >new>Select blank Database>enter name of the database>Save with mdb extension.
iii)Creating Tables: Select Create table in design view>Enter field name(Agent)and Select data type(text) Like this we can create number of fields>save&enter table name.
iv) Entering Data into Tables: Select table>enter the data.
v)Creating DSN & importing data
Navigation: view>data table>Place mouse pointer on Data table>sheet>import>from database(Database query wizard opens)>choose ‘specify SQL statements manually>click next >click create>click new>select driver type>click next >browse path to store> enter DSN Name>Click Save>click next>click finish>select>browse the database& select>click ok>click ok>select DSN>click ok>enter SQL statement (select *from login)>click finish.
Note: DSN Creation is one time activity, by using the DSN we can get data for number of tests.

SynchronizationIt is a process of matching the speeds of both QTP and AUT in order to get proper execution and results.
Where Synchronization is required:
During test execution QTP gives instructions one by one with same speed, but AUT takes less time for some operations execution and more time for some operations execution, that time we may not get proper execution and results. In order to get proper results inbetween QTP & AUT synchronization is required.
There are several methods available in QTP for synchronization.
1. Inserting Wait statements.2. Inserting Synchronization points.3. Increasing Tool default synchronization time.4. Sync Method (Only for WEB)5. Exist Property
Inserting Wait Statements:We can insert wait statements in our test in order to make QTP to wait until AUT completes current operation.Syntax: Wait(time in seconds)
Note: If we insert wait statements QTP waits up to maximum time even though operation is completed.
Inserting Synchronization points:
Place cursor in desired location>keep tool under recording mode>Insert menu>Synchronization point >show the object >click ok>select property name & Value(True)>enter time in Milli seconds>click ok>Stop recording.
Note: if we insert Synchronization points, it does not wait up to maximum time, after completion of the current operations, it goes to next step immediately.
Syntax: object hierarchy.waitproperty “property name”,value,time in milli seconds.
Increasing Tool default synchronization time:
Navigation: File>settings>run tab>increase object synchronization time out>apply>okNote: If we increase QTP tool default time that can be applied for all statements in the test, but QTP does not wait up to maximum time unnecessarily, After completion of one statement execution it goes to next statement immediately.
Sync Method: (only for WEB)Waits for the browser to complete current navigation.
Syntax: Object Hirearchy.SyncEx: Browser("Yahoo! Toolbar").Page("Yahoo! Toolbar").Sync
Selecting an appropriate Method:
1. Suppose in our test one or more statements only are taking more time for execution then selecting “Inserting synchronization method” is better.
2. Suppose in our test more statements are taking more time for execution then selecting “increasing tool time out” .
3. Above two are local features but wait statement is Vbscript feature, even though some drawbacks are there in using wait statement, it is better to use wait statement in functions.
Advantages of Wait Statement:
1) It is a VBScript statement, we can use this globally
2) It is recommended, whenever we want to observe the Test Execution process3) No object reference required to insert wait statements
4) It is useful to make QTP capture values and screen shots during test execution
Inserting Transaction PointsQTP is providing a Utility object called Services for measuring transaction time
Suppose, we want to measure how much time that one test or part of the test is
taking for execution/running, we can measure using these transaction point (Start
and End)
Syntax:
Services.StartTransaction “Transaction Name” Statements-------------Services.EndTransaction “Transaction Name” Note: these options (Start and End Transactions) available in QTP tool Insert menu
Example:
services.StartTransaction "Login"SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe","","C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\","open"Dialog("Login").ActivateDialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set "naga"Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Password:").SetSecure "4baf50f18b0ae0d5f5425fe760653e96da50bde7"Dialog("Login").WinButton("OK").ClickWindow("Flight Reservation").Activateservices.EndTransaction "Login" Note: We can insert number of transaction points in a test
Using Timer Function
‘Timer’ is a VB Script Built-in function, that can be used for measuring transaction time.ST=Timer’ It returns elapsed time since 12:00 AM Mid night in secondsExample:SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe","","C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\","open"Dialog("Login").ActivateDialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set "naga"Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Password:").SetSecure "4baf50f18b0ae0d5f5425fe760653e96da50bde7"Dialog("Login").WinButton("OK").ClickWindow("Flight Reservation").ActivateET=TimerTT=ET-STmsgbox TT
Note: here ST, ET and TT are variables, you can take any variable, I used:ST for Start TransactionET for End transactionTT for Transaction Time
Step Generator (F7)
Step Generator is a feature of QTP, Library of Functions, used for generating the Recordable and Non-Recordable steps.
Navigation: Insert menu->Step Generator
Or
Use Shortcut key F7
The Step Generator enables us to add steps by selecting from a range of context-sensitive options and entering the required values. In the Step Generatordialog box we can define steps that use:
Test object operations (tests only)Utility object operationsCalls to library functions (tests only), VBScript functions, and internal script functionsFor example, we can add a step that checks that an object exists, or that stores the returned value of a method as an output value or as part of a conditionalstatement. We can parameterize any of the values in our step.
Note: we can use the Step Generator to insert steps in tests and function libraries. Hover, in function libraries, we cannot use the Step Generator to access test object names or collections, or to access the list of library functions.
Before we open the Step Generator to define a new step, we first select where inour test the new step should be inserted.
After we open the Step Generator, we first select the category for the step operation (test object, Utility object or function) and the required object or the function library. We can then select the appropriate operation (method, property, or function) and define the arguments and return values, parameterizing them if required.
The Step Generator then inserts a step with the correct syntax into y test. We can continue to add further steps at the same location without closing the StepGenerator.
We can open the Step Generator from the Keyword View, Expert View, or Active Screen.
Debugging Tests
Debugging is a process of executing the script or a program in a User designed
fashion with some temporary break points in order to identify the errors.
For debugging, QTP is providing debug commands and breakpoints.
Debug Commands:
1) Step Into (short cut key F11):
a. It starts execution
b. It executes one statement at a time.
c. If it is function call, it opens the function, after that it executes
one statement at a time.
2) Step Over (Short cut key F10):
a) It executes one statement at a time after execution starts
b) It executes all functions statements at a time
Note: After opening the function, if we use step over it executes one statement at a
time only.
3) Step Out (shift +F11):
It executes all remaining statements in a function at a time.
