Hi,

I need a framework for keyword driven approach using QTP for testing a web based application.
Please let me know how to start with it as I have all the test cases ready with me, but dunno how to start with the framework and have also heard that lot of scripting will be needed. But I am new to this approach, please share with your knowledge about it.

Thanks in advance,
VJ

hi,
Define different functions for every specific functionality in the library files.
Associate all the library files with Quick test.

for eg: login,Account search take this two functionalities

define the function for login save this files with extension .vbs this is library file
define the function for Accountsearch save this file with extension .vbs
Now u associate these library files with Quick Test using
Test->Settings->Resources->add the library files
or
write this statement as first in ur test script
Executefile "path name of the .vbs file"
Now call the function in Test script using select case decision statement
To execute this functions we are passing keywords from datatable.
key1=datatable.value("functionlaity",1)
select case key1
case "log":login()
case "Acc":Accountsearch()
end case
In datatable write the keywords with column name functionality
functionality
log
Acc

Thanks,

Hello laxmi, first u confirm one thing that r u using any test management tool like quality center or test director. then in test plan u have to define the folder structure. Other in ur local drive u have to define it. And from setting u call all ur library files, environment variables(global) then define a startup script to call all other test scenario scripts. Startup script also known as driverscript. Make all test scenario scripts as reusable actions. Follow scripting standards and all 09850833878 (surya) any help regarding this i will do my level best. All the best surya

Thanks for the reply,
1.I am trying a pilot on a web based application with a framework using QTP.
2. This framework will be like a functional framework, as in we have the repository (stored all the objects of each page of athe application) and we have made few functions for each type of testing.
3. I am also parameterizing the browser and pages called for each function.
4. Now, I have the test data and the functions, but I am not sure how to make calls to each function (with input parameters)?
5. I had thought of putting functions to be called in 1 column and the next column would contain the test data.
6. The test data includes -> input parameters for the function, browser_name & page_name.
7. Now my second question is how to call each function row-wise and instruct it to take the data from the next column. Then continue similarly with next row?
8. Also this excel sheet will be called by another excel sheet --> which has a list of scenarios to be executed.
So, Each scenario in this group excel sheet will be corresponding to a set of few functions in the testcase excel sheet.

I hope you got what I am in need of?

Thanks in advance,
VJLAXMI
