Designing and Implementing Test Automation Frameworks with QTP

By: Ashish Bhargava

Overview of this book

<p>As software testing is maturing, the focus is shifting towards test automation. The key is to learn and grow skills in framework designing and start contributing to project organization goals.</p> <p>Through a helpful mix of conceptual and practical aspects, you will learn everything you need to know related to the implementation of frameworks using QTP. Through simple examples, you will gradually develop the skills needed to execute concepts and code blocks used to design and implement the test automation framework.</p> <p>This tutorial-based guide demonstrates an easy way to implement concepts to create a portable framework across the various versions of QTP. You will learn about the automation lifecycle and gradually develop technical concepts related to each phase. Within a short amount of time, you will be able to deal with challenges in test automation. "Designing and Implementing Test Automation Frameworks with QTP" uses a simple, yet elegant approach and gives the reader all the skills and knowledge they need to implement the framework.</p>

About QTP


HP QuickTest Professional (QTP or QuickTest) or Unified Functional Tester (UFT) is the test automation tool for functional and regression test case automation. HP QuickTest Professional supports keyword view and scripting interfaces to automate the test. It uses VBScript as a scripting language to specify test scripts and working with the objects and controls in the application under test.

QTP is a tool that provides support for automated software testing and framework creation. The basic components that support QTP in recording and replay mechanism are test object model, test object, and object repository. The knowledge and understanding of these components is helpful in creating scripts.