Ex: Dim a,b,c
a=100
b=200
c=a+b
msgbox c
msgbox "hello"
Call hyderabad
msgbox "bye bye"
Note: Create a script and work on it
Break Point:
This feature is used for breaking the execution temporarily.
Navigation:
Place cursor in desired location >Debug menu>Insert/Remove break point
Or
Use short cut key (F9)
Or
Place mouse pointer before the statement and click.
Note: If we want to execute Some part of the Test Script at a time and some other
part of the test script step by step, there we can use breakpoints.
Debug viewer Pane:
It is used for viewing, modifying or setting the value of the variables during the
execution break with the help of 3 Tabs.
1. Watch
2. Variables
3. Command
Note: Through Debug Viewer Pane, We can watch variables whether the variables
aretaking correct values or not at a specific point of time. We can change Values of
Variables temporarily.
Ex :
Dim x,y,z
x=10
y=20
z=x+y
msgbox z
msgbox "Hello"
x=35
y=67
z=x*y
msgbox z
msgbox "bye bye"
Navigation: View menu > Debug Viewer > Use step into feature.
Analyzing Test Results & Reporting
Analyzing the Test Result is not a responsibility of QTP. After Running Tests, User (Test Engineer) has to analyze the test result. and send defect reports.
QTP Result Window:
After Running/Executing a test, then QTP Provide result window. we export test result from result window in Document (.Doc), HTML, XML and PDF formats.
Note: QTP doen't provide batch wise test result, if we execute test batches. It provides test wise result only.
Status of the Result:
QTP has 4 types of result status
a) Passb) Failc) Doned) Warning
Defining our own Result:Generally QTP provides, test results, if we use qtp tool features like checkpoints. suppose if we use flow control statements (conditional and Loop statements), then we have to define our own result.
For defining our own results, QTP is providing an utility object called "Reporter"
by using reporter, we can define our own results.
Syntax:
Reporter.ReportEvent status of the Result,"Result Step","message"
Example"
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass,"Res","Login operation Successful"
exaplanation:
Reporter- Utility objectReportEvent-MethodmicPass-Status of the Result.Res-Result step"Login operation Successful"- Message
Status of the Result:
1) Pass -micPass or 0
2) Fail -micPass or 1
3) Done- micDone or 2
4) Warning- micDone or 3
Reporting DefectsQTP is an Object based Test tool. We can create and execute tests using QTP. QTP Provides, various methods for crating and enhancing Tests.
After Running Tests, QTP provides result in Result window and also provides a facility to define our own Results. Result Exporting facility also available in QTP Result window.
Any how Analyzing Results is the Responsibility of Test Engineer after running tests.
After analyzing results, we can report defects in various methods.
If we are using QTP for Functional Test Automation and Defect managementmanual, then entering defect details in company prescribed format and sending.
If we are using Bugzilla or Zera or PR-Tracker like Bug Tracking tool, then after analyzing results, if we find any mismatches sending defects through the Bug tracking tool (Every Bug Tracking tool has its own defect report
template)
If we are using Quality center for Test management, then we can send defects directly from QTP result window. In between QTP and Quality Center back to back integration is available.
ActionsAction: Set of Statements for perfoming a Task(s)We divide our test into actions to streamline the process of testing.
Purpose of Actions:
For understandability
For reusing components
Types of Actions:
1) Non Re usable actions2) Re usable actions3) External actions
Operations on Actions:
• Creating Actions
• Splitting Actions
• Renaming Actions
• Deleting Actions
• Calling an Action
• Copying an Action
• Making an Action Reusable/Non Reusable
Creating an Action: Insert>call to new action>enter name of the action>click okSteps:
1. Create required actions(ex login, insert,delte)2. Prepare Scripts for those actions.
Splitting an action:
Navigation: Place cursor in desired location>Edit menu>action>split action>Enter Action 1 name & action 2 name.
Steps:
1. Generate total test in the default action2. Split into meaningful actions.
Note: At a time we can split one actions into 2 actions.
Renaming actions: Select desired action in action drop down box> edit menu>action>rename action>modify the name>click ok.
Deleting Actions: Select desired action in action drop down box>edit menu>action>delete action>confirm deletion.
Calling an action: Insert>call to existing action>browse path of the test>select desired action>click ok.
Note: U can’t edit
Copying an action: Insert>call to copy of action>browse path of the test>select desired action>click ok.
Note: we can edit this action.
Making an action reusable: Select Non Reusable action >edit >action>action properties>check reusable action check box >click ok.

Environment Variables in QTP
These are global variables; if you want to use some variables globally (Fromnumber of tests) declaring as global variables is better. If we declare as local variables in number of tests, modifications are difficult.
Types of Environment variables:
1. Built in variables: These are system defined variables, we can access from all tests but these are designed as read only.
2. User defined variables: Variables that we predefine in the active external environment variables file. We can create as many files as we want and we can change values of variables.
Usage of environment variables:
Syntax: Variable = Environment(“environment variable name”)
Ex:
X=Environment (“ActionName”)Msgbox x
Example Script:
ProductDir =environment ("ProductDir")app= "\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe"
Systemutil.Run ProductDir & appDialog("Login").ActivateDialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set "kajal"Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Password:").SetSecure "4b3c86f2107ff565cc195ba6c24739091b656407"Dialog("Login").WinButton("OK").Click
Creating user defined environment variables:
Navigation:
File > settings > Environment > select variable type as user defined > click addicon (+) > enter variable name & Value > click ok (like this we can create numberof variables) > click export > browse path & enter file name, save with xml extension > click ok.
Associating environment variable file:
Navigation: File > settings >Environment > select variable type as user defined > check “load variables and values from the external file” > browse path of the xml file > click apply & ok.
Or
We can load environment file directly
Environment.loadfromfile”path of the xml file”
Usage of user defined Environment variables:
Associate environment file to current test:Variable = Environment (“Variable Name”)
X=environment (“city”)Msgbox x
Modifying Environment files:
Select XML file>open with notepad>modify the values>Save.
Regular Expressions in QTP
What is Regular Expression?
It is a way of representing data using symbols. They are often used within matching, searching or replacing algorithms.
Regular Expressions in QTP:
Regular expressions can be used in QTP for identifying objects and text strings with varying values.
Where we use:
o Defining the property values of an object in Descriptive programming for handling dynamic objectso For parameterizing a stepo creating checkpoints with varying values
Using Regular Expressions in QTP:
We can define a regular expression for a constant value, a Data Table parameter value, an Environment parameter value, or a property value in Descriptive programming.
