Material Prepared by Sriraman K
Objectives
• Automation – Need for automation, Rules of
automation
• Exposure to the Automation Concepts and Kick
start the learning of one of the leading tool QTP
2
Need of Automation
• Speed – Automation Scripts run very fast when
compared to human users
• Reliable – Tests perform precisely the same operations
each time they are run, there by eliminating human error.
• Repeatable – We can test how the application reacts after
repeated execution of the same operation
• Comprehensive – We can build a suite of tests that
covers every feature in our application
• Reusable – We can reuse tests on different versions of an
application, even if the user interface changes.
3
Rules of Automation
Testing Tools are usually very expensive.
The test manager or the test lead has to
think twice before going in for automating
his test effort. There are also some widely
held false notions or beliefs about
automation tools.
In general, the golden rules that should be
kept in mind in the regard are.
4
Golden Rules
• Product feature understanding, test planning, test case
documentation, test bed setup, defect tracking,
progression tests are all done in manual mode
• Test automation success depends on robustness of the
test cases not on the test tool.
• Every manual step has commands in test scripts
• If it is not worth, DO NOT AUTOMATE.
• Do not build application logic in your test scripts
• Always have a common know base state for test cases
• One test script Action must address one test case.

Course Objective
• Object Spy
• Object Identification
– Understanding customizing Non – Standard Objects
– Understanding Way of Recognition
•
•
•
•
Object Repository
Simple Record and Replay
Types of Record – Context Sensitive, Analog, Low Level Record
Managing Script with Various Data
– Parameters (DataTable)
• VB Scripting (String Manipulation, Msgbox, Split command, InStr,
Loops, Conditions)
• Managing Script with Dynamic Objects
– Regular Expression
– Smart Identification
• Check Points – Standard, Bitmap, Text
13
Object SpyObject spy is used to display or view all the physical properties and
methods of an object.
14
Object Identification•
•
Used to Map non Standard Object to Standard
Object
Used to configure Recognition properties for an
object class.
– Recognition properties are configured using
•
•
•
Mandatory Properties
Assistive properties (are used when mandatory property fails to
recognize the object uniquely)
Ordinal Identifier (are used when both mandatory and assistive fails
to recognize the object uniquely)
–
–
–
Location (Represent x- coordinate of the screen or parent object Nearest to x is
0)
Index (Works based on active screen – active screen being 0 by default)
Creation Time (For web browsers, no. of instances decides the creation time)
15
Object Repository• Stores the object for the purpose of playing
back
• Uses Logical Name and Description properties
to recognize the object from script and
application respectively
• Description Properties are created through
Object Identification
• Repository can be managed using Per Action
mode (.mtr File) and Shared Repository Mode
(.tsr File) by the script
16
Object Repository Dialog Box-
17
Recording Modes •
Three Modes of Recording
–
–
Context Sensitive or Normal Recording – Uses the object class
and properties and method to perform action.
Analog Recording – Understands only the key or mouse
movements
–
–
–
Relative to the screen: Desktop.RunAnalog “Track1”
Relative to the window: Window(<<objName>>).RunAnalog “Track1”
Low Level Recording – Understand the x and y coordinate of
the within the object on which the action is performed.
• Object(<<ObjName>>).Click (22,45)

Virtual Object•
Virtual Object is used to identify the
properties of similar objects in a particular
Area.
Example: In normal recording if we select the paint
brush window, the script will look like thiswindow(“Paint”).Activate
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Click 72,16
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Click 80,14
window(“Paint”).Close
If we are using Virtual object, the script will look like thiswindow(“Paint”).Activate
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Virtual Button(“RED”)
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Virtual Button(“BLUE”)
window(“Paint”).Close
23

Test Parameter
Test Parameter
– Constant (Test Parameter can be configured only through Action Parameter)
•
Environment Parameter
– Build In
– User Defined
25
Action Parameter
• Action Parameter
– To create an Action Parameter – Go to Action, Right
Click, Select Action Properties and give Default value
to be used.
– To Modify Action Parameter default value – Go to
Action, Right Click, Select Action Call Properties and
select the parameter for which modification is needed,
select value column and click on configure value
button under value.
– To control the iteration of Action Sheet, Go to Action,
Right Click, Select Action call properties and Run tab
26
Test Parameter &Environment
• Test Parameter
– File->Setting->Parameter Tab
– Only constant value can be used
– To use the test parameter in the script, Test parameter
needs to configured to action parameter.
• Environment Parameter
– File->Setting->Environment Tab
– Build in and User defined parameters
– To use the environment in other machines, use export
and import under environment parameter tab
27
Setting the Parameter Value-
28
Using Data Sheet (Global, Local &
Location)-
29
Multiple Actions
• How to Create New Actions?
– Creating as Independent Action (Call to New action, Select “at
the end of test” radio button)
– Creating as Nested Action (Call to new action, Select “After the
current test” radio button)
• Dependent Action – One action depends on another
action for want of data
– Using Datatable Output Value
– Using Output Parameter Output Value
– Output value
• Select the object from active screen, Right click, Select output
value
• At Recording time Select from menu Insert->Output Value>Standard Output value
30
Reusable Actions
• How to make an action as Reusable Action?
• Passing Parameters for Reusable Action
– Using Input Parameters
– Using Output Parameters
• SystemUtil Commands
• .Exist Command
• Syntex of Reusable Action
– RunAction “ActionName[ScriptName]”,
One/Alliteration, Parameters(optional)
31
Dynamic Objects• What is Dynamic Object?
• When we can say, the object is dynamic?
• Ways to Solve those dynamic objects
– SetTOProperty
• Parent().Object(“Logical”).SetTOProperty “propertyName”,
Value
– Regular Expression
– Repository Parameter
– Smart Identification
• What is Smart Identification?
– It is a second level of Recognition Mechanism to recognize an
object when it is failed using Description properties
– It is not a permanent method to solve a dynamic object – It is an
indication to the user that the object is not managed using
description properties
32
Regular Expressions• This can be used where there is a pattern of Change.
Regular Expressions can be used in the following areas:
1) Check Points
2) In parameterization
3) Data Driven test
4) Actions
5) Exception Handling….etc
33
Using a Regular Expression-
34
Some Regular ExpressionsExpression
Char
Description
Period
.
Matches any single character
Asterisk
*
Matches zero to any number of occurrences of the
preceding character
Plus
+
Matches one to any number of occurrences of the
preceding character
Brackets
[A-Z][a-z]
Matches a range of characters
[0-9]
Matches a range of numbers
\w
Matches any alphanumeric character including
underscore
\W
Matches any non-alphanumeric character
\d
Matches any digit
\d{4}
Matches exactly four digits
Digit
35
Smart Identification• Smart Identification is used as Second level of
recognition mechanism. When the Quick test fails to
recognize the object through description properties, it
tries to identify the object using Smart identification.
By invoking smart identification, system takes more time than
usual time so if an object is identified in smart identification
method then that object needs to be attended
Two properties are available in Smart identification
They areBase Filter Properties (This property has to match)
Optional Filter Properties (Atleast one of the property should be
unique)
36
Synchronization Point• Synchronization point maintains the time coordination
between testing process and your application process.
• Types of Synchronization
–
–
–
–
Sync
Wait
WaitProperty
Exist
37
Check Points•
Check Point is a verification point that
compares the current value of the specified
property with the expected value for that
property.

42
Exception Handling•
It enables Quick test to detect and handle when
unexpected error occurred during execution time.
•
Types of Exception Handling:
