Welcome to QTP(QUICK TEST PROFESSIONAL)
2 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
What is QTP QTP stands for QuickTest Professional It is an automated testing tool provided by
HP/Mercury Interactive QTP integrates with other Mercury testing
solutions including:• TestDirector/Quality Center• WinRunner• LoadRunner
Utilizes an add-in architecture for compactness and extensibility

Types of Testing
Manual• Usage of steps defined within test cases
to manually test the application to ensure that it functions properly
Automated• Automation of the manual testing process
to all unattended execution and ensure repeatability
4 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
What Should Be Automated Good candidates
• Tests executed for each build• Business critical tests• Tests that are difficult/tedious to perform
manually
Bad candidates• Tests without predictable results• Test that require variable input/responses from
the tester• Tests that perform operations in multiple
environments
5 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Which Test Cases to Automate? Tests that need to be run for every build of the
application (sanity check, regression test)
Tests that use multiple data values for the same actions (data driven tests)
Stress/load testing
Tests requiring a great deal of precision
6 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
QTP – An Introduction Quick Test Professional is the flagship functional testing
tool from Mercury Interactive.
It is an icon based tool, which automates the functional & regression testing of an application.
QTP is easier to use and implement for both technical & non technical testers in comparison to other functional testing tools available.
The new version of HP QTP is being called HP Unified Functional Testing 11.5 (UFT 11.5). UFT 11.5 is actually a combination of HP QTP (for testing GUI) and HP Service Test (for testing API).

Salient Features
Scripting Language is VBScript which is easy to use , understand and program even complex functionalities with ease..
Uses “Active Screen” technology to record scripts which aids the tester in referring to the screens object properties.
Library files contains VBScript functions and subroutines that can be added to the test.
Support Modern Development Environment.

QTP Environment
Windows• C++, Visual Basic, Java, .NET
Web• Web Applications, Web services
Other technologies• SAP, Siebel, Oracle, Peoplesoft,
ActiveX
10 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Add-in Architecture
Enables QTP to provide support for multiple technologies.
Add-ins are software that need to be installed on a system that has QTP. It then becomes integrated with the QTP environment.
QTP is sold with the ability to understand a few technologies, add-ins provide QTP with the ability to understand additional technologies
Users are able to select the specific add-ins for the technologies they are testing thereby reducing the memory footprint of QTP
11 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
QTP Add-ins
When QTP is started, you should select only the add-ins for technologies that are used with your application.
Some of the available add-ins are• ActiveX - For testing software written using ActiveX
(also known as COM) technology. This technology allows people to create objects in one language and use those objects within other languages/applications
• Visual Basic - For applications written in the Visual Basic language
• Web - For testing web applications written in any language. In web applications, we interact with the application though a web browser and so the web application can be written in any language.

What is a QTP Test
It is called a test script but is actually a folder containing several files
Broken down into subparts known as 'Actions‘
Internally represented using the VBScript programming language
15 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Actions
A test is broken into a series of ‘Actions’• Actions can be renamed to reflect what
they do
• Actions can be invoked multiple times within a test
• Actions can be marked as reusable so they can be called from other tests
Only reusable actions can be called from other tests
reusable actions can be called from other

Overview QTP Tool
17 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
QTP Tool [Code Window]
Provides a WYSIWYG editor to use in writing your test scripto Keyboard view
• Provides an icon-based representation of the code being written. This is often the easiest code view for non-programmers
o Expert View• Provides a VBScript code based representation
of the code being written. This is the most flexible code
18 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
QTP Tool [Views]
Active Screen• Provides screenshots of all objects
recorded and also supports object highlighting
Data Table• Shows the data file that can be used to
configure the application Debug Viewer
• Provides tools to debug code and view the value of variable/expression during code execution
19 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Create Object Repository [STEP 1]
Intro to Object Oriented Programming
o Objects are a representation of every item found in an application
o Objects are visual (e.g. Button, Textbox) and non-visual (e.g. Dictionary, Reporter) elements within an application. Each object has the following elements• Properties, Methods & Events
o All objects must have a unique name and belong to a class.
o Objects are referenced in code using dot notation objectName.Method()
20 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Objects Properties
• These are characteristics of the object e.g. the text on a button. QTP uses this to recognize the object
Methods• These are built in functionality of the object. The VBScript
code that we write (or record) actually makes calls to the methods of an object e.g. Reporter.ReportEvent() Here ReportEvent is the method of the Reporter object
Events• These are what can be done to an object. This is used by
programmers to determine what an object does in response to an action you perform. It is however unused in QTP.
21 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Objects
22 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
QTP Object Identification Process
Object Identification• The tool determines what properties of
objects are recorded Object Spy
• Allows users to view the property of an object without recording it
Object Repository• Holds information recorded about each
object allowing the test to identify the object during execution
23 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Creating an Object Repository
Per Action• An object repository is created for each
action • This means that multiple object
repositories can be created per test
Shared• A single object repository is used for
multiple tests
24 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
CREATE TEST [STEP 2]
Record Steps Edit
• Insert synchronization points• Insert checkpoints• Insert output values• Parameterize values• Include VBScript code
25 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Record
Read the outline of steps to perform Practice performing the steps to
minimize error Choose record mode
• Context Sensitive• Analog• Low level
RECORD Stop, Save test, playback