We can define a regular expression in standard checkpoint to verify the property values of an object; we can set the expected value of an object's property as aregular expression so that an object with a varying value can be verified.
We can define the text string as a regular expression, when creating a text checkpoint to check that a varying text string is displayed on our application, For XML checkpoints we can set attribute or element values as regular expressions.
Ways of Regular Expressions:
a) Backslash Character:
A backslash (\) can serve two purposes. It can be used in conjunction with a special character to indicate that the next character be treated as a literal character.Alternatively, if the backslash (\) is used in conjunction with some
characters that would otherwise be treated as literal characters, such as the letters n, t, w, or d, the combination indicates a special character.
b) Matching Any Single Character:
A period (.) instructs QTP to search for any single character (except for \n). Ex:welcome. Matches welcomes, welcomed, or welcome followed by a space or any other single character.
c) Matching Any Single Character in a List:
Square brackets instruct QTP to search for any single character within a list of characters. Ex:To search for the date 1867, 1868, or 1869, enter:
186[789]
d) Matching Any Single Character Not in a List:
When a caret (^) is the first character inside square brackets, it instructs QTP to match any character in the list except for the ones specified in the string.Example: [^ab] Matches any character except a or b.
e) Matching Any Single Character within a Range:
To match a single character within a range, we can use square brackets ([ ]) with the hyphen (-) character.Example:For matching any year in the 2010s, enter:
201[0-9]
f) Matching Zero or More Specific Characters:
An asterisk (*) instructs QTP to match zero or more occurrences of the preceding character.For example:
ca*r
Matches car, caaaaaar, and cr
g) Matching One or More Specific Characters:
A plus sign (+) instructs QTP to match one or more occurrences of the preceding character.For example: ca+r Matches car and caaaaaar, but not cr.
h) Matching Zero or One Specific Character:
A question mark (?) instructs QTP to match zero or one occurrences of the preceding character.For example: ca?r Matches car and cr, but nothing else.
i) Grouping Regular Expressions:
Parentheses (()) instruct QTP to treat the contained sequence as a unit, just as in mathematics and programming languages. Using groups is especially useful for delimiting the argument(s) to an alternation operator ( | ) or a repetition operator ( * , + , ? , { } ).
j) Matching One of Several Regular Expressions:
A vertical line (|) instructs QTP to match one of a choice of expressions.
k) Matching the Beginning of a Line:
A caret (^) instructs QTP to match the expression only at the start of a line, or after a newline character.
l) Matching the End of a Line:
A dollar sign ($) instructs QTP to match the expression only at the end of a line, or before a newline character.
m) Matching Any AlphaNumeric Character Including the Underscore:
\w instructs QTP to match any alphanumeric character and the underscore (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _).
n) Matching Any Non-AlphaNumeric Character:
\W instructs QTP to match any character other than alphanumeric characters and underscores.
o) Combining Regular Expression Operators:
We can combine regular expression operators in a single expression to achieve the exact search criteria we need.For example, start.* Matches start, started, starting, starter, and so forth. we can use a combination of brackets and an asterisk to limit the search to a combination of non-numeric characters. For example: [a-zA-Z]* To match any number between 0 and 1200, we need to match numbers with 1 digit, 2 digits, 3 digits, or 4 digits between 1000-1200. The regular expression below matches any number between 0 and 1200. ([0-9]?[0-9]?[0-9]|1[01][0-9][0-9]|1200)
RegExp object
VB Script is providing RegExp object for defining Regular expressions, It provides simple support for defining regular expressions.Regular Expression Object Properties and Methods:
Properties:
a) Global Property
b) IgnoreCase Property
c) Pattern Property
Methods:
a) Execute Method
b) Replace Method
c) Test Method
Regular Expressions Examples:
1) Match File Names in a Directory against Regular Expression
Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")strCurrentDirectory = objShell.CurrentDirectory
Set objFolder = objFS.GetFolder(strCurrentDirectory)Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
Set objRE = New RegExpobjRE.Global = TrueobjRE.IgnoreCase = FalseobjRE.Pattern = WScript.Arguments(0)
For Each objFile In colFiles bMatch = objRE.Test(objFile.Name) If bMatch Then WScript.Echo objFile.Name End IfNext
2) Match Content in a File against a Regular ExpressionstrFileName = "E:\gcreddy.txt"Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTS = objFS.OpenTextFile(strFileName)strFileContents = objTS.ReadAllWScript.Echo "Searching Within: "WScript.Echo strFileContentsobjTS.Close
Set objRE = New RegExpobjRE.Global = TrueobjRE.IgnoreCase = FalseobjRE.Pattern = WScript.Arguments(0)
Set colMatches = objRE.Execute(strFileContents)
WScript.Echo vbNewLine & "Resulting Matches:"For Each objMatch In colMatches WScript.Echo "At position " & objMatch.FirstIndex & " matched " & objMatch.ValueNext
Virtual Object ConfigurationVirtual Object Configuration:
Virtual Object Configuration is a process of making the QTP to treat a specified area or a user defined object as Virtual Object.
Virtual objects enable us to create and run tests on objects that are not normally recognized by QTP.
We can manage the virtual objects defined on our computer using the Virtual Object Manager.
Navigation:
Select Tools Menu Go to Virtual objects Select ‘New Virtual Object’ option Click Next Mark the area in the Application with help of mark object button Click next Select one of the following optionso Entire Parent hierarchyo Parent only Click on Next Specify the Desired object name Specify the Desired collection name Click finish
Virtual Object Manager:
Virtual object Manager feature enable us to create and manage Virtual Objects
Batch Testing or Batch Execution
Executing a group of Tests or series of tests at a time is known as Batch Testing or Batch Execution. For performing Batch Testing, QTP is providing a separate Tool called Test Batch Runner.
Steps for Batch Testing:
1). Create Individual Tests and Run once.
2). Open 'Test batch Runner' Tool and Form Batches.
3) Provide permission to 'Test batch Runner' to run tests
4). Run or Execute Test Batches from Test Batch Runner.
5) View Test wise Result in 'Test Result Viewer'.
Note: QTP doesn’t provide Batch wise result.
Forming a Test Batch:
Launch Test Batch Runner.
