Object Identification during Runtime/Test Object Model (TOM)

Test Object: 

Objects which are exist in “Object Repository”

Where Test object consist some of the description property values

Runtime Object: 

Objects which are exist in AUT

Where Runtime object consist all the property values which are provided by developer

During runtime QTP use Test object description property values to identify runtime object in AUT, based on logical name used in the script

Learning process:

Adding new test objects into Object Repository is called learning or application maps

Learning can be performed in 2 ways:

1.      Auto-learning:

During recording by default QTP captures application object description properties on which object we perform operation and then collected description properties QTP maintain in the local OR

2.      Pre-learning:

When we write script manually at that time QTP is not able to collect corresponding Test object description properties.TE is responsible to add required Test objects in the Object repository based on which objects QTP need to perform operations

Navigation:

Ø  “Resources” menu in QTP

Ø  Select “Object Repository”

Ø  “Object” menu in OR

Ø  Select “Add objects to local” option

Ø  Click on application object

Ø  Click on “OK” after confirmation

Ø  Select Filter option based on requirement

Ø  Click on “OK”

Note: During pre-learning when we select parent object in application then QTP provides following Filter options

a.      Selected object only:

When we select this option QTP collects only parent object information without child objects

b.      Default object types:

In general we prefer this filter option

When we select this option QTP collects parent object and child objects information on which objects we can perform operations

c.       All object types:

When we select this option QTP collects parent object and all the child objects information including static text and static images

d.      Selected object types:

Using this filter option we can add specified class objects information only from parent object

Ex: add all the “Button” class test objects information only into OR from “FR” window

Ex: write script to select “Font…” option in “Format” menu in Notepad application

Password Encoder

Password Encoder:

It is built-in tool in QTP to generate encoded string for given password value

Navigation:

Ø  Start menu

Ø  All programs

Ø  QTP

Ø  Tools

Ø  Select “Password Encoder”

Ex: write script to open 5^th order number record in “FR” application

Step 1: activate “FR” window

Step 2: select “Open Order…” option in “File” menu

Step 3: activate “Open Order” sub window

Step 4: set “ON” for “Order No.” check box

Step 5: enter value “5” in edit box

Step 6: click on “OK” button

Script:

Window(“FR”).Activate

Window(“FR”).WinMenu(“Menu”).select “File;Open Order…”

Window(“FR”).Dailog(“Open Order”).Activate

Window(“FR”).Dialog(“Open Order”).WinCheckbox(“Order No.”).set “ON”

Window(“FR”).Dialog(“Open Order”).WinEdit(“Edit”).set “5”

Window(“FR”).Dialog(“Open Order”).winbutton(“OK”).click

Using “With” statements:

Using “With” statement in the script we can avoid writing parent object in each step

Syntax:

With objectclass (“object name”)

                  .Method “value”

                  ------

                  -----

End With

Object Spy

Object Spy:

Using this component we can view the application object property values and operations which we can perform on that object

Navigation:

Ø  Click on “Tools” menu in QTP

Ø  Select “Object Spy”

Ø  Click on hand icon button

Ø  Click on application object which object properties and operations do you want to view

Note:

Window class object will contain Menu options

Dialog class object will not contain menu options

Ex: write script to perform login operation

Step 1: Activate Login window

Step 2: enter “Mindq” in “Agent Name:” edit box

Step 3: enter “Mercury” in “Password:” edit box

Step 4: click on “OK” button

Script:

Dialog(“Login”).Activate

Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Agent Name:”).set “Mindq”

Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Password:”).set “Mercury”

Dialog(“Login”).WinButton(“OK”).click
