‘Parameterization in QTP using DataTable

Data driven means that we run same QTP script using different data.
For example you can create Login script and then use data driven methods to run that script multiple times with multiple sets of userid and passwords.
Using QTP data tables
Using Excel sheets
Using Access database
You can use ADODB object to get data from Excel and Access and put that data in Arrays or Dictionary object and then can use that data in different scripts.
Parameterization in QTP using Data Table :
Invoke Application "C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe"
Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set Data Table.Value("A","Global")
Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Password:").Set Data Table.Value("B","Global")
Dialog("Login").WinButton("OK").Click
Window("Flight Reservation").Close
Example :
Data Driven Testing in QTP by passing different values thru external data files such as excel.
SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE","","C:\Documents and Settings\ahamad","open"
Datatable.Import("D:\data.xls")
Datatable.AddSheet(1)
row_cnt=datatable.getrowcount
Msgbox row_cnt
For i=1 to row_cnt
Uid=Datatable.Value("Uid",1)
msgbox Uid
Password=Datatable.Value("Password",1)
msgbox Password
Browser("Browser").Page("gmail.email").Link("Mail").Click
Browser("Browser").Page("gmail.email").WebEdit("login").Set DataTable("Uid")
Browser("Browser").Page("gmail.email").WebEdit("passwd").SetSecure DataTable("Password")
Browser("Browser").Page("gmail.email").WebButton("Sign In").Click
Browser("Browser").Page("gmail.email (ahamadqtp)").WebElement("Sign Out").Click

HTTP Test Tool (htt)

HTTP Test Tool (htt) is an open source scriptable protocol test tool for HTTP protocol based products like web servers, web browsers, web applications or ICAP.
Software products are per se not error free. Adding new features, fixing errors and upgrading library versions can all introduce new errors and security holes. A protocol test tool helps to detect errors within HTTP protocol based Software. It is very simple and can therefore do bad requests/response to emulate bad or malicious server/client software. There are many more protocol test tools for HTTP like OpenSTA, ApacheBench, Selenium... which also can do stress testing.

QF-Test

Recovery Scenarios -QTP

Recovery Scenarios
What is a recovery scenario:
Recovery scenario - a definition of an unexpected event or error or application crash and the operation(s) necessary to recover the run session
A recovery scenario consists of the following
Trigger Event—The event that interrupts your run session.
Recovery Operation(s)—The operation(s) that need to be performed in order to continue running the test or component
Post-Recovery Test Run Option—The instructions on how Quick Test should proceed once the recovery operations have been performed, and from which point in the test or component Quick Test should continue, if at all.
Recommendations for using Recovery Scenarios
If you can predict that a certain event may happen at a specific point in your component, it is highly recommended to handle that event directly within your component by adding steps such as If statements or “Optional Steps” in user-defined functions, rather than depending on a recovery scenario.
You should use recovery scenarios only for unpredictable events, or events that you cannot synchronize with a specific step in your component.
Handling an event directly within your component enables you to handle errors more specifically than recovery scenarios. It also enables you to control the timing of the corrective operation with minimal resource usage and maximum performance.
Different Recovery Operations:
Keyboard or mouse operation—QuickTest simulates a click on a button in a window or a press of a keyboard key.
Close application process—QuickTest closes specified processes.
Restart Microsoft Windows—QuickTest restarts Microsoft Windows.
Function call—QuickTest calls a VBScript function.
Different Post-Recovery Test Run Options:
Repeat current step and continue
The current step is the step that QuickTest was running when the recovery scenario was triggered.
Proceed to next step
Skips the step that Quick Test was running when the recovery scenario was triggered.
Restart current test run
Stops performing steps and re-runs the component from the beginning.
Stop the test run
Stops running the component.
Associating Recovery Scenarios with the test:
While associating the recovery with your test, you need to specify when you want to activate recovery scenarios i.e. only on errors or on every steps.
If you select On errors option then keep in mind that by default, recovery operations will be activated only when a step returns an error, which can potentially occur several steps after the one that actually caused the error. So you may get the advantages of using recovery scenarios
If you select on every steps then keep in mind that checking for trigger events after every step, may slow performance.
