VB Script:QTP

As we all are aware that QTP supports VB script.

VB script: Basic

A variable is a virtual container in the computer's memory where we can store

Program information that may change during the time of our script is running.

In VBScript, variables are always of one fundamental data type, Variant.

A computer program can store information in a variable and then access that

Information later by referring to the variable's name.

Dim Statement

The Dim statement declares and allocates storage space in memory for

Variables. If the Dim statement is used at the start of a procedure then the variable is local to the procedure, if  it is used at start of a global script block the Dim will available throughout the module.

Syntax: Dim varname[([subscripts])][, varname[([subscripts])]]

Option Explicit Statement

Forces explicit declaration of all variables in a script.

If used, the Option Explicit statement must appear in a script before any other

statements. When you use the Option Explicit statement, you must explicitly

declare all variables using the Dim, Private, Public, or ReDim statements. If you

attempt to use an undeclared variable name, an error pop will appear displaying the message as “variable is undefined”

Arrays:

It is a variable which contains a series of variables value. Array variables and scalar variables are declared in the same way, except that the declaration of an array variable uses parentheses ( ) following the variable name. Arrays are useful when we are storing sets of similar data.

Constants 

A constant contains a value that never changes. For example, the value of PI is a constant. Use constants to define values that you know will never change during the execution of your script.VBScript also allows you to define your own constants.

Descriptive programming in QTP

Whenever QTP records any action on any object of an application, it adds some description on how to recognize that object to a repository of objects called object repository. QTP cannot take action on an object until unless its object description is in the Object Repository. But descriptive programming provides a way to perform action on objects which are not in Object repository.

Why to use Descriptive programming?
 Below are some of the situations when Descriptive Programming can be considered useful:
The objects in the application are dynamic in nature and need special handling to identify the object. The best example would be of clicking a link which changes according to the user of the application, Ex. “Logout <<UserName>>”.
When object repository is getting huge due to the no. of objects being added. If the size of Object repository increases too much then it decreases the performance of QTP while recognizing a object.
When you don’t want to use object repository at all. Well the first question would be why not Object repository? Consider the following scenario which would help understand why not Object repository

Scenario 1: Suppose we have a web application that has not been developed yet. Now QTP for recording the script and adding the objects to repository needs the application to be up, that would mean waiting for the application to be deployed before we can start of with making QTP scripts. But if we know the descriptions of the objects that will be created then we can still start off with the script writing for testing

Scenario 2: Suppose an application has 3 navigation buttons on each and every page. Let the buttons be “Cancel”, “Back” and “Next”. Now recording action on these buttons would add 3 objects per page in the repository. For a 10 page flow this would mean 30 objects which could have been represented just by using 3 objects. So instead of adding these 30 objects to the repository we can just write 3 descriptions for the object and use it on any page.Modification to a test case is needed but the Object repository for the same is Read only or in shared mode i.e. changes may affect other scripts as well.
When you want to take action on similar type of object i.e. suppose we have 20 textboxes on the page and there names are in the form txt_1, txt_2, txt_3 and so on. Now adding all 20 the Object repository would not be a good programming approach.

How to use Descriptive programming:

There are two ways in which descriptive programming can be used
By creating properties collection object for the description.
By giving the description in form of the string arguments.By creating properties collection object for the description.To use this method you need first to create an empty description

Control Structures

Control structures allow you to control the flow of execution of your scripts. You can specify that some code should be executed only under certain circumstances, using conditional structures. You can specify that some code should be executed repeatedly, using looping structures. Lastly, you can specify that code from somewhere else in the script should be executed using branching structures.

Conditional Structures  

A)    If...Then...Else:

It allows you to choose which block of code to execute based on a condition or series of conditions.

If condition1 Then
  code block 1
ElseIf condition2 Then
  code block 2
Else
  code block 3
End If

If condition1 is True, code block 1 is executed. If it is False, and condition2 is True, code block 2 is executed. If condition1 and condition2 are False, code block 3 executes.
An If...Then construct may have zero or more ElseIf statements, and zero or one Else statements.
You can use NOT to reverse the logic of the IF structure. (i.e. If Not...Then...Else)

B)    Select Case:

It can be used instead of using some really complex If...Then constructs.

