Quick Test Object Reference Model

Crypt Object – Encrypt Method  

          Encrypt the string variable using Encrypt Method Ex: User can use the Password for securities

Pwd = "vinodh"

Cpwd = Crypt.Encrypt (Pwd)

Explain the difference between Keyword view and Expert view

Keyword view:

Keyword is a table view structure, it represent for each row for part of the action. It contain following view as below like “item, operation, value, documentation, assignment and comments “

Item

Represent hierarchical tree view of the Test object within the table. It contains following items available on

·         Test object

·         Utility object

·         Function call

·         Statement

Operation 

What operation should be performed for each test objects in the table view like..

·         Run

·         Set

·         Secure

·         Enter

·         Type

·         Select

·         Close

Value

File location, Path , Value, Inputs of the each Test objects

Documentation

It will capture the file location; Test objects inputs and each to understand the each test objects what does for the test objects in the application

Expert View:

QTP displays each step as a VBScript line or statement. In object-based steps, the VBScript statement defines the object hierarchy

Note: Test object and method names are not case sensitive

The following diagram shows how the same object hierarchy is displayed in the Expert View and in the Keyword View

Descriptive Programming in QTP

Object Repository:

Ø  OR is a place to stores QTP learned objects

Ø  QTP uses default Object Identification properties: mandatory and assistive to learn objects into OR

Script play back using OR

-          QTP find the Objects in OR using Logical name and Object hierarchy

-          QTP retrieve the test object properties from OR

-          QTP search the application for the object with the same object in OR and perform the user action

Descriptive Programming:

v  Learn the object Properties and physical description of the objects and used into Script level

v  Descriptive properties is store Script level

Script play back using Descriptive programming

-          QTP search the AUT for the Object using Descriptive properties and performs user action

How to use the Descriptive programming

They are two ways in which descriptive programming can be used as below

1)    By creating properties for collection of Objects or Child Objects

    We can use description object to get all the objects on the page that matches that specific description. Suppose we have to check all the checkboxes present on a web page. So we will first create an object description for a checkbox and then get all the checkboxes from the page

Dim obj_ChkDesc
Set obj_ChkDesc=Description.Create
obj_ChkDesc(“html tag”).value = “INPUT”
obj_ChkDesc(“type”).value = “checkbox”
Dim allCheckboxes, singleCheckBox
Set allCheckboxes = Browse(“Browser”).Page(“Page”).ChildObjects(obj_ChkDesc)
For each singleCheckBox in allCheckboxes
             singleCheckBox.Set “ON”
Next

2)    By creating properties for Single Objects

        When going for single or specific point within a test object hierarchy, you must create descriptive properties from starting onwards

For Example,

Dialog("text:=Login").Activate

Dialog("text:=Login").WinEdit("attached text:=Agent Name:").Set "vinodh"

Dialog("text:=Login").WinEdit("attached text:=Agent Name:").Type  micTab

Dialog("text:=Login").WinEdit("attached text:=Password:").SetSecure "4c18d6c06f2d8fe29ad434c54106936bc9199553"

Dialog("text:=Login").WinButton("regexpwndtitle:=OK").Click

Window("text:=Flight Reservation").Close

Note: If initially of the code used OR objects after that, if used descriptive properties, QTP doesn’t recognize  the objects

For example

Dialog("text:=Login").WinButton("OK").Click

Object Spy in QTP

Object spy pointing mechanism for view the supported properties and methods of spy objects. Click on the “Hand symbol” button and select the window or object , it will display the Properties and value of the objects

There are two ways to Spy the objects in QTP

1) Choose Tools-> Object Spy

2) Object repository Dialog

Note:- The Application or object is not visible, hold the Ctrl button and Click or activate the required window to and release the Ctrl button

Object repository in QTP

Understand the Object Repository:

          While Record the Application, Manually Define or Add the Objects it stored into Object Repository. All Objects displayed in the tree view

v  Name:- Name of the Objects

v  Class: Class of the objects

v  Repository : Repository location and Default like “ Local”

v  Test Object details:

v  Description Properties: View/Modify the object’s properties and property value.

v  Ordinal Identifier : It indicate the Identifier Type – Location or Index  and Value 0(Default value)

v  Additional details : it will display Smart Identification is disable or enable and comments

Add the Objects into OR

v  Ctrl+ R (or) Resources -> Object Repository. Select  “Add object to Local” button, highlight the application or window, it will capture all the objects and stored into Object Repository 

Recovery scenario manager for QTP

Unexpected events, errors, and application crashes during a running session can disrupt your application and execution section. This is a problem particularly when tests run unattended window or pop-up or Notification. The test pauses until you perform the operation needed to recover.

QTP enables you to create recovery scenarios and associate them with specific tests. Recovery scenarios activate specific recovery operations when trigger events occur.

Define the Recovery scenario

1.    Trigger Event:-

      Pop-up window:-Pops up window an opened the applications during the test run

               Object State: - Object identification issue in our application not match specified value

               Test Run:- Step in your test does not run successfully

               Application crash: Open applications fails during the run times

2.    Recovery Event

     Select the operation to perform when the trigger event occurs

Operation type

               Keyboard or Mouse Operation

               Close application process

               Function call

               Restart the OS (windows)

3.    Post Recovery Event

The recovery operations have been performed and which point in the test or QTP should be continue, the following steps are available in QTP like

     Repeat current Step and Continue

     Proceed to next step

     Proceed to next action or component iteration

     Proceed to next test iteration

     Restart current test run

     Stop the test run

Finally entered the recovery scenario name and saved the operation
