Automation Fundamental Concepts & QTP 8.2

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

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

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

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

QTP At a Glance …..
Introduction to QTP (QuickTest Professional) “The Mercury advanced keyword-driven testing solution” Technologies Supported Default Support 1. Standard Windows applications 2. Web objects / Applications 3. ActiveX controls 4. Visual Basic applications Additional QuickTest add-ins Support, 1. Java 2. Oracle 3. SAP Solutions, 4. .NET Windows 5. Web Forms, 6. Siebel, 7. PeopleSoft, 8. Web services, and terminal emulator applications .

Testing Process with QTP
Quick Test Pro involves 3 main stages
Creating Test scripts
Running Tests
Analyzing Test Results

Creating Tests
Create a test script by recording a manual test scenario on the AUT (Application Under Test) using QTP.
Quick Test Pro graphically displays each step users perform in the form of a collapsible, icon based tree view in QTP’s Keyword View.

Running Tests & Analyzing Test Results
Running Tests :
Once the test scripts are recorded / created, next step is to execute them…While running (executing) the tests Quick Test Pro connects to the web site or AUT and performs each operation in the test as performed manually while recording / creating tests (test scripts)…
Debugging Test : To identify and eliminate the defects in the test scripts.
Analyzing Test Results :
Once the test scripts are executed, test results and the summary can be viewed for result analysis.

Add-in Manager
Default Add-ins
ActiveX
Visual basic
Web
Other Add-Ins
Siebel
Java
SAP
Oracle
.Net and many more

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.

Working with Test Objects in QTP
Test Object Model Conceptualization
Applying the Test Object Model Concept
Viewing Object properties Using Object Spy
Demo on Test Object Model features of QTP

Test Object Model Cont…
How Quick test Pro learns objects in application ?
Quick Test first looks at the object on which user is recording and stores it as a test object & then determines which test object class it fits into by,
Mandatory properties
Assistive properties..
Ordinal identifier……
Smart Identification..

Test Object Model Cont…
Mandatory properties:
For each Test Object class, Quick Test has list of mandatory properties…
Assistive properties:
Quick Test adds assistive properties one by one to the description until it has compiled a unique description…
Ordinal identifier:
If the combination of all defined mandatory and assistive properties is not sufficient to create a unique test object description, Quickest also records the value for the selected ordinal identifier.
Smart Identification:
A Smart Identification definition can help QuickTest identify an object, if it is present, even when the recorded description fails due to changes in one or more property values.

Test Object Model
How Quick Test Identifies objects during the test run?
Quick test searches for a run time object that exactly matches the description of the test object from the object repository it learned while recording…

Test Object Model
Test Object :
Test Object is an object that Quick Test creates in the test to represent the actual object in the application…
Run Time Object :
It is the actual object in the web site or application on which methods are performed during the test run..

Test Object Model
Viewing object properties by Object Spy :
Using the object spy, users can view the properties of any object in an open application…

Object Spy

Test Object Model
Viewing object methods and methods syntax using object spy…
Object Spy enables users to view both the run time object methods, the test object methods associated with an object and to view the syntax for a selected method…

Managing Test objects
Object Repository Dialog box :
- Per Action Mode
- Shared Action Mode

Managing Test objects
Identifying the Object :
- Logical Name
- Class
Viewing the Objects Property :
Type - Constant, Data table property ,variable parameter.
Property - Name of the Property
Value - The value of the property
- Smart Identifier
- Add/ Remove

Managing Test Objects
Adding or Viewing New objects :
- Add New Objects
- Object spy
- Saves all the object properties and values from a per action object repository to a separate file for use as a shared object repository in another test…
- Modify the Test object properties
- Finding the Test object properties
- Modifying the Logical Names

Managing Test Objects
Object Properties Modification
Users can modify the properties of the temporary version of the object during the test run with out affecting the permanent values in the object repository
- SetTOProperty
- GetTOProperty

Main phases of QTP testing Process
Preparing to record
Recording a session on the application
Executing the test
Enhancing your test
Debugging your test
Re-executing the tests on a new version of the application
Analyzing the test results
Reporting defects

DEMO
Please record a test and run the script.
Analyze the test result.

Types of Checkpoints (Verification Process) 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

Types of Checkpoints Cont… 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.