Navigation: Start>program>quicktest professional>Tools>Test Batch Runner>File>new>batch>add>browse path of the test (like this add number of tests)>save with MTB extension (Module test batche)>close test batch runner.
Running or Executing a Test Batch
Open Test Batch Runner Tool
Navigation: File>open>browse path of the test batch>batch>run
Note: Test Batch Runner launches QTP Tool, QTP runs Tests one by one.
Note: Allowing other products to Run Tests.
Navigation: Tools>Options>Run>check allow other mercury products>apply & Ok
Executing partial Test Batch
Open Test Batch Runner >open Test Batch>Select or deselect tests>run test batch.
Recovery Scenario Manager
To recover from unexpected events and errors that are occurred in the test environment during run session, we can use Recovery Scenario Manager. For good recovery, error must be known the occurrence is unknown.

File System Operations
File System:
Its an operating system feature, it allows users to create, modify,view and delete; drives,folders and files
VB Script is providing an object called scripting.filesystemobjectand some methods for performing file systems operations
File System Object Model:
The File System Object (FSO) model provides an object-based tool for working with folders and files. It allows us to use the familiar object.method syntax with a rich set of properties, methods, and events
to process folders and files. We can also employ the traditional Visual Basic statements and commands.
The FSO model gives our application the ability to create, alter, move, and delete folders, or to determine if and where particular folders exist. It also enables us to get information about folders, such as their names and the date they were created or last modified.
The FSO model makes processing files much easier as well. When processing files, our primary goal is to store data in an efficient, easy-to-access format. We need to be able to create files, insert and change the data, and output (read) the data. Although we can store data in a database, doing so adds a significant amount of overhead to our application. We may not want to have such overhead, or our data access requirements may not call for the extra functionality associated with a full-featured database. In this case, storing our data in a text file or binary file is the most efficient solution.
The FSO model, contained in the Scripting type library (Scrrun.dll), supports the creation and manipulation of text files through the TextStream object; however, the FSO model does not support binary files. To manipulate binary files, use the FileOpen Function with the Binary keyword.
Examples:
1) Create a folderDim fso, strFolderstrFolder="D:\Documents and Settings\gcreddy\Desktop\Dibyalok"Set fso=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")fso.CreateFolder(strFolder)
2) Create a folderDim fso, strFolderstrFolder="D:\Documents and Settings\gcreddy\Desktop\Dibyalok"Set fso=createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")If fso.FolderExists(strFolder) Then msgbox "Folder already exists" elsefso.CreateFolder(strFolder)End If
3) Data Driven Testing by fetching Test data directly from a Text file.

AOM Scripting (Automation Object Model)
Object Model:
An object model is a structural representation of software objects (classes) that comprise the implementation of a system or application. An object model defines a set of classes and interfaces, together with their properties, methods and events, and their relationships.
We can use QTP Automation object Model to write scripts, that automate our QTP operations.
QTP Automation object model provides objects, methods and properties that enable us to control QTP from another application.
We can use Scripting languages or programming languages such as VBscript, Java script or VC++, .Net for automating QTP operations.
Example:1) Write an AOM Script to launch QTP Tool, Execute Tests and to close the QTP Tooloption explicitDim qtAppSet qtApp=createobject ("Quicktest.Application")qtApp.LaunchqtApp.visible=True
qtApp.open "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\login"qtApp.Test.RunqtApp.Test.Close
qtApp.open "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\open order"qtApp.Test.RunqtApp.Test.Close
qtApp.quitSet qtApp=Nothing
Note: AOM Script can be used in Automation framework as an Initialization script.'------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) Write an AOM script to execute series of tests
Dim objFso,objQtp,myFile,i,gcreddy
Set objQtp = CreateObject("Quicktest.Application")objQtp.Visible = TrueobjQtp.Launch
Set objFso =CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")Set myFile = objFso.OpenTextFile("C:\Users\Chinni\Desktop\Test\gcreddy.txt")i =1Do Until myFile.AtEndOfStream =Truetesturl = myFile.ReadLine
objQtp.Open gcreddyobjQtp.Test.RunobjQtp.Test.Closei = i+1Loop
objQtp.QuitSet objQtp = Nothing
Dynamic handling of object Repositories
Loading repositories during running, finding path of the repositories and removing repositories is called Dynamic Handling of Object Repositories.
Using this feature we can increase QTP performance. To do this, QTP is providing an object called “RepositoriesCollection”.
Syntax for Loading a Repository:RepositoriesCollection.Add “Path of the Repository File”
Syntax for finding Position of the Repository:Variable=RepositoriesCollection.Find(“Path of the Repository”)
Syntax for Removing the Repository:RepositoriesCollection.Remove(position)
Syntax for Removing All Repositories:RepositoriesCollection.RemoveAll
Example:RepPath="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Login.tsr"RepositoriesCollection.Add (RepPath)systemutil.Run "C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe"Dialog("Login").ActivateDialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set "sudhakar"Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Password:").Set "mercury"Dialog("Login").WinButton("OK").Clickpos=RepositoriesCollection.Find(RepPath)RepositoriesCollection.Remove(pos)RepositoriesCollection.RemoveAll
QTP Scripting QTP Tests in VB Script orientation provides a real-time approach on Scripting. Itexplains Flat file scripts, Excel Scripts, GUI Scripts, Web scripts, Database scripts and xml scripts with syntax and examples.

qtp real-time script exampleQuickTest Professional is an Industry leading and famous Testing Tool for Functional & Regression Testing QTP uses VB Script for scriptingWe can use QTP Tool features as well as VB Script Flow Control statements for inserting verification points.If we want to use VB Script Flow Control statements for inserting flow control statements, then we need to define Test results.QTP has provided a facility to define Test Results, using ‘Reporter’ Utility Object to define test results.Using Comments is a best practice in QTP Scripting to understand the code.Creating functions for modular code is a best practice and intelligent task in scripting /Programming.using Automation Objects is an useful task in QTP scriptingusing Built-in functions and regular expressions is an useful task.
QTP Scripting has several types:
a) GUI scripting: using scripting for GUI based Applicationsb) Web scripting: Automation web based applications using vb scriptc) Database scripting: Using scripting for Database operations such as data comparisons and validations.d) Excel scripting: Handling and using Excel files in Test Automation

Error Handling in QTP
Error Handling:Error handling refers to the anticipation, detection, and resolution of programming, application, and communications errors.
