What is QTP
 QTP stands for QuickTest Professional
 It is an automated testing tool provided by
HP/Mercury Interactive
 QTP integrates with other Mercury testing solutions
including:
• TestDirector/Quality Center
• WinRunner
• LoadRunner
 Utilizes an add-in architecture for compactness and
extensibility

Types of Testing
 Manual
• Usage of steps defined within test cases to
manually test the application to ensure that it
functions properly
 Automated
• Automation of the manual testing process to all
unattended execution and ensure repeatability

What Should Be Automated
 Good candidates
• Tests executed for each build
• Business critical tests
• Tests that are difficult/tedious to perform manually
 Bad candidates
• Tests without predictable results
• Test that require variable input/responses from the
tester
• Tests that perform operations in multiple
environments

Which Test Cases to Automate?
 Tests that need to be run for every build of the
application (sanity check, regression test)
 Tests that use multiple data values for the same actions
(data driven tests)
 Stress/load testing
 Tests requiring a great deal of precision

QTP – An Introduction
 Quick Test Professional is the flagship functional testing tool
from Mercury Interactive.
 It is an icon based tool, which automates the functional &
regression testing of an application.
 QTP is easier to use and implement for both technical & non
technical testers in comparison to other functional testing tools
available.
 The new version of HP QTP is being called HP Unified
Functional Testing 11.5 (UFT 11.5). UFT 11.5 is actually a
combination of HP QTP (for testing GUI) and HP Service Test
(for testing API).

Leading Available Automation Tools

Salient Features
 Scripting Language is VBScript which is easy to use ,
understand and program even complex functionalities
with ease..
 Uses “Active Screen” technology to record scripts
which aids the tester in referring to the screens object
properties.
 Library files contains VBScript functions and
subroutines that can be added to the test.
 Support Modern Development Environment.


QTP Environment
 Windows
• C++, Visual Basic, Java, .NET
 Web
• Web Applications, Web services
 Other technologies
• SAP, Siebel, Oracle, Peoplesoft, ActiveX

Add-in Architecture
 Enables QTP to provide support for multiple technologies.
 Add-ins are software that need to be installed on a system
that has QTP. It then becomes integrated with the QTP
environment.
 QTP is sold with the ability to understand a few technologies,
add-ins provide QTP with the ability to understand
additional technologies
 Users are able to select the specific add-ins for the
technologies they are testing thereby reducing the memory
footprint of QTP

QTP Add-ins
 When QTP is started, you should select only the add-ins for
technologies that are used with your application.
 Some of the available add-ins are
• ActiveX - For testing software written using ActiveX (also
known as COM) technology. This technology allows people
to create objects in one language and use those objects
within other languages/applications
• Visual Basic - For applications written in the Visual Basic
language
• Web - For testing web applications written in any language.
In web applications, we interact with the application though
a web browser and so the web application can be written in
any language.

What is a QTP Test
 It is called a test script but is actually a
folder containing several files
 Broken down into subparts known as
'Actions‘
 Internally represented using the VBScript
programming language

Actions
 A test is broken into a series of ‘Actions’
• Actions can be renamed to reflect what they do
• Actions can be invoked multiple times within a
test
• Actions can be marked as reusable so they can be
called from other tests
 Only reusable actions can be called from other tests
reusable actions can be called from other

 Menus
 Toolbar
• Provides easy access to items on the menus
 Record & Run Settings

Overview QTP Tool

QTP Tool [Code Window]
 Provides a WYSIWYG editor to use in writing your test script
o Keyboard view
• Provides an icon-based representation of the code being
written. This is often the easiest code view for non-
programmers
o Expert View
• Provides a VBScript code based representation of the
code being written. This is the most flexible code

QTP Tool [Views]
 Active Screen
• Provides screenshots of all objects recorded and
also supports object highlighting
 Data Table
• Shows the data file that can be used to configure
the application
 Debug Viewer
• Provides tools to debug code and view the
value of variable/expression during code
execution

Create Object Repository [STEP 1]
 Intro to Object Oriented Programming
o Objects are a representation of every item found in an
application
o Objects are visual (e.g. Button, Textbox) and non-visual
(e.g. Dictionary, Reporter) elements within an application.
Each object has the following elements
• Properties, Methods & Events
o All objects must have a unique name and belong to a class.
o Objects are referenced in code using dot notation
objectName.Method()

Objects
 Properties
• These are characteristics of the object e.g. the text on a button.
QTP uses this to recognize the object
 Methods
• These are built in functionality of the object. The VBScript code
that we write (or record) actually makes calls to the methods of
an object e.g. Reporter.ReportEvent() Here ReportEvent is the
method of the Reporter object
 Events
• These are what can be done to an object. This is used by
programmers to determine what an object does in response to an
action you perform. It is however unused in QTP.

