1. Slide 1: QuickTest Professional Swapnadeep Deb K
2. Slide 2: HP QuickTest Professional (QTP)  HP QuickTest Professional software is an advanced, automated testing software for building functional and regression test suites. It captures, verifies and replays user interactions automatically and helps testers quickly identify and report on application effects, while providing advanced functionality for tester collaboration.  HP QuickTest Professional 9.2 is the latest version.
3. Slide 3: Key Features  Mercury Screen Recorder - Captures your entire run session in a movie clip or capture only the segments with errors, and then view your movie from the Test Results window.  Dynamic Management of Object Repositories- Programmatically manage an action's shared object repository collection during the test run.  Enhanced Object Spy Functionality - When you hover over objects in your application using the pointing hand, you can view their properties, methods, and object hierarchy in the Object Spy. As you hover over each object, it is highlighted in the application.  Keyword View: Lets you easily build and maintain tests without writing VBScripts.  Auto-Documentation: Provides improved test clarity and the ability to view test steps in plain English.  Step Generator: Allows you to quickly insert custom-built functions into your tests.  Mercury Business Process Testing: Enhanced integration with BPT --Business Components, Scripted Components, and Application Areas.
4. Slide 4:  Enhanced Expert View: Provides greater efficiency when generalizing test components.  Action Parameters: Allows you to generalize testing actions for greater reusability.  Data Parameters: You can now specify test or action parameters to pass values into and from your test, and between actions in your test.  Open XML Report Format for Test Results: Test results are now stored in an open XML format, enabling you to easily customize the reports according to your own requirements, and to integrate the test result information with other applications.  Unicode Support: Lets you test global deployments of your enterprise applications.  Function Definition Generator: You can use the new Function Definition Generator to generate definitions for user-defined functions, add header information to them, and register functions to a test object
5.

6. Slide 6: Supported Environments and Programs QuickTest Professional supports creating, recording, and running tests or components using the environments and programs described below: Virtualization Technologies  VMware workstation 5.5  Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server 4.0 Standard Windows Applications QuickTest Professional supports testing on applications based on Win32 API and MFC. QuickTest Professional does not support testing on 64-bit applications. Visual Basic Applications QuickTest Professional supports testing on Visual Basic 6.0 applications. Note: Visual Basic .NET applications are supported by the QuickTest Professional .NET Add-in. Browsers  Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0, 6.0 Service Pack 1  Netscape Browser 8.1.2  Mozilla Firefox 2.0, 1.5
7. Slide 7: QTP involves 3 main phases: • Create a test script by recording a manual test scenario on the Creating Test Scripts AUT (Application Under Test) using QTP. QTP graphically displays each step users perform in the form of a collapsible, icon based tree view in QTP’s Keyword View. • Creation / Enhancement of a test script can be done using the Expert view where users can add Adding logic and conditional statements, Parameterization and Inserting checkpoints Once the test scripts are recorded / created, next step is to execute them. While running (executing) the tests QTP connects Running Test Scripts to the web site or AUT and performs each operation in the test as performed manually while recording / creating test scripts. If QC is (Quality Center is HP’s software test management tool.) being used then we can execute the Test Scripts from there. Examine the QTP test results to pinpoint defects in the application. The QTP test results give a detailed insight into every action performed by QTP. The defects can be reported to Analyzing Test Results a Bug Tracking Tool or to the QC database.

9. Slide 9: Object Repository Object Repository is a file where Test objects can be stored. There are two types of object repositories—a shared object repository and a local object repository.  Local Object Repository stores objects in a file that is associated with one specific action, so that only that action can access the stored objects.  Shared Object Repository stores test objects in a file that can be accessed by multiple tests (in read-only mode). Networker GUI Automation uses Shared Object Repository. In Networker GUI Automation we are using Quality Center (QC) which is integrated with QTP. These shared object repositories are stored in Quality Center. To Associate these Object repositories, QuickTest Professional should be Connected to Quality Center.
10. Slide 10: Object Identification QTP identifies a test object using different types of properties and identification methods :  Mandatory Properties – QuickTest has a predefined set of properties that it gets for each test object.  Assistive Properties – are properties that QuickTest gets only if mandatory properties are not sufficient to create a unique description of a test object.  Ordinal Identifier – If the combination of all defined mandatory and assistive properties is not sufficient to create a unique test object description, QuickTest also learns the value for the selected ordinal identifier. Smart Identification – If QTP cannot find any object that matches the description, or if it finds more than one object that matches, QuickTest uses the Smart Identification mechanism (if enabled) to identify the object. In many cases, a Smart Identification definition can help QuickTest identify an object, if it is present, even when the test object description fails due to changes in one or more property values.
11. Slide 11: Object Spy The Object Spy pointing hand mechanism enables viewing the supported properties and methods of any object in an open application. As you move the pointing hand over the objects in the application, their details are displayed in the Object Spy. These details may include the test object's hierarchy tree, its properties and values, and the methods associated with the object. For methods, the syntax is also displayed. In most environments, you can choose to view the test object properties and methods or the run-time (native) properties and methods.
12. Slide 12: Checkpoints Checkpoint is a verification point that compares a current value for a specified property with the expected value for that property. This enables you to identify whether your Web site or application is functioning correctly. Types of Checkpoints  Standard Checkpoint checks the property value of an object in your application or Web page.  Image Checkpoint checks the value of an image in your application or Web page.  Bitmap Checkpoint checks an area of your Web page or application as a bitmap.  Table Checkpoint checks information within a table.  Text Checkpoint checks that a text string is displayed in the appropriate place on a Web page or application.  Text Area Checkpoint checks that a text string is displayed within a defined area in a Windows application, according to specified criteria.  Accessibility Checkpoint identifies areas of your Web site that may not conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.  Page Checkpoint checks the characteristics of a Web page.  Database Checkpoint checks the contents of a database accessed by your
13. Slide 13: Test Execution Results  Test Execution Results have detailed information of the execution. The Test Result overview has the following :  The Test Script Name  Time Zone  Execution Start Date & Time  Execution End Date & Time  Test Set Name (QC)  Test Result : Passed / Failed  The number of steps passed, failed and warnings.  Test Execution Results give results of all the actions performed on the AUT. And gives a detailed insight into the steps that fail.
