 QTP Testing Process
Quick Test testing process consists of 7 main phases

1. Preparing to record
– Test Environment
– Test Conditions
2. Recording a session on your application
– Navigate according to Test Conditions
3. Enhancing your test
– Adding logic and conditional statements
– Parameterization
– Inserting checkpoints
4. Debugging your test
– Check that it operates smoothly and without interruption.

5. Run Test
– Check the behavior of your application

6. Analyzing the test results

 Recording Modes
1. Normal recording
– Records the objects in your application and the operations performed on them.
This mode is the default and takes full advantage of Quick Test’s test object
model.

2. Analog Recording
– Record the exact mouse and keyboard operations you perform in relation to
either the screen or the application window.

3. Low-Level Recording
– Record on any object in your application, whether or not Quick Test
recognizes the specific object or the specific operation.

 Enhancing Tests

1. Parameterizing Test
2. Regular Expressions
3. Creating Checkpoints
4. Creating Output Values
5. Dividing Tests into Multiple Actions

 Parameterizing Tests
To run the scenario with multiple sets of data.

Steps for Parameterization

1. Defining a Data Table Parameter
2. Adding Parameter Values to a Data Table
3. Modifying Steps Affected by Parameterization
4. Running and Analyzing a Parameterized Test

 Regular Expressions
• Regular expressions enable Quick Test to identify Objects and text
strings with varying values.

• User has to identify the data projected to be change, like dates, so to

accepts any dates, user can use regular expression.
Example :
Actual Date format :
05/19/2004 (mm/dd/yyyy)
After Regular Expression:
[0-1][0-9]/[0-3][0-9]/200[0-9]

 Creating Output Values
• This is just reverse to the Parameterization, In
this case QTP takes the data from the application
and displays the same in the Data Table.

 Transactions

• A transaction represents the business process that you are interested

in measuring

• You can measure how long it takes to run a section of your test by
defining transactions.

• User can Plan the Scenario as transaction and use the Start
Transaction and End Transaction while Recording.

 Actions
• Actions help to divide Test Script into logical units

• Usage :
1)We can design more modular and efficient tests.
2)Actions enable you to parameterize specific components of a
test
3)Two or more tests can call the same action
4)Complex tests may have many actions and may share actions
with
other tests.

• Example:

www.ramupalanki.com
 Actions
We can divide Test Script into multiple actions by creating
new actions or by inserting existing actions.

Kinds of actions:
• Non-Reusable Action : An action that can be used only in the
test in which it was created, and only once.

• Reusable Action : An action that can be called multiple times

by the test in which it was created (the local test) as well as by
other tests.

• External Action : A reusable action created in another test.

External actions are read-only in the calling test. They can be
modified only in the test in which they were created.

www.ramupalanki.com
 Creating New Actions
• We can add new actions to Test Script during a recording session or while designing Test
Script.

 Splitting Actions
We can split an existing action into two sibling
actions or into parent-child nested actions.

We cannot split an action and the option is

disabled
• when an external action is selected
• when the first line of the action is selected
• while recording a test
• while running a test
• when you are working with a read-only test

 Inserting Existing Actions
• We can insert an existing action by inserting a copy of
the action into Test Script, or by inserting a call to the
original action.

• Example:

www.ramupalanki.com
 Inserting Existing Actions
• Copy of Action : It copied in its entirety, including checkpoints, parameterization, and the
corresponding action tab in the Data Table.

www.ramupalanki.com
 Inserting Existing Actions
• Calls to Actions: We can insert a call (link) to a reusable action that resides in your
current test (local action), or in any other test (external action).
