Nagesh Sir Class Notes AUTOMATION TESTING

MANUAL TESTING Testing an application with human interaction is called Manual Testing. Drawbacks of Manual Testing (i) Time consuming. (ii) More resources required. (iii) Human Errors (iv) Repetition of the Task is not much (v) Tiredness (vi) Simultaneous auctions are not possible (Parallel) Automation Testing Testing an application with 3rd Party Software help is called Automation Testing. (or) Testing an application with an Automation Tool is also called as Automation Testing. a) b) c) d) e) f) Benefits of Automation Testing: Fast Reliable Repeatable Reusable Comprehensive Programmable. a) Fast Automation tool runs tests significantly more faster than human users. b) Reliable Automation tool can perform the same operation each time, if you repeated multiple times, so that we can eliminate human errors. c) Repeatable We can check how application or website reacts after repeated the same operation with multiple times.

d) Reusable Automation scripts are reusable on different version of the application of websites even if the user interfaces changes. e) Comprehensive In automation testing we can build a suit of tests that covers every feature in the application or website. f) Programmable. We can program sophisticated Tests that bring out hidden information from the application. 1) 2) 3) 4) Drawbacks of Automation Testing It is expensive We cannot automate all areas. Lack of expertisation. It has some limitations (It cannot test every thing) Which Software Testing should be automated? Tests that need to be execute of every build of the application (Sanity Testing) Tests that use multiple data values (Retesting / Data Drives Testing) Tests that required data from application intimates (G.U.I. Attributes) Load and Stress Testing Which Software Testing should not be automated? Usability Testing One time testing Quick look Tests or A.S.A.P (As soon as possible) Testing Ad-hoc testing / Random Testing Customers requirement are frequently changing. Type of Tools Generally they are (4) Types of tools are available in the market. They are Functional Tools: QTP, WinRunner, Silktest, Rational Robot, TestPartner, etc., Performance Tools: LoadRunner, J-Meter etc., Test Management Tools: Quality Center (QC), Test Director. Version Control Tools VSS (Visual Safe Source), PVCS (Polytron Version Control System) etc.,

Recording Modes In QTP, there are (3) Recording Modes such as 1) Context Sensitive Mode In this mode QTP Records the operations which are performed on the objects. Context Sensitive Mode is also called as Standard Recording Mode / Normal Recording Mode. Context Sensitive Mode is default Recording Mode in QTP. 2) Analog Recording Mode In this mode QTP records the Mouse and Keyboard Operations with respective to Window (or) Desktop co-ordinates. Syntax: If you take Desktop Coordinates Desktop Desktop.RunAnalog "<Track No.>" Window Window("Window_Name").RunAnalog "<Track No.>" Navigation Start Recording (F3) Automation Menu Analog Recording

Analog Recording Settings (Shift + Alt + F3) Click on Click on Start Analog Record Record your required Operation Stop Recording (F4)

Generally we are using Analog Recording Mode to compare Digital Signatures, Barcodes, Scientific Graphs etc., Note In Context Sensitive Mode, QTP Generate one statement for each operation. But in Analog Recording Mode, QTP Generates single statement for all the operations which you perform on the application. In Analog Recording Mode, if you take Desktop Co-ordinates, you can get wrong output, if application is moved from one place to another place at Run Time. If you take Window co-ordinates, we can get right output even if the application moved from one place to another place.

3)Low Level Recording Mode We can use this mode to records the operations which are not recognized by Tool. Navigation Start Recording (F3) Automation Menu Low Level Recording Mode (Crtl + Shift + F3) Record your required Operation Stop Recording (F4) Note: We are giving low priority to this recording mode. Important Note If you want to select Analog Recording Mode or Low Level Recording Mode you must be under Context Sensitive Mode. Running Modes There are (3) Running Modes such as (1) Verify Mode (2) Update Run Mode (3) Debugging 1) Verify Mode To compare expected value with Actual value and Return results. 2) Update Run Mode To update Test or Component. 3) Debugging Whether the script is smoothly executing or not without any interruptions. Note Verify Mode is the default Running Mode in QTP. Maintenance Run Mode is the extra Run Mode in QTP 9.5 than 9.2.

Deb View

1) Test Pane In this QTP displays the Test Script which you record on the application. To view the Test scripts, there are two modes such as (i) Keyword View (ii) Expert View. (i) Keyword View In this mode QTP displays the test script in object hierarchy way and it provides documentation for every operation. There are (4) Parts (i) Item (ii) Operation (iii) Value (iv)Documentation likes as below.

(ii)

Expert View In this mode QTP displays the Test script in VB Script. Data Table

2)

 It is used to store the data and parameterize that data to the test script There are (2) Sheets by default. They are (1) Global (2) Action1 In one data table we will have 256 Sheets. Out of 256 sheets, one sheet is Global and remaining 255 sheets are Action Sheets Global Sheet related to all the tests. Action Sheet related to corresponding Action only. 3) Active Screen In this QTP captures window snapshots for every object operations and displays those images in Active Screen Area. Advantages i) Easy to insert Check Points ii) Easy to insert Output values. iii)Easy to add objects to all object repository. iv) Easy to insert steps. v) Easy to understand script by observing images in active screen area Disadvantages It occupies lot of space to store the snapshots. To disable Active Screen Tools Options Active Screen Tab Custom Level under Windows applications Select None under Web select Disable Active Screen capture Ok Ok 4) Debug Viewer It is used for viewing, modifying or setting the current values of variables or objects during Test execution break with the help of 3 Options, such as (i) Watch (ii) Variables (iii) Command. 5) Information Pane It displays the syntax of related information during Check Syntax Syntax Check (Ctrl + F7) 6) Missing Resources Pane Whenever we open a test, the files which are associated with that test are missed / moved, then Missing Resources Pane will be opened automatically and displays the information about that missed file.

Ordinal Identifier Location Index Creation Time QTP Will Follow below process to learn the object during Recording Time. First of all QTP will learn all the mandatory properties and verify whether these properties are sufficient or not to identify the object uniquely. If it feels these properties are sufficient to identify the object uniquely, then it will stop learning, otherwise it will learn first Assistive Property and verify whether these properties are sufficient or not to identify the object uniquely. If it feels these properties are also not sufficient to identify object uniquely, then it will learn 2nd Assistive Property and verify whether these properties are sufficient or not to identify object uniquely. If it feels these properties are also not sufficient to identify object uniquely, then it will learn 3rd Assistive Property and verify whether these properties are sufficient or not to identify the object uniquely, like this the process continuous till the QTP satisfy to identify the object uniquely or until completion of all the properties learning present in the Assistive Property list. After completion of all Assistive Properties learning present in the Assistive Property list, still QTP not satisfy to identify the object uniquely, then finally it will learn Ordinal Identifier and stop learning. SMART IDENTIFICATION If you select Smart Identification QTP follows below process during Recording. First of all it will learn all the Mandatory Properties along with Base Filter Properties and Optional Filter Properties at a time. But Mandatory Properties will be stored in Object Repository, where Base Filter Properties and Optional Filter Properties will be stored in a secrete location. Apart from this the process of learning remains same as above. QTP Will follow below process to identify the object during Run Time First of all QTP will take all the properties present in the Object Repository except Ordinal Identifier and try to identify the object. If it fails to identify the object, then it will forget / leave the Object Repository and take the alternative description (Base Filter Properties and Optional Filter Properties). In this first of all, it will take all the base filter properties and try to identify the object. If it fails to identify the object then it will take first Optional filter Property and try to identify the object. If it fails to identify the object then it will take 2nd Optional Filter Property and try to identify the object. If it fails

to identify the object with that property also, then it will take 3 rd Optional Filter Property and try to identify the object, like this the process continue till the QTP identify the object uniquely or until completion of all the properties present in the optional filter properties list. After completion of all the properties present in the Optional Filter Properties list still QTP not able to identify the object uniquely, then it will come back to Object Repository and search for Ordinal Identifier, if it is available, using that QTP roughly identify the object. ORDINAL IDENTIFIER (a) Location If you select Location as Ordinal Identifier, then QTP generates sequence of numbers like 0, 1, 2, 3 . based on the location (Place) of the object in a screen. (b)Index If you select Index as Ordinal Identifier then QTP generates sequence of numbers like 0, 1, 2, 3 based on the sequence of the programs of the object. (c) Creation Time (For Browsers only) If you select Creation Time as Ordinal Identifier then QTP generates sequence of numbers like 0, 1, 2, 3 based on loading of a page in browser time.

DESCRIPTIVE PROGRAMMING (VB SCRIPTING) If we specify the description of the object in the program it self that can be called as Descriptive Programming. Using Descriptive Programming we can execute test script without objects in Object Repository / we can execute the test script without Object Repository. Advantages of Descriptive Programming i) Fast execution. ii) Easy to identify the objects, when the objects are dynamic in nature. iii) We can prepare Script without having build. Disadvantages of Descriptive Programming i) It takes lot of time to design test design (Time consuming for test script design) To design Descriptive Programming, there are (2) ways such as (1) Specifying the properties and its values directly in the statement (script) (2) Description Object. Syntax / Code window(P1:=Value, P2=Value, .).Object(P1:=Value, P2=Value, .).Operation / Method.

How to declare variables in VB Script? To declare variables in VB Script we are using one script. (i) Option Explicit To forcibly declare variables (This statement display error message for undeclared variables) (ii)Dim Variable1, Variable2, Variable3, .. Variables (To declare variables) METHODS GetVisibleText We can use this method to capture visible text. Code: Variable=Window("Window Name").Object("Object Name").GetVisibleText() Ex:

x = Dialog("Login").WinEdit("Agent Name:").GetVisibleText() msgbox x Output

GetROProperty We can use this method to capture run time property value into variables. Or We can use this method to capture object property from the application Code Variable = Window("Window Name").Object("Object Name").GetROProperty ("Property Name") Ex:

Dialog("Login").Activate x = Dialog("Login").WinButton("OK").GetROProperty("Enabled") msgbox x Output

GetTOProperty We can use this method to capture text object value into variable. Or We can use this method to capture object property value from the object Repository. Code

Variable = Window("Window Name").Object("Object Name").GetTOProperty ("Property Name") Ex:

Dialog("Login").Activate x = Dialog("Login").WinButton("OK").GetTOProperty("Enabled") msgbox x Output

Report Event: We can use this method to report an event to the Test Result Window. Syntax: reporter.ReportEvent EventStatus, ReportStepName, Details
micPass (0) micFail (1) micDone (2) micWarning (3)

Print It is used to display your specified message in Quick Test Print log. Syntax: Print Message Ex: a=10 b=20 If b=a+10 Then msgbox "b is equal to a" print "b is equal to a" reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "b is equal to a", "Test is Pass" else msgbox "b is not eqaul to a" print "b is not equal to a" reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "b is not equal to a", "Test is fail" End If

Step Generator (F7) It is used to generate steps in the Test pane without click on start Recording. Step Generator consists of statements in three categories such as (i) Functions (ii) Utility objects (iii) Test Objects. (i) (ii) Functions This category specifies all general and mathematical operations such as left, right, len, time, cint, cdbl, cstr, ltrim, rtrim, trim etc., Test Object This category specifies the operations which are performed on the objects such as Set, Select, Activate, SetSecure, Click, GetVisibleText, GetROProperty, GetTOProperty, GetItem, GetItemCount, GetContent . Etc., Utility Objects This category specifies all miscellaneous operations such as DataTableOperations, SystemUtil Operations, QCUtil Operations, Recovery Operations etc.,

qtp.open "C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\Tests\test7" qtp.test.run

qtp.quit Actions Action means a group of meaningful statements or a set of meaningful operations. They are (3) Types, such as (i) Non-reusable Action An action can be called by the test with which it is stored and it can be called only once. (ii) Reusable Action An action can be called multiple times by the test with which it is stored and by other tests. (iii) External Action A reusable action becomes External Action when we call that action from one test to another test. Call to New Action We can use this option to call a new action. Navigation Insert Menu Call to New Action Enter Action Name [Optional] Check Reusable Action or Uncheck Reusable Action Click Ok. How to Delete Action To delete action we can follow below navigation. Navigation: Open Action which you want to delete Edit Menu Action Delete Action Click Ok

Environment Variables Environment Parameters especially useful for localization testing (If you want to test the application when the user interface strings are changing depending on selection of different languages) Environment parameters can be used for testing the same application on different browsers. Environment Variables are (2) Types such as (1) Built-in-variable (2) User defined variable. (1)Built-in-variable It represents the information about the Test and the system in which the test is running. Ex: Environment.Value ("OS") It will display Operating System Environment.Value ("OSVersion") It will display operating system version Environment.Value ("LocalHostName") It will display Local Host Name Environment.Value ("Test Name") It will display Test Name (2)User defined variable There are (2) Types such as (i) Internal Variables Internal Variables can be created in the Test and can be used in any Action of the same test. Ex: struid=environment.Value ("uid") strpwd=environment.Value ("pwd") SystemUtil.Run "C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\ samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe" With Dialog("Login") .Activate .WinEdit("Agent Name:").Set struid .WinEdit("Password:").SetSecure crypt.Encrypt (strpwd) .WinButton("OK").Click End With Navigation Records your required operation File Menu Settings Environment Tab Select variable type as User DefinedAdd Environment Name withValue Click Ok Click Ok Replace constant values in the script with environment variables likes as shown in the above script Click Run Analyze results manually
