Testing process in QTP

Testing process in QTP:

To automate functionality testing with help of QTP we use following process

Plan the Test:

Analyze automation test scenario which you want to test

Prepare Tool for Recording:

In this phase we should open QTP with required Add-ins based on application environment in order to support

Specify on which application operations QTP need to convert into automation script using “Record & Run Settings”

Navigation:

“Automation” menu

Select “Record & Run Settings”

Or

Click on “Record” icon in a New Test

In “Record & Run Settings” there are 2 types of options

1.      Record and Run test on any open windows based application:

When we select this option QTP able to record multiple application operations into automation script

2.      Record & Run only on:

When we select this option QTP records only on specified application operations and also QTP is able to launch application during recording and Runtime

Ex: prepare QTP to record only “FR” application operations

Navigation:

Open “R & R Settings”

Select “Record & Run Test only on” option

Click on [+] button

Browse “FR” application path

Select “Launch application” if required (when application not available on screen)

Click on “OK”

Click on “Ok”

Generating Basic script:

To perform required business transactions on AUT we generate basic script using recording modes or by writing script manually.

Enhancement of script:

After creation of basic script in order to validate application actual behavior we perform some editing operations in the script.

Following are the options we use during enhancement of script:

Checkpoints:

Output values

Conditional statements

Loop statements

Test object methods

Synchronization points

Transaction points

Parameterize script

Debug test script:

After enhancement to identify any logical errors and to confirm script will smoothly or not we perform debugging

Following are the debug commands:

Breakpoint

Add to watch

Step Into

Step Out

Step Over

Execution of test script:

After debugging in order to validate application functionalities we execute test scripts as Test batches

Analyze Result:

After execution QTP provides test result in terms of pass/fail, where we analyze test result

Defect Reporting:

During result analysis if any defects deviations are identified then we can log the defect directly into Quality Center or we can export test result
