12/1/2015

                                   Day 1:

- Automation scripts could be used for functional and system testing, Release 1 features being used for Release 2

- More test coverage -- using multiple browser and parameterization

- Before automation - validate the application manually

- UFT - could be used for API testing

- Generally API does not have front end application, that is difficult test. UFT = API+QTP

- Can we integrate Rally with QTP?

- Web services ex: When you give zip code, to the service, response it will give weather condition

- Service virtualization:(Non GUI)

-> request -> Virtualization tool -> Service

UFT takes care of Service virtualization as a whole.

Here in virtualization tool, you need not have service to test, you can create mock up service.

If you wanted to test service down scenario, you need not make service down to test, just use virtualization

- That is how UFT covers GUI and Non GUI

- UFT Insight- Image based automation?

- UFT Mobile - Extended support for mobile testing?

- HP Lab Management - with the help of Jenkins

Traditional Client execution:

HPClient   Remote Host

||

Server     Server

- UFT compatable with Jenkins, will save time in virtual machine execution

- Run Debug mode -- is newly introduced in UFT???

Ex: object.method.debugmode

- Tool home page:

Menu bar, tool bar, document tabs, canvas, solution explorer pane, Data pane

- UFT new test -> GUI, API, BPT, BPF??

- Tabs displayed in the Record and Run settings, is based on the addins that you selected during the initial stage

- UFT/QTP records in Mozilla, Chrome also???—yes, you could see chrome and Mozilla in and Record and Run settings window.

- Low level recording -- is also for conitinous mouse movements based on coordinates

- Insight Recording - Images. Appearance. Not image comparision.

- In Amex laptop, windows recording even if it is defualt is showing dimensions.

- Captche -- cannot be automated, better disable it and then test application

- Insight recording - expecially for image look and feel. Icons are stored here.???

- How API testing is done using QTP??

Open test as API

Load WSDL(get it from the website)

Methods are displayed in explorer

drag the methods to canvas

you could see xml(Request and response parameters) on the right side - properties window

Give the input values to the xml in the request xml

Run the tool

You could see result in response xml tags on the right side window

In the result you could clearly see request and response xmls

Note - Web Service url- WSDL file

http://www.webservicex.net/Geoipservice.asmx?wsdl

Note: Authorization error when you try to import the WSDL file to UFT??

- UFT mostly uses ordinal identifier by default..looks like?

-  UFT costs 8000 to 12k per seat

- Pefromance of other applications will be reduce while running UFt

- UFT does not work on all browser versions --- so testers use patch file

- UFT works with Mac…if it is on remote machine???
- Selenium supports more browsers but UFT does only Mozilla, chrome and IE

- Selenium used only for web but UFT could be used for web  and windows

- UFT does continuous integration using Jenkins or ALM, but selenium uses many tools to do continuous integration

- Image based tests easy in UFT(using insight recording), but in selenium its bit tough

- Integrating with Jenkins for Selenium, you can use more reporting concepts than QC has.

-  what is testing scroll and tab functionality called as?

- Editors view or expert view the same. Keyword view gives the object- value details. Using toggle you can move the respective object in keyword view to the respective object in the editors view.

-  If object has html id then it will always be unique.

- Preference:

UFT identifies objects based on the following order

Mandatory property -> Assistive property -> Ordinal identifier

-        Native property(could be found only in object spy not in object repository)(Browser specific) and test object property(that QTP has it)

-        We can create script(add steps) using only Keyword view. Documentation column in the keyword view is not editable but it gives details of what that step is doing

-        Object is a collection of class, Ex: webbutton and web edit are the classes of two different objects.

-        Description properties – the objects listed in here are looked by QTP.

Browser(“”).page(“”).webedit(“objectname”)…here objectname is not the property or value, its name given by qtp to whole d that QTP has considered to identify the object. Objectname – here are editable

-        Scripts based objectnames when run are more faster than descriptive programming

-        Problem with shared repositories??—common objectnames could create problem or the properties included in the object when merged with other repositories

-        Test objects and Run time objects:

Run time objects are --- marking regular expression to the existing objects and using them without adding new objects to repository

-        http://www.knowledgeinbox.com/articles/qtp/object-identification/gettoproperty-vs-getroproperty/

QTP provides 4 methods for working on a Test object properties

·        GetTOProperty  --- this give the property from test objects I,e is from object Repository (Note: TO – test objects)

·        SetTOProperty … this sets the property of the test objects within Object Repository with some specific value during only Run time. Again after run is completed, property value will be back to the original value, what it was there when recorded or added the objects.

