Qtp object repository
The document discusses QTP's local and global object repositories. Local object repositories are associated with a single action and are not shared between actions. Global object repositories can be shared between multiple actions. The key steps to create a global object repository are to record objects using the object spy, save the repository as a .tsr file, and associate the repository with relevant actions. The object repository can then be edited and objects can be moved from local to global repositories.
Qtp object repository
- 1. QTP – ObjectRepository
- 2. QTP – RepositoryTypes • Local Object Repository • Global Object Repository
- 3. Local Object Repository •Local Object Repository is local to action • By default when you do the QTP recording the objects are stored in the local object repository • Each action will have one Local Object Repository and cannot be shared with different actions • This is the OR that is available for each tests by default. • Local Object Repository is Editable in Object Repository. • It is Saved with an Extension .bdb • It Should be used when not many tests are working on the same screens of the application under test. • It is NOT a standalone file that can edited.
- 4. Locating Local ObjectRepository in QTP • Go to Resources Tab on the menu bar • Click on Object Repository
- 5. Looking at LocalObject Repo • As you see here , each action will have one local object repository • When you perform QTP recording, the objects will get added to local object repository • You can add or delete the objects here
- 6. Looking at LocalObject Repo Open any web application on IE As shown below: You can also add Objects (for example like button ) manually into the local object repository by clicking on Add Objects to Local The QTP gets minimized and you will see the web application -> Click on the object that you want to record
- 7. Global Object Repository •Global Object Repository is shared between different actions • Also called shared object repository • This type of OR is available for applications which needs multiple tests with multiple actions. • Shared Object Repository is read only by default but can be edited in Object Repository Manager • saved with an extension .tsr • Usually used in frameworks considering reusability and maintainability. • standalone file that can be edited easily.
- 8. Global Object Repository •Using Global Object Repository Creating a Shared Object Repository Associating a Shared Object Repository Editing a Shared Object Repository
- 9. Creating Global ObjectRepository in QTP • Go to Resources Tab on the menu bar • Click on Object Repository Manager
- 10. Creating Global ObjectRepository Click on Add objects Button The QTP will get minimized and you will see the application as shown in next screen
- 11. Creating Global ObjectRepository Move your mouse to the object that you want to add and click on top of the object For example : Move the mouse on top of the web edit box – First name and click on it
- 12. Creating Global ObjectRepository Click on OK button on the Object Selection screen
- 13. Creating Global ObjectRepository As shown here, the web edit box for first name is added Repeat the same process for all the objects Note :Add all the objects that are needed for automating your test case For Example : if you want to automate the facebook application then you have to add all the webedits , WebButtons, Radio Buttons, Drop Downs etc (like entering first name, last name etc) webbuttons (like submit button)
- 14. Creating Global ObjectRepository (optional) You can update the name , if needed as shown above
- 15. Creating Global ObjectRepository (optional) You can update the name , if needed as shown above
- 16. Save Global ObjectRepository Navigate to File -> and click on Save As to save the object repository
- 17. Save Global ObjectRepository Locate the directory where you want to save the object repository and then provide a name , with .tsr extension save the repository For Example : Create a folder under the C drive , name the folder as QTP and then under that create a folder as ObjRepo under that folder save the created object repository
- 18. Associate Global ObjectRepository To associate repository with a test, Click Resources > Associate Repository Once you create a global object repository , you should associate the global object repository to an action in order to access the added objects in the action ( Note : you can also associate to Global object Repository to multiple actions )
- 19. Associate Global ObjectRepository As you see , Associate Repositories screen will get launched Click on add button (The + Symbol) to add a global repository to an action Once you click on the add button , it will open the windows explorer and on in explorer navigate to the location where you have saved the Global Repository as shown in next screen
- 20. Associate Global ObjectRepository Select the repository that you have created and saved before in C:QTPObjRepo
- 21. Associate Global ObjectRepository Double click on the created repository to get the repository added
- 22. Associate Global ObjectRepository Once the repository is added Select all the actions that you need to associate , move them from available actions to the Associated actions , By clicking on the move button Here the Move Button is “ >” Note : if there more actions move all the actions that needs object repository association
- 23. Associate Global ObjectRepository As shown here move all the actions that needs to be associated Click on Ok button
- 24. Editing Global ObjectRepository • You can use the Object Repository Manager to Edit a Share Repository. • Select Resources > Object Repository Manager . • Open the Object Repository we created before • By Default, Repository is opened in Read-only mode. • To enable editing click File > Enable Editing • Once editing is enabled you can perform all the operations like cut, copy, paste, rename objects etc
