The following list the Operating Systems that QTP supports, please refer:

- Windows 2000-Service Pack 3 or Service Pack 4

- Windows XP-Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2,

- Windows 2003 Server.

Note: QuickTest Professional is supported on Windows XP Service Pack 2 only if the execution prevention mechanism (also known as DEP-data execution prevention and NX-no execution) is not activated

I believe this answers your questions and will thereby close this service request. Should you require further clarifications, please do not hesistate to let me know. Thanks.

Regards,

Brahma Sagar

Hi,
test Objects: Any object on which you are going to perform testing, on the basis of recorded object descriptions by QTP is called test objects.
To Identifying a test Object there are two types of Properties i.e.
1.TO Prop: (Test Object Properties)-These are the Object properties captured by QTP
in the form of Object repositories, durring recording of script/or added by you to code in case of a descriptive code.
2. RO Prop:(Runtime Obj Properties) -These are the properties which will be attain by an Object in the real time/Run time of  application Under test.
Note:While playing back an script Qtp will compare To properties stored in ORs with the RO properties if a suitable match found then Qtp will perform the recorded Action of that object else throw an exception.

You need to use the quality center OTA API - you can read the documentation by going to quality center Help->Documentation Library, and under API References, click  HP Quality Center Open Test Architecture API Reference (you will need to download this file to your local hard drive probably, since there is some XP patch that will not allow you to open CHM files from an external server). If you go to the index and search for "StartExecution Method (TestSet)", there is a very nice example at the bottom that shows you a vbs script that you could use to run a test set on your local machine, planned host, or a remote machine. Copy this code to a .vbs file, and execute that with the arguments you need. Let me know if you need any other info about this.

The Prerequisit for Automating the Oracle Application is that You should have a Oracle Add - in for QTP.

After that we need to open the oracle applications and then start recording the oracle Applications.

The only difference between the Web Based and Oracle Applications is that wou will have different objects for the Oracle Applications like

1) OracleTextField.

2) OracleFormWindow.

3) OracleFlexWindow.

4) OracleNotification.

etc....

This is the code for Yahoo Photos Website you can do the same for the yahoo by changing the values in the required places.
CODE: Browser("title:=Yahoo! Photos*.*")
.page("title:=Yahoo! Photos*.*")
.WebEdit("name:=login")
.set "srinivas" Browser("title:=Yahoo! Photos*.*")
.page("title:=Yahoo! Photos*.*")
.WebEdit("name:=passwd")
.set "test"Browser("title:=Yahoo! Photos*.*")
.page("title:=Yahoo! Photos*.*")
.WebButton("name:=Sign In").click

Hi,

Both Per action and shared has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Per Action:

  When we  Record by setting the repository to Per action each and every action will have its own repository. So each action will be independent with the other action w.r.t the Object Repository.

Shared:

When we record by setting the Object Repository to shared mode, all the actions in that particular Test can use the same Shared Object Repository . i.e there will be only one repository which contains all the objects that are required across all the actions.

I am giving this as per my Knowledge there may be some more as well...

There is no specific frame work for the Descriptive programing. When the qtp is not able to recognize the object we need to go for Low level recording. It will treat the object as winobject/webobject

Hi,

there are so many ways

1) Keeping the usernames and passwords in 2 arrays and then looping them

  as below

   usernames =array( "test1","test2","test3" )
   passwords = array ("pass1","pass2","pass3")

   i = 0
   iCount =  ubound(usernames)
   do  While (i <= iCount)   

        'code to set the username password in the application and do the other  steps as well so that u can again enter the username and password  in the application
        i=i+1
   loop

2) Keeping the values in the Datatable and doing the same using datatable functions.

You can use object spy to get the name of the first page number (i.e. the "#1" button string will have either a 1 or a 0 in its string.)

Then you can change this to a variable(say "x") and then use descriptive programming for the string.

You will then have a Loop statement (preferably a For...Next Loop) to check on the max number of page number links that are available on the primary screen (say 5 is the max) and see if "Next Button" is still high lighted.

If it is, click on next after reaching 5 till "Next button" is disabled or does not exist.

When Next button is disabled, the Value of "x" is the total number of result pages(ie if the #1 link starts with a logical number of 1) and x +1 if the #1 link starts with a logical number of 0.

Hi,

I am giving an expample of regression testing.

Example:

We have a "Yahoo" web application. Suppose if yahoo is going to add a new features in their application it has to verify the existing web page along with new features. If it is adding new features for every two months, it has to test existing and new features every time. The repeated testing is nothing but regression.
(means the new functionality does not effect on the existing functionality).

we are using QTP to test the existing functionality is working proprly or not.

