QTP GetROproperty and GetTOproperty

I usually get many queries on GetROproperty and GetTOproperty method in QTP. So here I have tried to describe GetROproperty and GetTOproperty methods with very simple and practical examples which will be really helpful for you guys to increase you QTP knowledge and overcome your doubts.

To understand GetROproperty and GetTOproperty methods practically just follow below steps:

1.       Start recording on QTP.

2.       Open Google.com page

3.       Click on “Google Search” button.

4.       The script will looks like following,

SystemUtil.Run "http://google.com/","","",""

Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").Click

Browser("Google").Close

5. To use “GetROproperty” Now modify the second statement to following,

Msgbox Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").GetROproperty(“name”)

6. Now run the above script, You will get msgbox which contains “Google Search” in it.

GetROproperty: This property is used to get the property of the object during runtime from the UI. In our case GetROproperty gets property of “name” object of “Google Search” webbutton.

7. Now copy the above statement and modify it to following,

Msgbox Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").GetTOproperty(“name”)

8. Now close your browser and comment out other code except above statement.

9. Run only above GetTOproperty statement. You will again get msgbox which contains “Google Search” in it.

GetTOproperty: This property is used to get the property of the object during runtime from the Object repository. In our case GetTOproperty gets property of “name” object of “Google Search” webbutton which is already stored in QTP object repository.

Now hope you are more clear regarding GetROproperty and GetTOproperty methods in QTP. You are always welcome to share your thoughts or doubts in QTP.

Descriptive programming in QTP

noreply@blogger.com (NIL) — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 00:42:00 +0000

Descriptive programming in QTP.

Descriptive programming is the smartest way for automation in QTP.

Descriptive programming in QTP is much different from simple record and play method.

Following are some important points regarding descriptive programming in QTP.

It doesn’t require recording the page and so no need worry about object repository.
You can optimize your code.
Before starting descriptive programming you need to know about object properties and their values, using object spy you can see each object’s properties.

Let’s learn descriptive programming in qtp in a very simple and practical way.

I have given 3 different examples which uses different method for automation in QTP.

Using object repository method: Example 1

Following QTP script is the simple example of record and play method.

SystemUtil.Run "http://google.com/","","",""

Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebEdit("q").Set"quicklearnqtp"

Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebEdit("q").Submit

Browser("Google").Close

Now, you want to write above script in descriptive programming. For that you need to get all object properties using “object spy” tool. E.g Browser is the parent object and its property is “Name=Google” and Page is the child object whose property is “Title=Google”.

Now understand following example which is the combination of “record & play” and “descriptive programming” method. You can say hybrid programming.

Hybrid programming: Example 2

SystemUtil.Run "http://google.com/","","",""

Browser("name:=Google.*").Page("title:=Google").WebEdit("q").Set"quicklearnqtp"

Browser("name:=Google.*").Page("title:=Google").WebEdit("q").Submit

Browser("name:=Google.*").Close

Note: Don’t copy and paste and try to run above examples because it requires object repository to execute.

Now at this point you may be very well aware of hybrid programming (combination of descriptive programming and using object repository method).

Following is the example of pure descriptive programming in QTP which you can copy and paste to QTP (Tested with QTP 10 and IE 8) and can execute it.

Descriptive programming in QTP: Example 3

'Variable declaration

Dim GoogleBrowser

Dim GooglePage

Set GoogleBrowser=Browser("name:=Google.*")

Set GooglePage=GoogleBrowser.Page("title:=Google.*")

'URL

URL="http://www.google.com"

SystemUtil.run "iexplore",URL

'Write 'quicklearnqtp' in search box

GooglePage.WebEdit("name:=q","type:=text","html tag:=INPUT").Set "quicklearnqtp"

'Click on Google Search

GooglePage.WebButton("name:=Google Search","index:=0","type:=submit","html tag:=INPUT").Click

'Close browser

GoogleBrowser.CloseAllTabs

I hope you gained a lot on descriptive programming technique from this post.I will provide more real time examples and details on descriptive programming in QTP in my next post. Let me know your inputs on descriptive programming in QTP and share your feedback.