·        GetTOProperties ---

·        GetROProperty  --- this give the property of the object during run time(note: RO – Run time objects)

                                                                        Day 2

Note: So that is why we cannot set the property of the object during run time.

-        Dynamic objects: The object that change during runtime

-        Mail Inbox(232)…has 232 messages and it changes based on the number of unread messages, we could test this by using regular expression. Property could be changed as inbox(.* …. To read that object and click on 232 messages. Ex: .* should be in the double quotes.

-        Ordinal identifier is the one that will be changing frequently, so better make it none for most of the  objects.

Note: Objects could be of any case, as VB scripting is not case sensitive.

Scenario:

1.      clicking the inbox(12343)…in gmail.

2. Going to policy details and getting the policy number for a specific policy holder

Sol: Go the webpage. Add table where the policies are included. Add table and then get the row details .

Like add whole table to object repository

Note: Make sure ordinal identifier is made none, else QTP will also consider those property values that are there in that section along with description properties.

Use GetRowWithCellText  ‘get the row number  of specific policy name

Using row number give it html id of the policy number object.

Ex: htmlid =”dgdfgfdg”&rownumber&”dgdfg”

Using setRoProperty , make html id us the row number(html id might have reference to row number)

Ex: Browser(dfd).Page(dfdg).link(ddg).SetTOProperty(“html_id”, htmlid)

Browser(dfd).Page(dfdg).link(ddg).click

Note: SetTOProperty changes the property of html_id, with the value htmlid only in Object Repository.

Note: In the above example we can remove SetTO and GetRO property code, using descriptive programming.

Browser(gfdg).Page(gdf).link(“html_id:”& htmlid).click

-        Description object:

We do not use Object repository like we do in descriptive programming, but we do create an object with certain properties and values. It is called Description object.

Set obj1= Description.Create

Obj1.set

-        Drawback of Descriptive programming and descriptive object is that whenever there is a change in property of table, then  in every line we have to change in the whole code(lots of maintenance work), but  when you program using object repository then you just need to update object respository. And also object respository programming is faster than descriptive programming.

-        DP general is – is static programming

-        DP - Descriptive objects – is dynamic programming

-        DP could be used along with object repository but order is Object repository of parent with DP of child not the other way(it does not work)

-        with and End with , could be used to avoid Browser(gdfg).page(gdfgfd)…. In the code

Ex: with Browser(gfgfdg).Page(ggfdg)

.link(dfgfd).SetROProperty(dfgfd,fg)

.link(fgfd).click

End with

Note: Descriptive programming is not used regularly in the projects, due to maintenance issue, so better expertise Programming with Object Repository.

-        Smart Identification:

Ex: If the name of google site webedit box – name is changed today, your code will still recognize it even if you have name as only field in description properties. That is because when smart identification is enabled qtp will go and check tools->object identification->web…for webedit you could see mandatory property set as some other tag that could be matching with the webedit object. And smart identification is with only normal programming(that is with object repository not with descriptive programming). Configure, smart identification object.

-        Scenario: Go to blogger and click my blogs and click the ‘3 post’ link in the blog.

Note: difficulty here is ‘3 posts’ link is there in multiple blogs so that qtp will say that ‘3 posts’ exists in multiple locations.

-        Global sheet will have your business components, and Action1…. Are local sheets.

Action1 can have – login, logout etc…

-        Import operations that are done in QTP are only run time, you should have file in local machine even after import.

-        Run settings are for Global sheet only, it means the iterations mentioned in Run settings will be applied only for the rows in Global sheet. So that is why Global sheet is global to QTP but action sheet is local (that cannot be iterated by mentioning the run settings), you should have separate code for the iterations to happen for local sheets.

-        Scenario: Check the impact of iterations mentioned in the Run settings getting reflected for Global sheet and local sheets.