Objects

QTP Object Identification Process
 Object Identification
• The tool determines what properties of objects
are recorded
 Object Spy
• Allows users to view the property of an object
without recording it
 Object Repository
• Holds information recorded about each object
allowing the test to identify the object during
execution

Creating an Object Repository
 Per Action
• An object repository is created for each action
• This means that multiple object repositories
can be created per test
 Shared
• A single object repository is used for multiple
tests

CREATE TEST [STEP 2]
 Record Steps
 Edit
• Insert synchronization points
• Insert checkpoints
• Insert output values
• Parameterize values
• Include VBScript code

Record
 Read the outline of steps to perform
 Practice performing the steps to minimize
error
 Choose record mode
• Context Sensitive
• Analog
• Low level
 RECORD
 Stop, Save test, playback

Edit Test
 Insert synchronization points
• Used to slow down execution of a test script
 Checkpoints
• Used to check expected value of a step against the
actual value at a specific point during execution
 Insert output values
• Used to retrieve values from the AUT
 Insert Parameterization
• Allows you to store data in the data table
 Include VB Script code
• Last option. Very powerful.

Synchronization Point
 Specific time
• Uses the wait function to pause the test for a
specific amount of time [in seconds]
 Until an event occurs
• Pauses until a specific property of an object has a
specific value
 A synchronization point is a line in the test script that
instructs QTP to wait for a certain response from the
application during playback.

How to Add Synchronization Points
 Locate the lines in the script to insert the synchronization
point
 In Quick Test choose Insert > Step > Synchronization
Point. The mouse pointer turns into a pointing hand. This
should be done while recording.
 Using the Hand Pointer click on the object to Synchronize.
 Add Synchronization Point dialog box opens.

Check Points in QTP
• A checkpoint verifies that expected
information is displayed in your
application while the test is running.

Checkpoints
 Standard
• Checks multiple properties of a single object
 Text
• Checks part or all the text within an object
 Text Area
• Checks part or all the text within a text area object
 Bitmap
• Checks the visual layout of an entire object or a portion of the
object
 Database
• Checks data in the database
 Accessibility
• Checks web content accessibility against W3C accessibility rules
for the disabled
 XML
• Checks files using XML rules

Inserting Check Points
Right Click the object and select Insert
Checkpoint.

Output values
 Standard
• Stores a single property of an object in the data table
 Text
• Stores part or all the text of an object in the data table
 Text Area
• Stores the content of a text area in the data table
 Database
• Retrieves content from a database [using a SQL query] and
stores it in the data table
 XML
• Retrieves content from an XML file and store it in the data
table

Parameterize Data
 Allows your test to read data from the data table.
 The data table is an Excel spreadsheet file editable
from using Excel or any other application that can edit
a .xls document
 The DataTable is encapsulated in QTP in the
DataTable object. This object contains a sheet for every
action in the test as well as a globally accessible sheet
known as the global sheet
 Each sheet in the DataTable contains several columns
and rows.
 The columns can be renamed by double-clicking on
the header of the column.

Why Parameterization ?
 Parameterization allows us to pick different values at
run time.
 Reduces Time and Effort.
 Usage of data drivers allow us to use the same data for
various input boxes.
 Parameterization can also be done for checkpoints.

Global and Action Data Sheets
 The Data Table contains two types of sheets:
 Global sheet: This enables you to share information from one
action to another. Should be used for data drivers and Output
Values.
 Action Sheet: Each action also has its own sheet in the Data
Table so that you can insert data that applies only to that action.
 When there are parameters in a current action’s sheet, you can
set Quick Test to run one or more iterations on that action before
continuing with the current global iteration of the test.

VBScript Coding
 When the tools provided by QTP are not sufficient
to test an application, VBScript coding can be
used.
 VBScript was created as a web programming
language by Microsoft and licensed by many
companies for use in their tools.

VBScript Coding
Analyzing Test Results

Test Results Window

Test Results
 Test Results Tree - an icon-based view of the steps that
were performed while the test was running. Similar to
the test tree in Quick Test main screen
 Iteration Summary – Provides the Status (pass/Fail) of
each iteration individually.
 Status Summary - Indicates the number of checkpoints
or reports that passed, failed, and raised warnings
during the test.

Integration of Winrunner, QTP & Test Director

Why Integrate QTP ?
 With Win Runner
 Facilitates running Win Runner tests and call TSL
functions in compiled modules with parameters by
creating calls to Win Runner tests and functions.
 With Test Director (TD)
 TD, Mercury Interactive test management tool, can help
you organize and control the testing process. It provides
an intuitive and efficient method for scheduling and
running tests, collecting test results, analyzing the results,
and managing test versions.

QTP & WinRunner
 QTP can easily be integrated with Win Runner, Test
Director and Load Runner.
 If the Winrunner is already installed and being used, then
QTP can be added without the loss of Winrunner scripts.
 Quick Test Pro will be able to call Win Runner Scripts.
 A single test can contain both Winrunner & QTP scripts.

Advantages of QTP over other Functional Automation tools
 Easy to use, icon based scripts. Easier for non technical
testers to learn.
 Usage of VBScript language for scripting which is very
powerful ,has lots of capabilities and can program even
complex functionalities with ease.
 The active screen technology allows the person writing
script to pick-up values that may have been left out
during recording. This helps to reduce re-work for
scripting.

Advantages of QTP over other Functional Automation tools
 Supports .Net, XML and other modern Environments.
 Test Run Iterations/Data driven testing is much easier
and better implemented with QTP. Capturing output
values add data driven testing more kick and
flexibility.
 Provides ability to trap exceptions and handle them
using inbuilt functions or user defined ones.

Recap
 Checkpoints - check
 Synchronization points - wait
 Output values – retrieve information
 Parameterization – configuration data
 VBScript – adds programmable logic