QTP 10 vs QTP 11

noreply@blogger.com (NIL) — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 02:08:00 +0000

QTP 10 vs QTP 11

QTP 11 is now available in market. There are many updates in QTP 11 with compare to QTP 10. Following are some features which are new in QTP 11 compare to QTP 10.

QTP 10 version was able to identify object through normal object identification method only where QTP11 is able to identify the object in following different ways:

Normal object identification ( Like QTP10)
Using XPath - XPath tutorial
Using CSS - CSS tutorial

Selenium (Open source WEB UI automation tool) experts will be aware of XPath and CSS method to recognize the objects, I will describe about XPath and CSS object identification method soon in this blog. These methods will make life simpler for QTP 11 users.

In QTP 11, results viewer have been improved to pie charts, statics for both current and previous test runs, summary page.

Support for recording using Firefox is now available which will be really helpful.

Normal object identification method has been updated with “Visual Relation Identifier” in addition to “ordinal identifier” features in which object identification which will depend on relation to neighboring objects and will be helpful to overcome weakness of ordinal identification feature only in QTP10.

“LoadFunctionLibrary” statement in QTP 11 will be helpful to load function library at any step of runs instead of starting of run.

Automatically parameterize steps feature will be available in QTP 11.

New Sliverlight Add-in is supported to test objects in sliverlight 2 and silverlight 3 applications.

Extend WPF and Silverlight support.

Regular expression creation will be very easy in QTP 11.

Now you can test GUI and UI-Less application functionality in one test with QTP 11.

Avoid downtime due to license server failures.

Web 2.0 toolkit applications support.

You are always welcome to share your thoughts on QTP 10 vs QTP 11 features and to give your valuable feedback.

Object repository types in QTP

noreply@blogger.com (NIL) — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 19:19:00 +0000

Object repository types in QTP

I have been asked many times about doubts regarding object repository types and their extensions in QTP, most learners are confused between local object repository, shared object repository and per action repository. Here I have tried to explain object repository types in QTP.

I am sharing following information depending on my own QTP experience, I may be wrong but I will try my best to share the true knowledge what I have.

There are basically two types of object repository.

· Local object repository
· Shared object repository

Local object repository:

Local object repository is the object repository which is specific to QTP test (for e.g. test1) and not available for another QTP test (e.g. test2).

The extension of Local object repository is .bdb (berkley data base), lots of people considered .mtr as local object repository. But let’s verify and clear the confusion between local object repository extension (.bdb or .mtr) by following simple steps.

1.       Create one QTP test.
2.       Record some web page and store the QTP test file.
3.       Copy and rename Action1->ObjectRepository.bdb file to MyRepository.tsr
4.       Open QTP and open MyRepository.tsr file through Resources->Object Repository Manager.
5.       Now you can see the objects recorded by you.

Note: Using above steps we can conclude that .bdb is the local object repository. In above steps we made local object repository to shared object repository by changing its extension from .bdb to .tsr so that we can view the objects from .bdb file.

Shared object repository

Shared object repository is the global object repository which we can use for any QTP test by associating it. We have already covered associating shared object repository to any QTP test. The extension of shared object repository is .tsr. (test shared repository).

.mtr (module test repository) is the extension of per action repository which contains checkpoints and other stuffs. It is a binary file. If you have more practical knowledge regarding .mtr you are always welcome to share.

All QTP experts are welcome to share their thoughts on object repository types in QTP.

How does QTP identify objects

noreply@blogger.com (NIL) — Mon, 31 May 2010 09:10:00 +0000

How does QTP identify objects?

This is the very basic question that normally comes in everyone’s mind, So In today’s post I am going to explain about How QTP identifies or recognizes the object.

As you all are aware that all the objects are stored in Object Repository (OR).

Let’s take one simple example to understand the QTP indentifying concept in a better way, following is the one sentence recorded by QTP which clicks on “Google Search” button on Google home page.

Browser(" Google ").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").Click

Now you can see in below figure that object named “Google Search” is stored in OR and its parent object is “Google”.

QTP identifies the object mainly based on two following properties.

1. Mandatory Property

2. Assistive Property

In right bottom side, you can see Description properties for Google parent object, for “Google Search” child object the description properties can be following,

1. Name = Web Search

2. HTML tag = INPUT

3. Type = Submit

Now, For “Google Search” web button the Mandatory properties are “Name” and “HTML tag”, these two properties are enough to identify the object. If QTP fails to identify the objet than Assistive Property will come in to picture. For “Google Search” object “Type” is one of the assistive properties.

Normally using Mandatory and Assistive property QTP identifies the object.

Now, let’s assume one scenario where the same object (Google Search) appears at two different areas on the same webpage. Will QTP still able to identify the object? Yes you guess right!!! QTP again fails to recognize the object. In such situation Ordinal identifier play the crucial role to identify the object. During recording itself QTP assigns index to 0 for first object and index to 1 for second object. Thus, in this way QTP recognize the two different objects having same properties.

At last if nothing works than QTP uses Smart Identification method to recognize or identifies the object in QTP. This mechanism uses base filter properties or optional filter properties to identify the object in QTP whenever normal identification using Mandatory and assistive properties fails because of runtime changes in properties of object.

If you are not familiar with basics of software testing then first clear the picture in your mind.
Also get knowledge on test automation , different testing tools available in market, comparison of GUI Testing tools and different types of frameworks in automation.
Now you are ready to learn QTP, So first download demo version of QTP 10.0.
Learn step by step that How to record and develop the script in QTP, different types of checkpoints in qtp and how to create checkpoints in qtp.
Take some reference of QTP scripts examples and develop some small scripts.
Now its time to learn VB script first then go back to gain further knowledge in QTP.
Learn very much important Object repository concepts in qtp.
Learn handling of webtable in qtp, data table in qtp, ordinal identifier in qtp, environment variable in qtp.
Now you have enough information about QTP to start doing live projects also do lots of practice by developing small projects so that you can develop sound confidence in QTP.
By this time you will be having enough knowledge on different types of objects and properties in qtp and how QTP identifies the objects now its time to get advance knowledge in qtp like How to do programming in QTP without using object repository? the answer is YES, learn basics of descriptive programming-I, descriptive programming-II.
Also learn how to add object repository through QTP scripting, run qtp test through command line which will be very helpful in live qtp projects.
Now finally whenever you completes development in qtp, you will need to perform regression testing which will prove robustness and reliability of your QTP scripts. So for that develop your own regression testing framework in QTP.
QTP help is the best qtp tutorial forever that you can use along with you can take help of following websites and blogs for best practical knowledge on qtp.

If you follow all this information sincerely you don't need to join any QTP training classes, I have provided all required information on QTP tutorials, you all are always welcome to share your important inputs so that our friends can get best knowledge out of that.

Sendkeys method in QTP

noreply@blogger.com (NIL) — Mon, 10 May 2010 11:28:00 +0000

Sendkeys method in qtp with examples:
Sendkeys method is like boon for QTP testers, In some cases QTP tool becomes dumb and not able to identify or record the windows based application, In that case rather than not doing anything we can still automate it using sendkeys method. You can send any character to application to perform specific action i.e If you want to close the notepad then you can do it by sending,
1. ALT+F and
2. X.
Or
only ALT+F4

In QTP how can we perform this action? Let's take one simple and practical example.

Following is the simple example which perform closing notepad action using sendkeys method in qtp.
==============================
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "%f"
wait 3
WshShell.SendKeys "x"
wait 3
Set WshShell = Nothing
==============================
OR
==============================
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wait 2
WshShell.SendKeys "%{F4}"
wait 3
Set WshShell = Nothing
==============================
In above example you can see that I have sent "ALT+F" by "%f", The special character for ALT is "%" same for SHIFT is "+" and for CTRL is "^".
But make sure that active window must be notepad not the QTP itself otherwise you may end up with closing QTP.
So Keep in mind that whenever you are sending any key you first need to activate the specific application on which you want to send the keystroke or want to perform some action. You can also use some QTP scripting in combination with sendkey method which can make your application more reliable and robust.