Within every Script we have to think about possible exceptions and how to handle them. Especially in the uppermost layers of the script, it is important to handle all exceptions.
Error Handling in QuickTest Professional:QTP and VBScript give the Test Engineer some tools to handle errors and Exceptions.
Error Preventing:
A good method for using error handling is to try to prevent them.
When an error occurred, Report it in detail. When working with GUI objects, use the Window.Exist property. Every If…Then..End If statement has the Else part, the same forSelect Case. Use Case Else.
Error Handling Methods in QTP and VB Script:
a) Synchronizationb) Exist Propertyc) Recover Scenarios
d) On Error Statement
Without an On Error statement, any run-time error that occurs is fatal: an error message is displayed, and execution stops.
Whenever possible, you use structured exception handling in your code, rather than resorting to unstructured exception handling and the On Error statement.
Parts:
GoToline
Enables the error-handling routine that starts at the line specified in the required line argument. The line argument is any line label or line number. If a run-time error occurs, control branches to the specified line, making the error handler active. The specified line must be in the same procedure as the On Error statement, or a compile-time error will occur.
GoTo 0
Disables enabled error handler in the current procedure and resets it to Nothing.
GoTo -1
Disables enabled exception in the current procedure and resets it to Nothing.
Resume Next
Specifies that when a run-time error occurs, control goes to the statement immediately following the statement where the error occurred, and execution continues from that point. Use this form rather than On Error GoTo when accessing objects.
on Error Resume Next
Example1:Dim aa = 1
b-2MsgBox a + b ' displays result without showing error
Example2:
Function Sum(Num1, Num2)If IsNumeric(Num1) = False Or IsNumeric(Num2) = False ThenOn Error Resume NextErr.Raise vbObjectError + 100, "Sum Function", _"One or more parameters are invalid."Exit FunctionEnd IfSum = Num1 +Num2
End Function Call Sum("gcreddy","QTP") 'Comes out without showing errorCall Sum(100,200) ' returns sum of 100,200 as 300
e) Error Object
The Err object is an intrinsic object with global scope — there is no need to create an instance of it in your code.
The properties of the Err object are set by the generator of an error — Visual Basic, an Automation object, or the VBScript programmer. The default property of the Err object is Number.
Err.Number contains an integer and can be used by an Automation object to return an SCODE.
When a run-time error occurs, the properties of the Err object are filled with information that uniquely identifies the error and information that can be used to handle it. To generate a run-time error in your code, use the Raise method.The Err object's properties are reset to zero or zero-length strings ("") after an On Error Resume Next statement. The Clear method can be used to explicitly reset Err. Example:
On Error Resume NextErr.Raise 6 ' Raise an overflow error.
MsgBox ("Error # " & CStr(Err.Number) & " " & Err.Description)Err.Clear ' Clear the error.

1) It is an Interpreter based Language2) Interpreter converts high level instructions into machine language line by line3) It doesn’t create executable file.4) No need to compile the program5) It takes less code for achieving tasks.6) It greatly reduces development time
7) It reduces maintenance of cost 8) Implicit Support of Data Types.9) Limited support for User Interface Design10) Limited or No Support for Graphics Design
Example Scripting Languages are:
Shell, Perl, VB Script, Java Script, Python, Ruby, Rexx, PHP Etc..
Programming Language:

VB Script Variables
Definition 1):Variable is a named memory location for storing program informationDefinition 2):A variable is a convenient placeholder that refers to a computer memory location where we can store program information that may change during the time our script is running.Purpose of Variable:
a) Comparing values
Example:Dim x,y,ax=100y=100a=x=yMsgbox a 'It returns True
b) Holding Program Result
Example:Cost=Tickets*Price
c) Passing parameters
d) To store data that returned by functionsExample:myDate=Now ‘ It returns current data & time
e) To hold dataExample:myName=”gcreddy”
Declaring Variables
We declare variables explicitly in our script using the Dim statement, the Public statement, and the Private statement.For example: Dim cityDim xWe declare multiple variables by separating each variable name with a comma. For Example: Dim x, y, city, gcreddy
We can also declare a variable implicitly by simply using its name in our script. That is notgenerally a good practice because we could misspell the variable name in one or more places, causing unexpected results when our script is run. For that reason, the Option Explicit statement is available to require explicit declaration of all variables.
The Option Explicit statement should be the first statement in our script.
Option Explicit Statement
Forces explicit declaration of all variables in a script.
Option Explicit ' Force explicit variable declaration.Dim MyVar ' Declare variable.MyInt = 10 ' Undeclared variable generates error.MyVar = 10 ' Declared variable does not generate error.Naming Restrictions for Variables
Variable names follow the standard rules for naming anything in VBScript. A variable name:
a) Must begin with an alphabetic character.Dim abc 'RightDim 9ab 'WrongDim ab9 'Right
b) Cannot contain an embedded period.Dim abc 'RightDim ab.c 'worngDim ab-c 'wrongDim ab c 'wrongDim ab_c 'Right
c) Must not exceed 255 characters.
d) Must be unique in the scope in which it is declared.
Scope of Variables
A variable's scope is determined by where we declare it.
When we declare a variable within a procedure, only code within that procedure can access or change the value of that variable.
If we declare a variable outside a procedure, we make it recognizable to all the procedures in our script. This is a script-level variable, and it has script-level scope.Example:Dim x,y,zx=10y=20z=x+ymsgbox z 'Returns 30Function res Dim a,b,c a=30 b=40 c=a+b+y msgbox c ' Returns 90End FunctionCall res
Life Time of Variables
The lifetime of a variable depends on how long it exists.
The lifetime of a script-level variable extends from the time it is declared until the time the script is finished running.
At procedure level, a variable exists only as long as you are in the procedure.Assigning Values to Variables
Values are assigned to variables creating an expression as follows:
The variable is on the left side of the expression and the value you want to assign to the variable is on the right.
For example: A = 200City = “Hyderabad”
X=100: Y=200Scalar Variables and Array Variables
A variable containing a single value is a scalar variable.
A variable containing a series of values, is called an array variable.
Array variables and scalar variables are declared in the same way, except that the declaration of an array variable uses parentheses () following the variable name.
