This document describes a keyword-driven testing framework using the select case statement in QuickTest Professional (QTP). It involves 4 steps: 1) Create reusable components and store them in a library folder, 2) Create object repositories and store them separately, 3) Associate the components and repositories to a driver script, 4) Write the driver script to call tests via a key variable selected from a QTP data table. The key allows executing the respective associated function to automate an end-to-end process without directly calling each function.

It is a concept to execute the Process.
How to Create?
Step 1: Create each and every reusable component.
For this Create the Library <folder> store in this all .vbs files
Step 2: Create separately each and every Object Repositories.
For this Create the ObjectRepository<folder> all the repository .tsr
files copy in this folder
Step 3: associate all the .vbs files and objctRepository .tsr to Driver1 Script.
For this Create the Driver <folder> store the Driver Script in this folder
After open the qtp open this driver folder fist then run this test.
Step 4: Open the Data Table in QTP
Step 5: Write the Driver Script for calling all the tests through the Key Variable
Launch.vbs

Function launch_app()
SystemUtil.Run "IEXPLORE.EXE",”Urls of site”
End Function
Login.vbs
Function login()
Browser("Header").Page("Header").WebEdit("userid1").Set "yourself"
Browser("Header").Page("Header").WebEdit("pwd1").SetSecure
"4f3f5cb824f8c09eb07fd80459f9"
Browser("Header").Page("Header").WebButton("Sign in").Click
End Function
Close.vbs
Function Close_app()
Browser("Header").Page("Header_2").Link("Sign Out").Click
End Function
QTP Test file name: Driver1
Write Driver1 Script:
Here associate all the .vbs files and .tsr files to this QTP Driver1 Test
Dim Var
Var = DataTable.Value ("key",Gloabl)
Select Case Var
Case "la" launch_app()
Case "ln" login()
Case "ca" Close_app()
End Select
Note: Without calling function directly execute all the reusable components.
Take the Key Variables in the QTP Data Table in QTP Driver Test:
View  Data Table

Ex: Key is a User Defined Variable
Associate all each and every .vbs files to the Driver Script:
Call the Tests: Open the Drive Script
File  Settings  Resources  Associate all .vbs files here.
Launch.vbs, Login.vbs, Close.vbs
Note: if Create all .vbs files without descriptive programming. So here after
associate the .vbs files associate all the repository files also.
Associate all repository files to the driver Script:
Login.tsr, Logout.tsr
Resource  Associate Repositories  Click + button to add the Repository Select
that test available action  Click > button to associate the repository  Click Ok
button. Like this associate all the repositories.
Run> Drive1 Test

Step1. In Data Table Take Key Variable
Step2. Execute that respective key associated function
Step3. Increment the Row automatically take the next key Variable and execute
that respective key associated function and so … on execute remaining key
variables if any next.
If Single File also execute: maintenance is difficult to execute the process for
entire project.
Function launch ()
SystemUtil.Run "IEXPLORE.EXE", "Url of site"
End Function
Function login()
Browser("Header").Page("Header").WebEdit("userid1").Set "Yourself"
Browser("Header").Page("Header").WebEdit("pwd1").SetSecure
"4f3f5cb824f8c09eb07fd80459f9"
Browser("Header").Page("Header").WebButton("Sign in").Click
End Function
Function logout()
Browser("Header").Page("Header_2").Link("Sign Out").Click
End Function
Dim Var

Var = DataTable.Value ("key",Gloabl)
Select Case Var
Case "a" launch()
Case "b" login()
Case "c" logout()
End Select
What is Key?
It is a Variable that assigns the reusable test. Using these keys to complete the end
to end process.
