QTP supports functional testing of different environments like Windows, web, and .NET. It uses VBScript for scripting and allows normal, analog, and low-level recording. Tests in QTP can be run in normal or fast mode and utilize checkpoints for verification. Key aspects include the test object model, synchronization, and the expert view interface.

•
Normal Recording
– Normal recording mode records the objects and the operations performed in the
application.
– This mode is the default and takes full advantage of QuickTest's test object model,
recognizing the objects in your application regardless of their location on the screen.
•
Analog Recording
– This type of recording enables to record the exact mouse and keyboard operations
you perform in relation to either the screen or the application window.
– Analog Recording Settings Dialog Box consists of the two operands;
• Record relative to the screen : Records all mouse movement or keyboard input on all
windows in the screen
• Record relative to the window : Records any mouse movement or keyboard input relative to
the coordinates of the specified window.
Note:
•
It is not possible to edit the analog recording steps within Quick Test.


Low Level Recording

Used when test objective pertains to the specific object
location.

This type of recording enables to record on any object in the
application, whether or not Quick Test recognizes the
specific object or the specific operation.

It should be used when the environment or the object is not
recognized by QTP OR if the exact coordinates of the object
are important for your test or component.
Note:
•
Steps recorded using low-level mode may not run correctly on all objects if the object co-ordinates change
frequently.

6. QTP Basics
•
There are two modes of running the scripts in QTP namely
– Normal
– Fast
•
Normal mode:
– Uses the execution arrow in both the Keyword and Expert view marking the each
step or statement performed.
– For tests containing multiple actions, for Keyword View the tree in the Item column is
expanded to display the steps while in the Expert View displays the script, of the
currently running action.
•
Fast Mode:
– Does not use the execution arrow to run the test or component in either Keyword
View or Expert View and does not expand the item tree or display the script of each
action as it runs.


Object model



It is an structural representation of software objects that comprise the
implementation of a system or application.
Defines a set of classes and interfaces, together with their properties,
methods and events, and their relationships.
Test object




Used by QTP to represent the an object in the application.
Consists of one or more methods or properties.
Consists of an number of identification properties.
QTP supports 6 types of these test objects namely,



Standard Windows Object
ActiveX Objects
Visual Basic Objects
Web Objects
Utility Objects
Supplemental Objects

8. QTP Basics

Used where web page or application does not respond
in the same speed at which QTP operates.

QTP waits until the respective image/page/button or
application is ready for further test execution.

Synchronization points forces Quick Test to wait for
the specified milliseconds before the next action is
executed.

This can be added in the following ways;



Adding synchronization step from the Insert Menu.
Using Wait() statements.
By modifying the default values.


QTP supports functional testing of environments such as
Windows, Web, .NET etc.,
Uses VBScript as its scripting language.
Operates stand alone and can also be integrated with
other Mercury products.
Facilitates easy steps for data driven testing and provide
auto –documentation about each test step.
3 types of recording is possible thru QTP


Scripts can be run in two modes:



Normal Recording
Analog Recording
Low Level Recording
Normal - Runs the test with the execution mark
Fast – Runs the test without the execution arrow
The Run settings can be changed from the Options dialog

Synchronization points allow Quick Test to wait for the specified
milliseconds before the next action is executed.
The Expert view displays the set of objects and steps as a VBScript
line.
A checkpoint is a verification point that compares a current value for a
specified property with the expected value for that property.