Select Case variable
Case chioce1
  code block 1
Case choice2
  code block 2
...
Case choiceN
  code block N
Case Else
  default code block
End Select

This compares the value of variable with choice1, choice2, and so on. If it finds a match, it executes the code block associated with that choice. If it does not find a match, it executes the default code block.

 Looping Structures

Looping structures allow you to execute the same block of code repeatedly. The number of times it executes may be fixed or may be based on one or more conditions. Be careful not to create an endless loop; that is one where the condition required to break the loop is never met.

 

A)    For...Next :

The looping structures take the following form:

For counter = start to s
  code block
Next

code block is executed with counter having the value start, then again with counter having the value start+1, then start+2, and so on until it has the value s. It then leaves the loop.

Optionally, you may specify a different value to increment counter by using this construct:

For counter = start to s Step stepvalue
  code block
Next

counter will take the values start+stepvalue, for example if stepvalue is 2 counter will count by 2s. If stepvalue is negative, s should be less than start.

B)    For Each...Next :

The loop use the following form:

For Each item In set
  code block
Next

code block is executed with item taking the value of each member of set. set should be an array or a collection.

C)    Do...While looping structure:

Do While booleanValue
  codeblock
Loop

code block is executed as long as booleanValue is True. If it is False to begin with, the loop is not executed at all.

D)    While...Wend looping structures have the following form :

while booleanValue
  code block
Wend

code block is executed as long as booleanValue is True. If it is False to begin with, the loop is not executed at all. Note: Wend is not supported in ASP.NET; use End While instead.

E)    Do...Loop While looping structure:

Do
  code block
Loop While booleanValue

code block is executed as long as booleanValue is True. The loop is executed at least once no matter what.

F)     Do Until...Loop looks like this:

Do Until booleanValue
  code block
Loop

code block is executed as long as booleanValue is False. If it is True to begin with, the loop is not executed at all.

G)    Do...Loop Until uses the following form:

Do
  code block
Loop Until booleanValue

code block is executed as long as booleanValue is False. The loop is executed at least once no matter what.

 Branching Structures:

  Branching structures allow you to jump from one position in the code to another.  

Subroutines:

It  do not return a value. They simply execute.

Sub name (argumentlist)
  code block
End Sub

Functions:

It return a value and have the following form:

Function name (argumentlist)
  code block
name = expression
End Function

Regular Expression in QTP

I found regular expression concept in QTPro is a very strong concept.I found it is very much helpful in web application.In web applicatiton the web object are changed dynamic.Now i am going to describe the regular expression.I found some useful content regarding the regular expression and their use while i was exploring some sites.

Regular Expression:

A regular expression is a formula for matching strings that follow some pattern.

In QuickTest Regular Expressions can be used in 3 places: 

1) Object Repository 

2) CheckPoints 

3) RegExp object.

Navigation through OR in QTP

·         Open the object repository

·         Select the desired object in the object hierarchy

·         Select the desired property in the properties list

·         Click on the constant value options button

·         Replace the constant value with suitable regular expression

·         Select the check box regular expression

·         Click on ok

·         Click on ok

           There's a good reason that regular expressions are found in so many diverse applications: they are extremely powerful. At a low level, a regular expression describes a chunk of text.

RegularExpression Cheat Sheet

Debugging

The following is the debugging process and the operational overview of the different step command available during debugging

Debugging:

Debugging is a process of executing the script or a program in a user desired passion with some temporary breaks in order to identify the errors.

To do the same QTP has provided step commands and break point feature.

Step commands: -

1. Step into
2. Step Out
3. Step over

1. Step into:

Step into is used for executing a single statement then it will step in to the function or action and stops the execution.

2. Step Out:

Step out is used for executing all the remaining statements from the position of pointer in the function of the action and comes out of the function or action and stops execution

3. Step Over:

Step over is used for executing the single statement if that statement is a function call or action call then it will execute all the statements in side the function or action once and stops the execution

Break Point:

Break point is the feature provided by QTP, which is used for breaking the execution temporarily.

