Keyword driventesting is new concept in qtp.

QTP has two views:

1.Keyword view

2. expert view

in keyword view one can see the object the operation performed on it and it's value

In keyword driven testing you use the recorded object to generate operations on it.

i mean you select a object and press f7 or right click the mouse and select insert step menu.that way you can generate code without having to generate it manually.

This is called keyword driven testing.Each object visible can be thaught of as keyword

DataDriven testing:

Datadrivent testing means testing the same functionality of application with different set of data to check whether it works on all kind of data.

For this case you parameterize a step in qtp put alll the data values in datatable and run the script for number of iterations equal to number of rows in datatable.

Hi Key word driven testing is the one way of scripting the testcase without writing the code. here u no need to write the code just select the object properties and the funtions which u want to do operations on it and the parametrs u want to declare.

u can do this if u dont know the scripting in vbs

Hi

As the script will automatically generate while we record a test in the expert view.And objects are identified and displayed in keyword view.How do we make use of keyword driven testing without writing the code.

Can u explain what exactly is keyword driven testing in QTP 8.2.

Awaiting for your answer.

keyword driven testing means testing the same functionality of application with different set of data to check whether it works on all kind of data. It similar to data driven testing in winrunner

A Keyword Framework is an application-independent automation framework. This framework requires the development of data tables and keywords independent of the test automation tool used to execute them and the test script code that drives the Application Under Test (AUT) and the data. Keyword driven tests look very similar to manual test cases. In a Keyword Framework the functionality of the AUT is documented in a table as well as in step-by-step instructions for each test. The governing concept in a Keyword Framework is that the logic of each test is defined externally of the scripts.

Keyword-driven testing is a technique that separates much of the programming work from the actual test steps so that the test steps can be developed earlier and can often be maintained with only minor updates even when the application or testing needs change significantly.

Using the keyword-driven approach test automation experts have full access to the underlying test and object properties via an integrated scripting and debugging environment that is round-trip synchronized with the Keyword View.