Following is the example of QTP scripting and sendkeys method combination, In following simple example I first make my player window active and then sending SPACE to play or pause the file.
===================
Window("FLVPlayer").Activate //This statement is recorded by QTP which activate the player window first.
wait 3
WshShell.SendKeys " " //To play or pause the stream
wait 2
===================

In following table you will find all keys and their argument that you may need.

Name of Key	Argument
BACKSPACE	{BACKSPACE}, {BS}, or {BKSP}
BREAK	{BREAK}
CAPS LOCK {CAPSLOCK}	{CAPSLOCK}
DEL or DELETE	{DEL}
DOWN ARROW	{DOWN}
END	{END}
ENTER	{ENTER} or ~
ESC	{ESC}
HELP	{HELP}
HOME	{HOME}
INS or INSERT	{INSERT} or {INS}
LEFT ARROW	{LEFT}
NUM LOCK	{NUMLOCK}
PAGE DOWN	{PGDN}
PAGE UP	{PGUP}
PRINT SCREEN	{PRTSC}
RIGHT ARROW	{RIGHT}
SCROLL LOCK	{SCROLLLOCK}
TAB	{TAB}
UP ARROW	{UP}
Y 10 times	{Y 10}
Space	" "
plus sign	"+"
caret	"^"
percent sign	"%"
tilde	"~"

Note: To send SPACE you can use " " as a argument. I have taken above table from QTP help you can look in to QTP help for more details.

Other than sendkeys method in QTP you can also use AutoIT tool for more advance automation. AutoIT v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the windows GUI and general scripting. You can write autoIT script for automating your application and can trigger autoIT script through QTP. You can visit and learn more about AutoIT v3 and widen the area of automation to the next level.

QTP automation Test Planning

noreply@blogger.com (NIL) — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 08:00:00 +0000

QTP automation Test Planning:

Hello Friends, Before starting any new project with QTP, Please keep in mind some points so that you can easily accomplish your automation project in minimum time and effort. Today I am going to share my practical experience in Automation project planning with QTP.

1 QTP Test Planning Before Recording:
You can plan your QTP test in following ways but before that you must have Object repository concept clear in you mind:
Way:1- If you have 4 automation developer than, you will have 4 QTP Test projects and in future you need to merge these 4 projects, so try to avoid this methodology because when you merge 4 QTP test projects there will be many objects that can conflict ( Object conflicts means same object name [with same or different properties] in two or more QTP test recorded on different webpages ) and leads to re-recording and re-working stuffs.

Way:2- Maintain only one Shared object repository accross all QTP Test projects, the only drawback of this way is only one person can do a recording at a time so here all 4 developers will be dependent on each other. Once the recording of one developer is completed He/She can export all objects in shared object repository and then second developer can use that latest shared object repository and can go ahead with his recording stuffs and so on.

Way:3- If you want to avoid each other developers dependency and also If there are more developers than way-2 becomes difficult to manage. When any developers record the object using QTP, QTP automatically gives the object name here in this method developers need to re-name the object (Should be unique) in object repository and same in script thus you can avoid object conflics in future If you plan to merge all QTP Test in one QTP Test project.

2 Recording With QTP:
While recording follow the steps you expect users to perform as they move within your webpage or application.If you are beginner in QTP visit here: QTP Scripts example for beginner

3 Enhance and Modifying your recorded script.

Add checkpoints to search for specific values of a page,text string,table or image.
You can create output values to retrieve data during run time.
You can use regular expressions to increase the flexibility and can avoid redundant script.

You can further enhance your test script with programming and conditional and loop statements(If Else...End If, For Loop..etc), which add logic to your test script.
You divide your scripts in function and Subroutine so that your script will become more modular and generic.
If you want to perform basic operation like File,Folder delete,Create,copy etc. You can perform it through vbscripting. Visit File system object in QTP for more information.