Edit Test
Insert synchronization points• Used to slow down execution of a test script
Checkpoints• Used to check expected value of a step
against the actual value at a specific point during execution
Insert output values• Used to retrieve values from the AUT
Insert Parameterization• Allows you to store data in the data table
Include VB Script code• Last option. Very powerful.
30 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Synchronization Point
Specific time• Uses the wait function to pause the test for
a specific amount of time [in seconds] Until an event occurs
• Pauses until a specific property of an object has a specific value
A synchronization point is a line in the test script that instructs QTP to wait for a certain response from the application during playback.
31 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
How to Add Synchronization Points Locate the lines in the script to insert the
synchronization point
In Quick Test choose Insert > Step > Synchronization Point. The mouse pointer turns into a pointing hand. This should be done while recording.
Using the Hand Pointer click on the object to Synchronize.
Add Synchronization Point dialog box opens.
32 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Check Points in QTP
• A checkpoint verifies that expected information is displayed in your application while the test is running.
33 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Checkpoints Standard
• Checks multiple properties of a single object Text
• Checks part or all the text within an object Text Area
• Checks part or all the text within a text area object Bitmap
• Checks the visual layout of an entire object or a portion of the object
Database• Checks data in the database
Accessibility• Checks web content accessibility against W3C
accessibility rules for the disabled XML
• Checks files using XML rules
34 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Inserting Check Points
Right Click the object and select Insert Checkpoint.
35 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Output values Standard
• Stores a single property of an object in the data table Text
• Stores part or all the text of an object in the data table Text Area
• Stores the content of a text area in the data table Database
• Retrieves content from a database [using a SQL query] and stores it in the data table
XML• Retrieves content from an XML file and store it in the data
table
36 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Parameterize Data
Allows your test to read data from the data table.
The data table is an Excel spreadsheet file editable from using Excel or any other application that can edit a .xls document
The DataTable is encapsulated in QTP in the DataTable object. This object contains a sheet for every action in the test as well as a globally accessible sheet known as the global sheet
Each sheet in the DataTable contains several columns and rows.
The columns can be renamed by double-clicking on the header of the column.
37 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Why Parameterization ?
Parameterization allows us to pick different values at run time.
Reduces Time and Effort.
Usage of data drivers allow us to use the same data for various input boxes.
Parameterization can also be done for checkpoints.
38 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Parameterization Continues
Slide 39http://kerneltraining.com/informatica/
Global and Action Data Sheets
The Data Table contains two types of sheets:
Global sheet: This enables you to share information from one action to another. Should be used for data drivers and Output Values.
Action Sheet: Each action also has its own sheet in the Data Table so that you can insert data that applies only to that action.
When there are parameters in a current action’s sheet, you can set Quick Test to run one or more iterations on that action before continuing with the current global iteration of the test.
40 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
VBScript Coding
When the tools provided by QTP are not sufficient to test an application, VBScript coding can be used.
VBScript was created as a web programming language by Microsoft and licensed by many companies for use in their tools.

Analyzing Test Results
42 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Test Results Window
43 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Test Results
Test Results Tree - an icon-based view of the steps that were performed while the test was running. Similar to the test tree in Quick Test main screen
Iteration Summary – Provides the Status (pass/Fail) of each iteration individually.
Status Summary - Indicates the number of checkpoints or reports that passed, failed, and raised warnings during the test.

Integration of Winrunner, QTP & Test Director
46 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Why Integrate QTP ? With Win Runner
Facilitates running Win Runner tests and call TSL functions in compiled modules with parameters by creating calls to Win Runner tests and functions.
With Test Director (TD)
TD, Mercury Interactive test management tool, can help you organize and control the testing process. It provides an intuitive and efficient method for scheduling and running tests, collecting test results, analyzing the results, and managing test versions.
47 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
QTP & WinRunner
QTP can easily be integrated with Win Runner, Test Director and Load Runner.
If the Winrunner is already installed and being used, then QTP can be added without the loss of Winrunner scripts.
Quick Test Pro will be able to call Win Runner Scripts.
A single test can contain both Winrunner & QTP scripts.
48 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Advantages of QTP over other Functional Automation tools
Easy to use, icon based scripts. Easier for non technical testers to learn.
Usage of VBScript language for scripting which is very powerful ,has lots of capabilities and can program even complex functionalities with ease.
The active screen technology allows the person writing script to pick-up values that may have been left out during recording. This helps to reduce re-work for scripting.
49 http://kerneltraining.com/qtp/
Advantages of QTP over other Functional Automation tools
Supports .Net, XML and other modern Environments.
Test Run Iterations/Data driven testing is much easier and better implemented with QTP. Capturing output values add data driven testing more kick and flexibility.
Provides ability to trap exceptions and handle them using inbuilt functions or user defined ones.