-        Scenario:

-         

-        Using Environment variable concept you cannot iterate but using datatable we can. Environment variable values exist with the code but not datatable values(as datatable is run time). And we can import xml using environment variable. In frameworks developer uses absolute path variables as environment variables.

-        Importing environmental variables from XML? yes

Go to File-> Test settings->Environmental variables -> Load file browse

Syntax: Environment.value(“Policy”) …. Here Policy is the tag in xml, the value will be returned from this line of code.

-         

Day 3

-        We can define new object from object repository manager.

-        We can validate regular expression from the object repository ---- and highlight the application after writing the regular expression. This acts as a validator.

-        Visual relation identifier – in Object Repository this is latest addition to UFT. This will help you to identify the present object based on the left or right object.

-         

Note: Please do not xpath in the selenium or QTP, as the hierarchy could be changed any time. So evertying

COM(component object model) components:

-        Excels:

Set excelobj = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)

excelobj.Quit ---

Set excelobj=Nothing --- must to used to release the object memory

 Note: if you are not using Quit and Nothing, your application will hang, and creates un-necessary problems.

-        Filesystemobject

-        IE

-        Import the datatable is possible using adding resource in the tool, import in the code or use Excel application object in the code

-        ADODB is just a connection, could be used to connect Excel and other databases. But while connecting to Excel, use $ infront of the column names while interacting with Excel in the queries. So in live projects, teams use move excel data to DB(MSAccess) and create MSAccess object and then use ADODB object start interacting.

-        Registering the function

And then UnRegister function

Ex: We can also register WebEdit, not use Set method or something

1.      We can override the existing methods of QTP, like micfail is the existing thing in QTP for reporting the results, ppl registered it by adding screenshots to the micfail as it did not had by default.

              Recovery Scenario

-        In real project teams stopped using Recovery scenarios as the performance is getting impacted.  As everytime when every recovery scenario is updated in the QTP tool, so that .qrs file gets created everytime. Performance degradation is possible. Alternatively teams use a separate code, so that application could handle exceptions.

-        Resources->Recovery scenario manager

Virtual Object

UFT – has ‘Regular Expression Evaluator’ in the tools, that will help you to evaluate the Regular Expression there and then. There could be RegEx method for evaluating regular expression002E

                                                                 Day 4:

-        An alternate to childobjects method is getElementsByTagName Method (DOMDocument).

DOM could be used here by making your entire web page as a Document.

For the list of links in a page:

.getElementsByTagName(“A”)

-        Frameworks

-        DataDriven/Modular driven –

-        Keyword driven/low level – here keywords are functions.

Here in the excel(data file) we have names of business operations or functions (design function with the same name). Or sometimes we also have excel file name.

Types of files in Framework:

Business Components

Data table

Driver script

Object Repository

Configfile — name of the project name, urls---notepad???? Note: Environment.value(“url”) …If the variables are assigned values in notepad, can we read data from notepad.

Note: functions could be assigned to Set method, so that return value of the function could be assigned to the the web element.

1.      Closedescendentprocesses

2.      setcurrentpage

                                        Day 5

-        Iterations?—Iterations are something  per each record in data table. If you mention that ‘on all Iterations’ in settings, it means all records in Datatable will be picked.

-        We can create QTP object—got to QTP help for the code. Yes it is possible to create COM object for QTP

-        Fast mode – Run is possible if you set the Fast mode in Tools->Options->Fast

Qtpcomobject.Options.Run.RunMode= “Fast”.

Two types of Run modes exist 1. Normal and 2. Fast

-        If you have QTP COM object, then you could access menu bar and different options using Options method.

           Scenarios:

-        Add object

-        Exceptions:

1.      How to open the application from Start button using vbscript

2.      Unable to see

3.      Is there any alternate to ChildObjects method, as childobject is with description object(descriptive programming)—looks like DOM – getElementsbytagname…should be an alternate

4.      Adding object—new objects in the Object Repository

5.      In the config file, we have notepad too, it has variable and values, how could qtp read data from notepad that has urls and other variable values

6.      Unable to define new test object in QTP, when you click add after clicking new object, it does not add.