4 Debugging your script with QTP.

Debug your test script to check that it operates smoothly and without interruption.You can check the value of variables at run time using debug viewer pane.The Debug Viewer pane contains the Watch, Variables, and Command tabs. Please look in to the QTP help for more information on debugging.
Once your script is developed and tested try to put it for regression test as much as you can, In this way you can make your script more stable and reliable. If you want to know more about QTP regression framework you can visit here and can modify the framework according to your requirement.

Please share your practical experience and thoughts so that we together can share our friends best knowledge in the automation test planning in QTP.

QTP - Image Capture in QTP

noreply@blogger.com (NIL) — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:37:00 +0000

Image Capture in QTP:

Followings is the method to capture any image from webpage:

MyObject.CaptureBitmap "Image.bmp"

Following are the steps that you need to perform to use capturebitmap method,

Record the image that you need to capture. i.e If you want to capture the "google" fromg google homepage than you just need to click on that image.
After clicking, you will get one line of code like following,
Browser("Google").Page("Google").Image("Google").click
Modify above line of code to following,
Browser("Google").Page("Google").CaptureBitmap "C:\GoogleImage.bmp

And execute it, you will get "Google" image in "GoogleImage.bmp" file under "c:" directory.

If you want to capture whole screen of desktop, that also you can do using this method, following is the example to achieve it,

Desktop.CaptureBitmap "c:\DesktopImage.bmp"
You can also save Image .Png format using capturebitmap method in QTP.

QTP Object Exist or Not - GetROProperty

noreply@blogger.com (NIL) — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:48:00 +0000

QTP object exist or not - GetROProperty method
Friends, After long time I am back with more QTP stuffs which will help you all to easy your QTP automation work. Today I am going to share some knowledge on verification of QTP object existence in detail.

As I already discussed in my post How to know qtp object exists or not, that how to verify that particular object present or not in web page. This post is very helpful for you because in some cases you can use this method as alternative to QTP checkpoints and these methods are more reliable compare to checkpoints for regression testing. In this post I had written about Object.exist() method. I observed that some times this method doesn't give accurate output. Today I will talk about GetRoproperty method to verify object existence.

Let's take one example with object.exist() method first, than will talk about GetRoProperty, Following example will check whether "Google Search" button on Google homepage is exist or not.

Following is the example with exist method,

If (Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").exist) then
Msgbox “object exists”
Else
Msgbox “object doesn’t exist”
End if

Now same example with GetROProperty method,

If (Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").GetROproperty("x") then
Msgbox “object exists”
Else
Msgbox “object doesn’t exist”
End if

You can also use above method in following way,

If (Browser("Google").Page("Google").WebButton("Google Search").GetROproperty("visible")="True") then
Msgbox “object exists”
Else
Msgbox “object doesn’t exist”
End if

Thus, using Object.exist() and Object.GetRoProperty methods you can verify object existence easily.

Regression testing framework in QTP

QTP is the best tool for regression testing.

First of all you must know what is regression testing and how it will be helpful to your project, regression testing is nothing but repetition of the test cycle again and again whenever new bug fixing or new functionality is added to project. So thus you can test your product and can find new bug easily in minimum amount of time.

I am going to give you example of regression testing framework and its development procedure which will be very much helpful for you in context to regression testing using qtp.

Regression testing framework development procedure:

1. Embed your one test case to different sub procedure. For e.g

Sub TC_001

--recorded script 1--

End sub

Sub TC_002

--recorded script 2--

End sub

2. Now save all above test case scripts in VBS file.

You can do so by going, File->New->Function Library and then paste all test case script here and save it in VBS format.

3. Now call sub procedure from your main qtp test project file. For e.g.

For i=0 to 100

TC_001
TC_002
TC_003

next

In above case test cycle will be repeated by 100 times. You can change it according to your needs.

4. Now last but not the least, don’t forget to attach vbs file to your qtp test project.

Go to File->setting and the resource tab, than add vbs file by clicking on “+” sign and click ok.

So this is the simple regression frame work that you can implement for your project.

You can also develop regression frame work in vb script according to your project requirement.

You are always welcome to share your experience on this post regression testing framework in qtp.