Example:Dim A(3)
Although the number shown in the parentheses is 3, all arrays in VBScript are zero-based, so this array actually contains 4 elements. We assign data to each of the elements of the array using an index into the array. Beginning at zero and ending at 4, data can be assigned to the elements of an array as follows:
A(0) = 256A(1) = 324A(2) = 100 A(3) = 55
Similarly, the data can be retrieved from any element using an index into the particulararray element you want.
For example:
SomeVariable = A(4)
Arrays aren't limited to a single dimension. We can have as many as 60 dimensions, although most people can't comprehend more than three or four dimensions.
In the following example, the MyTable variable is a two-dimensional array consisting of 6 rows and 11 columns:
Dim MyTable(5, 10)
In a two-dimensional array, the first number is always the number of rows; the secondnumber is the number of columns.Dynamic Arrays
We can also declare an array whose size changes during the time our script is running. This is called a dynamic array.
The array is initially declared within a procedure using either the Dim statement or using the ReDim statement.
However, for a dynamic array, no size or number of dimensions is placed inside the parentheses.
For example: Dim MyArray()ReDim AnotherArray()
To use a dynamic array, you must subsequently use ReDim to determine the number of dimensions and the size of each dimension.
In the following example, ReDim sets the initial size of the dynamic array to 25. A subsequent ReDim statement resizes the array to 30, but uses the Preserve keyword to preserve the contents of the array as the resizing takes place.
ReDim MyArray(25)
ReDim Preserve MyArray(30)
There is no limit to the number of times we can resize a dynamic array, although if we make an array smaller, we lose the data in the elimina
VB Script Operators
Operators are used for performing mathematical, comparison and logical operations.VB Script has a full range of operators, including arithmetic operators, comparisonoperators, concatenation operators, and logical operators.
Comparison operators all have equal precedence; that is, they are evaluated in the left-to-right order in which they appear.
Arithmetic and logical operators are evaluated in the following order of precedence.
1) Arithmetic Operators:
Operator Description1) Exponentiation Operator (^) Raises a number to the power of an exponent
2) Multiplication Operator (*) Multiplies two numbers.
3) Division Operator (/) Divides two numbers and returns a floating-point result.
4) Integer Division Operator (\) Divides two numbers and returns an integer result.
5) Mod Operator Divides two numbers and returns only the remainder.
6) Addition Operator (+) Sums two numbers.
7) Subtraction Operator (-) Finds the difference between two numbers or indicates the negative value of a numeric expression.
8) Concatenation Operator (&) Forces string concatenation of two expressions.
Example:
Dim a,b,ca=10b=3c=a^bmsgbox c '1000
c=a*bmsgbox c '30
c=a/bmsgbox c '3.33333333
c=a\bmsgbox c '3
c=a mod bmsgbox c '1
c=a-b
msgbox c '7
Dim a,b,ca=10b=2c=3d=c*a^b'c=a+bmsgbox d '1000
Addition (+) operator
Dim a,b,ca=10b=2c=a+bmsgbox c '12 (if both are numeric, then it adds)
a="10"b=2c=a+bmsgbox c '12 (one is string another numeric, then it adds)
a="10"b="2"c=a+bmsgbox c '102 (if both are strings, then it concatenates)
a="hydera"b="bad"c=a+bmsgbox c 'hyderabad
a="gagan"b=2c=a+bmsgbox c 'error
Concatenation Operator
Dim a,b,ca=10b=2
c=a&bmsgbox c '102
a="10"b=2c=a&bmsgbox c '102
a="10"b="2"c=a&bmsgbox c '102
a="hydera"b="bad"c=a&bmsgbox c '102
2) Comparison Operators
Used to compare expressions.
Operator Description1) = (Equal to) Used to compare expressions.2) <> (Not equal to) Used to compare expressions.3) < Less than 4) > Grater than5) <= Less than or equal to 6) >= Greater than or equal to7) Is Object equivalence
Example:
Dim x,y,zx=10y=20z=x=yMsgbox z 'False
x=10y=20z=x>yMsgbox z 'False
x=10
y=20z=x>=yMsgbox z 'False
x=10y=20z=x<>yMsgbox z 'True
x=10y=20z=x<yMsgbox z 'True
x=10y=20z=x<=yMsgbox z 'True3) Concatenation Operators

5) Eqv Performs a logical equivalence on two expressions. result= expression1 Eqv expression2
6) Imp Performs a logical implication on two expressions. result= expression1 Imp expression2
Methods
Input and Out Put Operations
InputBox Function
Displays a prompt in a dialog box, waits for the user to input text or click a button, and returns the contents of the text box.
Example:Dim InputInput = InputBox("Enter your name")MsgBox ("You entered: " & Input)
MsgBox Function
Displays a message in a dialog box, waits for the user to click a button, andreturns a value indicating which button the user clicked.
Example:Dim MyVarMyVar = MsgBox ("Hello World!", 65, "MsgBox Example")MyVar contains either 1 or 2, depending on which button is clicked.
Conditional Statements
Flow Control (Conditional Statements)
We can control the flow of our script with conditional statements and looping statements.
Using conditional statements, we can write VBScript code that makes decisions and repeats actions. The following conditional statements are available in VBScript:
1) If…Then…Else Statement 2) Select Case Statement
Making Decisions Using If...Then...Else
The If...Then...Else statement is used to evaluate whether a condition is True or False and, depending on the result, to specify one or more statements to run.
Usually the condition is an expression that uses a comparison operator to compare one value or variable with another.
If...Then...Else statements can be nested to as many levels as you need.
1) Running a Statement if a Condition is True (single statement)
To run only one statement when a condition is True, use the single-line syntax for the If...Then...Else statement.
Dim myDatemyDate = #2/13/98#If myDate < Now Then myDate = Now
2) Running Statements if a Condition is True (multiple statements)To run more than one line of code, we must use the multiple-line (or block) syntax. This syntax includes the End If statement.
Dim xx= 20If x>10 Then
msgbox "x value is: "&xmsgbox "Bye Bye"End If
3) Running Certain Statements if a Condition is True and Running Others if a Condition is False
We can use an If...Then...Else statement to define two blocks of executable statements: one block to run if the condition is True, the other block to run if the condition is False.
Example:
Dim xx= Inputbox (" Enter a value")If x>100 ThenMsgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "X is a Big Number"Msgbox "X value is: "&XElse Msgbox "GCR"Msgbox "X is a Small Number"Msgbox "X value is: "&XEnd If
4) Deciding Between Several Alternatives
A variation on the If...Then...Else statement allows us to choose from several alternatives. Adding ElseIf clauses expands the functionality of the If...Then...Else statement so we can control program flow based on different possibilities.
