- 1. Automation Fundamental Concepts and Intro. about QTP 9.2 --Chandra Sekhar
- 2. Automation Fundamental Concepts What is Test Automation ? Software Test Automation is the process of automating the steps of manual test cases using an automation tool Or utility to shorten the testing life cycle with respect to time… When application undergoes regression, some of the steps might be missed out or skipped which can be avoided in Automation… Automation helps to avoid human errors and also expedite the testing process… To implement the Test Automation detailed planning and effort is required
- 3. Automation Fundamental Concepts Automation saves time and effort which results in reduction of the Test life cycle… Benefits of Automation - Consistency of Test Execution - Reducing cycle time of regression test cycles - Data driven testing - Repeatability - Coverage - Reliability - Reusability of test wares
- 4. Automation Fundamental Concepts Automation life cycle is a subset of the entire test life cycle… Automation planning can be initiated in parallel to the test planning phase… Factors to be considered in automation planning, Stability of AUT (Application under test) No of regression cycles to be performed Compatibility of App platform with testing tools Cost benefit analysis (ROI) Availability of skilled resources
- 5. Regression Testing & Automation When Automation is applicable? Regression Testing Cycles are long and iterative. If the application is planned to have multiple releases / builds If it’s a long running application where in small enhancements / Bug Fixes keeps happening Test Repeatability is required

- 9. Add-in Manager Cont… QTP’s Add-in Manager facilitates the users to select the technology / environment from variety of environments suitable for the AUT (Application Under Test) Once an add-in is loaded, users can record that application in its supported environment and thus QTP recognizes the objects specific to the application under test (AUT) as loaded through Add-in Manager. It is critical for the users to know the development technologies / environment of AUT, and load right Add-Ins while invoking Quick Test Pro.

- 12. Quick Test Professional - Tools Options Run
- 13. Quick Test Professional - Options Run Best Practices for Options for Run Mode: Run Mode as Normal: This ensures that the execution arrow appears to help with trouble shooting the tests. Synchronization becomes better for the AUT (Application Under Test) Test Results: Deselect the option “View Results when run session ends” Mercury Tool Integration: Select "Allow other Mercury products to run tests and components“ Screen Capture: Save step screen capture to results "On error and warnings"
- 14. Automation Record and Run Settings
- 15. Record and Run Settings Best Practices for Record & Run Settings Set the options to configure QTP to "Record and run test on any open Windows- based application“ Set the option - This window will appear the first time you click on the Record button in the new test. Manually recall this window by selecting Automation Record and Run settings
- 16. QTP - Main Window
- 17. QTP - Main Window Test Pane: Test Pane contains two labs to view the tests, - Keyword View - Expert View Keyword View: Quick Test Pro displays your test in the form of a collapsible, icon based tree… Expert View: Quick Test Pro displays the source code (VB Script) of the tests in this view.

- 33. Types of Checkpoints Check that a Web page (or any portion of it) is displayed as expected. Checks an area of a Web page or application after capturing it as a bitmap Bitmap Checkpoint Check whether the expected text string is displayed in the expected location on a Web page or dialog box Checks that a text string is displayed in the appropriate place in a Web page or application window Text / Text Area Checkpoint Check how long a Web page takes to load or if a Web page contains broken links. Checks the characteristics of a Web page Page checkpoint Check that the value in a table cell is correct. Checks information in a table Table Checkpoint Check that the image source file is correct. Checks the property values of an image Image Checkpoint Check that a radio button is selected. Checks values of an object’s properties Standard Checkpoint
- 34. Types of Checkpoints Note: XML file checkpoints are used to check a specified XML file; XML application checkpoints are used to check an XML document within a Web page. Checks the data content of XML documents XML Checkpoint Check if the images on a Web page include ALT properties, required by the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Identifies areas of a Web site to check for Section 508 compliancy Accessibility Checkpoint Check that the value in a database query is correct. Checks the contents of databases accessed by an application or Web site Database Checkpoint