For testing Java Objects you need to install an additional Java Plugin. This will enable QTP to identify java objects. This should also solve the java tree problem.

if you already have installed the java plug-in and asking for a method to test java tree objects, there is no single answer i can give. but you might have to apply your own logic through descriptive programming.

1)First install java-addin along with QTP.

2)Set the reqired properties for objects to identify the objects in Tools..>Object identification(Mandatory and assistive properties)

3)Test--->Click Record-->Select javaoption.or click F3.

The script will come as..

Javawindow("").JavaInternalframe("").Javalist("").Select""

Hi,

As the name specifies, "Synchronization Point" is nothing but to say QTP to wait till some specified condition occurs. You can specify the conditions.

We need Synchronization Point because we are always not sure how much time it takes for an Object to get loaded to a page/window.

Let's take an example of "Login" page of any application. You want to provide "UserName" in the UserName field after opening the site via QTP.We can provide value only after "UserName" field is visible. But sometime it may take 10 seconds for the "UserName" field to be appear in the Login page. Sometime it may take 30 seconds (Depends upon the internet speed).At this point QTP script fails as the object is not displayed in the page. So here what we do through "Synchronization Point" is to tell QTP to wait untill the "UserName" field appears on the page, may it take 10 secs or 30 secs.

There are 2 ways (for Web Application) you can acheive this as follows:

Quote:> Browser("").Sync (Only in case of Web App) : QTP waits untill all the objects are loaded to the Browser

> WaitProperty (Any type of App) : QTP waits untill the specified condition is satisfied

Quote:Syntax: Object.WaitProperty "Property Type","Property Value",TimeOut

Ex: Browser("Login").Page("Login").WebEdit("UserName").WaitProperty "visible",True,20000
Browser("Login").Page("Login").WebEdit("UserName").Set "bhaskar"

This is the script, We should first create an object

set oDesc=description.create()
'prefer descriptive programming...batter
oDesec("micclass").value="link"
'get all child objects in an variable
set oLink=browser("name:=.*").page("title:=.*").childobjects(oDesc)
'count all links
intC=oLink.count
'Use print or msgbox or 'reporter.reportevent'
print intC
'it glows links in the web page
for i=0 to intC-1
oLink(i).highlight
next
set oLink=nothing
set oDesc= nothing

'Offer me comment if it works properly

Hi,
We can connect to QC from QTP through QTP File options or direct Icon on QTP window.

Go to your QTP File->QC connections->Provide the Server URL->Login credentials->Project and Domain details to which you want to connect.
Note:Check the Option to Auto connect to QC with each QTP session , in order to avoid entering these details again & again.

Hi all,

We actually have few functions to add the results to the Excel File instead in the QTP Results Window.

Solution description: We will be using a seperate Sheet by name "Results" in which the Results of the Test will be appened.

There are 2 functions

1) initOutExcel(sTablePath)

         Description : This function is to initialize a particular Excel Where you want to update the Results of the QTP Tests.

2) WriteResults(sTablePath,sStatus,sFunctionality,sDescription)

        Description : This function appends the Result of a  Test to the end of the existing results.

You can modify the below functions to suite your requitrement.

CODE:

Function initOutExcel(sTablePath)

  Datatable.addSheet "Results"

  Datatable.importSheet sTablePath, "Results","Results"

  iParamCount = Datatable.getSheet("Results").getParameterCount

  if iParamCount = 0 Then

     Datatable.getSheet("Results").addParameter "S.No",""

    Datatable.getSheet("Results").addParameter "Status",""

    Datatable.getSheet("Results").addParameter "Functionality",""

    Datatable.getSheet("Results").addParameter "Description",""

  End If

   Datatable.ExportSheet sTablePath,"Results"

End Function

Function WriteResults(sTablePath,sStatus,sFunctionality,sDescription)

  Datatable.addSheet "Results"

  Datatable.importSheet sTablePath, "Results","Results"

  iRowCount = Datatable.getSheet("Results").getRowCount

  Datatable.getSheet("Results").setCurrentRow(iRowCount+1)

  Datatable("S.No","Results") = iRowCount+1

  Datatable("Status","Results") = sStatus

  Datatable("Description","Results") = sDescription

  Datatable("Functionality","Results") = sFunctionality

  Datatable.ExportSheet sTablePath,"Results"

End Function

go to Resources menu-Object Repository-select the particular text object in left window pane. In right window pane select attached text column field value, a browse icon ('<#>') becomes visible and  click on  it and  select  Regular  expression  checkbox (click on 'No' option in a appeared dialogbox) and  exactly in the place  of  1  write  as  [0-9]*  
example: text 1           'before  replacement
                text [0-9]*    'after replacement  is valid
                text[0-9]*    'after replacement  is not valid because no space in between text and regular expression