Example: Dim xx= Inputbox (" Enter a value")
If x>0 and x<=100 ThenMsgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "X is a Small Number"Msgbox "X value is "&x
Else IF x>100 and x<=500 ThenMsgbox "Hello GCR"Msgbox "X is a Medium Number"
Else IF x>500 and x<=1000 ThenMsgbox "Hello Chandra Mohan Reddy"Msgbox "X is a Large Number"
Else Msgbox "Hello Sir"Msgbox "X is a Grand Number"End IfEnd IfEnd If
5) Executing a certain block of statements when two / more conditions are True (Nested If...)
Example:
Dim State, RegionState=Inputbox ("Enter a State")Region=Inputbox ("Enter a Region")
If state= "AP" ThenIf Region= "Telangana" Thenmsgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"msgbox "Dist count is 10"
Else if Region= "Rayalasema" Thenmsgbox "Hello GCR"msgbox "Dist count is 4"
Else If Region= "Costal" Then
msgbox "Hello Chandra mohan Reddy"msgbox "Dist count is 9"
End IfEnd IfEnd IfEnd If
Making Decisions with Select Case
The Select Case structure provides an alternative to If...Then...ElseIf for selectively executing one block of statements from among multiple blocks of statements. A Select Case statement provides capability similar to the If...Then...Else statement, but it makes code more efficient and readable.Example:
Option explicit Dim x,y, Operation, Result x= Inputbox (" Enter x value")y= Inputbox ("Enter y value")Operation= Inputbox ("Enter an Operation")
Select Case Operation
Case "add"Result= cdbl (x)+cdbl (y)Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "Addition of x,y values is "&Result
Case "sub"Result= x-yMsgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "Substraction of x,y values is "&Result
Case "mul"Result= x*yMsgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "Multiplication of x,y values is "&Result
Case "div"Result= x/yMsgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "Division of x,y values is "&Result
Case "mod"Result= x mod yMsgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "Mod of x,y values is "&Result
Case "expo"Result= x^yMsgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox"Exponentation of x,y values is "&Result
Case ElseMsgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"msgbox "Wrong Operation"
End Select
Looping Through Code
Flow Control (Loop Statements)
o Looping allows us to run a group of statements repeatedly. o Some loops repeat statements until a condition is False; o Others repeat statements until a condition is True. o There are also loops that repeat statements a specific number of times.The following looping statements are available in VBScript:o Do...Loop: Loops while or until a condition is True.o While...Wend: Loops while a condition is True.o For...Next: Uses a counter to run statements a specified number of times.o For Each...Next: Repeats a group of statements for each item in a collection or each element of an array.
1) Using Do Loops
We can use Do...Loop statements to run a block of statements an indefinite number of times.
The statements are repeated either while a condition is True or until a condition becomes True.
a) Repeating Statements While a Condition is True
Repeats a block of statements while a condition is True or until a condition becomes True
i) Do While conditionStatements----------- -----------Loop Or, we can use this below syntax:
Example:
Dim x
Do While x<5 x=x+1Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "Hello QTP"Loop
ii) Do Statements----------- -----------Loop While condition
Example:
Dim xx=1Do Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "Hello QTP"x=x+1Loop While x<5
b) Repeating a Statement Until a Condition Becomes True
iii) Do Until conditionStatements----------- -----------Loop Or, we can use this below syntax:Example:
Dim xDo Until x=5 x=x+1Msgbox "G.C.Reddy"Msgbox "Hello QTP"Loop
Or, we can use this below syntax:
iv) Do Statements----------- -----------Loop Until conditionOr, we can use this below syntax:

Dim xx=1Do Msgbox “Hello G.C.Reddy” Msgbox "Hello QTP"x=x+1Loop Until x=5
2 While...Wend Statement
Executes a series of statements as long as a given condition is True.
Syntax:While conditionStatements----------- ----------- Wend
Example:
Dim xx=0 While x<5 x=x+1msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"msgbox "Hello QTP"Wend
3) For...Next Statement
Repeats a group of statements a specified number of times.Syntax: For counter = start to end [Step step] statements Next
Example:Dim xFor x= 1 to 5 step 1Msgbox "Hello G.C.Reddy"Next
4) For Each...Next Statement
Repeats a group of statements for each element in an array or collection.
Syntax:
For Each item In array
StatementsNext
Example: (1
Dim a,b,x (3)a=20b=30x(0)= "Addition is "& a+b x(1)="Substraction is " & a-bx(2)= "Multiplication is " & a*bx(3)= "Division is " & a/b
For Each element In xmsgbox elementNext
Example: (2
MyArray = Array("one","two","three","four","five")For Each element In MyArraymsgbox elementNext
VB Script Procedures
User Defined Functions
In VBScript, there are two kinds of procedures available; the Sub procedure and the Function procedure.
1) Sub Procedures
A Sub procedure is a series of VBScript statements (enclosed by Sub and End Sub statements) that perform actions but don't return a value.
A Sub procedure can take arguments (constants, variables, or expressions that are passed by a calling procedure).
If a Sub procedure has no arguments, its Sub statement must include an empty set of parentheses ().
Syntax:Sub Procedure name ()Statements----------------------End Sub
OrSub Procedure name (argument1, argument2)Statements----------------------End Sub
Example: 1
Sub ConvertTemp()temp = InputBox("Please enter the temperature in degrees F.", 1)MsgBox "The temperature is " & Celsius(temp) & " degrees C."End Sub
Example: 2
2) Function Procedures
A Function procedure is a series of VBScript statements enclosed by the Function and End Function statements.
A Function procedure is similar to a Sub procedure, but can also return a value.
A Function procedure can take arguments (constants, variables, or expressions that are passed to it by a calling procedure).
If a Function procedure has no arguments, its Function statement must include an empty set of parentheses.
A Function returns a value by assigning a value to its name in one or more statements of the procedure. The return type of a Function is always a Variant.Syntax:Function Procedure name ()Statements----------------------End FunctionOrFunction Procedure name (argument1, argument2)Statements----------------------End Function
Example: 1
Function Celsius(fDegrees)Celsius = (fDegrees - 32) * 5 / 9End Function
Example: 2
Function cal(a,b,c)cal = (a+b+c)End Function
3) Getting Data into and out of Procedures
o Each piece of data is passed into our procedures using an argument.o Arguments serve as placeholders for the data we want to pass into ourprocedure. We can name our arguments any valid variable name.o When we create a procedure using either the Sub statement or the Function statement, parentheses must be included after the name of the procedure.o Any arguments are placed inside these parentheses, separated by commas.