Debug viewer Pane:

Debug viewer pane is used for viewing, modifying or setting the currant value of the variables or expressions during the execution break with the help of three tabs by name

1. Watch expressions
2. Variables
3. Command

Reporter utility object

Reporter utility object: -

It is used for reporting an user defined message to the result window

SYNTAX:

Reporter.Reportevent status,”object name”,”message”

Example: Reporter.Reportevent micdone,”my report”,”add button is working fine”.

Status:

Pass	0
Fail	1
Done	2
Warning	3

Transaction point in QTP

Transaction point:

 It is a concept introduced in QTP which is used for calculating the time taken by an application to perform a specific task or the execution time of a block of statement.

QTP has provided the following transaction options.

1. Start transaction
2. End transaction

Syntax:

Services.start transaction ”transaction name”

“ statement 1”

“ statement 2

Services.end transaction ”transaction name”

OUT PUT VALUE in QTP:

OUT PUT VALUE: -

Out put value is a feature provided by QTP, which is used for capturing a value from an application or from a database or from a XML file and stores it under specified column in the runtime data table

Operational overview of out put value: -

The out put value feature works in the following phases

1. Pre-Execution Phase
2. While –Execution Phase

1. Pre-Execution phase:

            It will capture the field name from which it need to capture the value

            It will generate the corresponding script

2. While-Execution phase:

            Captures the actual value from the field

            Stores it under a specified column in the run time data table

Out Put Values-

There are the following types of out put values

• Standard Out Put Value: - It is used for capturing property value of a standard GUI object.
• Text Out Put Value: - It is used for capturing the text present on a specified object
• Text-Area Out Put Value: - It is used for capturing the Text present in a specified area
• Data Base Out Put Value: - It is used for capturing a value from the database
• XML Out put Value: - It is used for capturing a value from the XML file

Navigation for Standard Out put value through application:

• Keep the cursor in the desired location
• Keep the tool under recording mode
• Activate the menu item insert
• Go to out put value
• Select the option standard out put value
• Click on the desired object in the AUT
• Click on OK
• Select the desired property to be captured
• Click on modify
• Specify the desired column name
• Click on Ok
• Once again click on ok
• Stop recording

Navigation For standard check point through Active Screen

• Keep the cursor under the desired location
• Click on active screen
• Right click on desired location
• Click on insert output value
• Click on ok
• Select the desired property
• Click on modify
• Specify the desired column name
• Click on ok
• Once again click on ok.

Data Driven Testing in QTP:

Data Driven Testing

                        Data driven testing is a concept introduced in the automation in order to implement re- testing.

Steps to be followed to perform data driven testing:

• Collect the test data in to the data table
• Generate the basic test
• Parameterize the test
• Execute the Test
• Analyze the result

Parameterization:

                        Parameterization is a process of replacing the constant values with parameters or variables in order to increase the scope of the test. Parameterize can be done in three ways

• Through data driver wizard
• Through key word view
• Manually

Navigation through Data Driver Wizard:

• Activate the menu item tools
• Select the option data driver
• Click on parameterize
• Click on next
• Click on the parameter option button
• Select the desired column name
• Click on ok
• Click on next
• Click on finish
• Finally click on ok

   Navigation Through Key word view:

• Go to key word view
• Select the desited constant value
• Click on configure the value button
• Select the option parameter
• Select the desired column name
• Click on ok

To avoid the above navigation one can directly type manually as follows:

A= datatable(“v1”,1)

Vbwindow(“form1”).vbedit(“val1”).set A

Vbwindow (“form1”).vbedit(“val2”).set datatable(“v2,1)

Vbwindow(“form1”).vbbutton(“Add”).Click

Vbwindow(“form1”).vbedit(“res”).check checkpoint(“RES”)

           

Navigation for parameterizing the check point:

• Right click on the check point statement
• Select the option check point properties
• Select the option parameter
• Click on the parameter options button
• Select the desired column name
• Click on ok
• Once again click on ok

We can also parameter the test objects from object repository/object repository manager.