4) Using Sub and Function Procedures in Code
A Function in our code must always be used on the right side of a variable assignment or in an expression.
For example:Temp = Celsius(fDegrees)-Or-MsgBox "The Celsius temperature is " & Celsius(fDegrees) & " degrees."
To call a Sub procedure from another procedure, type the name of the procedurealong with values for any required arguments, each separated by a comma.
The Call statement is not required, but if you do use it, you must enclose any arguments in parentheses.
The following example shows two calls to the MyProc procedure. One uses the Call statement in the code; the other doesn't. Both do exactly the same thing.
Call MyProc(firstarg, secondarg)
MyProc firstarg, secondarg
Notice that the parentheses are omitted in the call when the Call statement isn't used.

VB Script Errors Generally Errors in VB Script are 2 Types
1) VB Script Run-time Errors
VB Script run-time errors are errors that result when your VBScript script attempts to perform an action that the system cannot execute. VBScript run-time errors occur while your script is being executed; when variable expressions are being evaluated, and memory is being dynamic allocated.
Error Number Description:
429 ActiveX component can't create object 507 An exception occurred 449 Argument not optional 17 Can't perform requested operation 430 Class doesn't support Automation 506 Class not defined 11 Division by zero 48 Error in loading DLL 5020 Expected ')' in regular expression 5019 Expected ']' in regular expression 432 File name or class name not found during Automation operation 92 For loop not initialized 5008 Illegal assignment 51 Internal error 505 Invalid or unqualified reference 481 Invalid picture 5 Invalid procedure call or argument 5021 Invalid range in character set 94 Invalid use of Null 448 Named argument not found 447 Object doesn't support current locale setting 445 Object doesn't support this action 438 Object doesn't support this property or method
451 Object not a collection 504 Object not safe for creating 503 Object not safe for initializing 502 Object not safe for scripting 424 Object required 91 Object variable not set 7 Out of Memory 28 Out of stack space 14 Out of string space 6 Overflow 35 Sub or function not defined 9 Subscript out of range 5017 Syntax error in regular expression 462 The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable 10 This array is fixed or temporarily locked 13 Type mismatch 5018 Unexpected quantifier 500 Variable is undefined 458 Variable uses an Automation type not supported in VBScript 450 Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment
2) VB Script Syntax Errors
VBScript syntax errors are errors that result when the structure of one of yourVBScript statements violates one or more of the grammatical rules of theVBScript scripting language. VBScript syntax errors occur during the program compilation stage, before the program has begun to be executed.

VB Script Objects a) FileSystemObject
Scripting allows us to process drives, folders, and files using the FileSystemObject (FSO)object model.
Creating FileSystemObject:
Set Variable=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")Example:
Dim objFsoSet objFso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")objFso.CteateTextFile("D:\gcreddy.txt")
b) Dictionary
Creating Dictionary Object:
Set Variable=CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")Example:
c) Excel Application
Creating Excel Object:
Set Variable=CreateObject("Excel.Application")Example:
d) Word Application

a) Dictionary Object
Dictionary Object that stores data key, item pairs.
A Dictionary object is the equivalent of a PERL associative array/Hash Variable. Items can be any form of data, and are stored in the array. Each item is associated with a unique key. The key is used to retrieve an individual item and is usually an integer or a string, but can be anything except an array.
Creating a Dictionary Object:
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Dictionary Objects Methods:
Add Method
Adds a key and item pair to a Dictionary object
Exists Method
Returns true if a specified key exists in the Dictionary object, false if it does not.
Items Method
Returns an array containing all the items in a Dictionary object.
Keys Method
Returns an array containing all existing keys in a Dictionary object.
Remove Method
Removes a key, item pair from a Dictionary object.
RemoveAll Method
The RemoveAll method removes all key, item pairs from a Dictionary object.
Example:
Dim citiesSet cities = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")cities.Add "h", "Hyderabad"cities.Add "b", "Bangalore"cities.Add "c", "Chennai"
Dictionary Objects Properties:Count Property
Returns the number of items in a collection or Dictionary object. Read-only.
CompareMode PropertySets and returns the comparison mode for comparing string keys in a Dictionary object.
Key Property
Sets a key in a Dictionary object.
Item PropertySets or returns an item for a specified key in a Dictionary object. For collections, returnsan item based on the specified key. Read/write. Examples:
a to Elements 1) AddDictionary
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
objDictionary.Add "Printer 1", "Printing" objDictionary.Add "Printer 2", "Offline"objDictionary.Add "Printer 3", "Printing"
2) Delete All a Elements fromDictionary
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Wscript.Echo "First run: "For Each strKey in colKeys Wscript.Echo strKeyNext
objDictionary.RemoveAllcolKeys = objDictionary.Keys
Wscript.Echo VbCrLf & "Second run: "For Each strKey in colKeys Wscript.Echo strKeyNext
3) Delete One Element from a Dictionary
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
objDictionary.Add "Printer 1", "Printing" objDictionary.Add "Printer 2", "Offline"objDictionary.Add "Printer 3", "Printing"
colKeys = objDictionary.Keys
Wscript.Echo "First run: "For Each strKey in colKeys Wscript.Echo strKeyNext
objDictionary.Remove("Printer 2")colKeys = objDictionary.Keys
Wscript.Echo VbCrLf & "Second run: "For Each strKey in colKeys Wscript.Echo strKeyNext
4) List the Number of Items in a Dictionary
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
objDictionary.Add "Printer 1", "Printing" objDictionary.Add "Printer 2", "Offline"objDictionary.Add "Printer 3", "Printing"Wscript.Echo objDictionary.Count
5) Verify the Existence of a Dictionary Key
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
objDictionary.Add "Printer 1", "Printing" objDictionary.Add "Printer 2", "Offline"objDictionary.Add "Printer 3", "Printing"
If objDictionary.Exists("Printer 4") Then Wscript.Echo "Printer 4 is in the Dictionary."Else Wscript.Echo "Printer 4 is not in the Dictionary."End If
