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>

VBScript – key features for creating code blocks


VBScript is an easy-to-learn yet powerful scripting language. It is used to develop scripts to perform both simple and complex object-based tasks, even without previous programming experience. While working in the Expert view, use the following general VBScript syntax rules and guidelines:

  • Case sensitivity: VBScript does not differentiate between uppercased and lowercased words. It is not case sensitive by default, for example, in constant, variable, object, and method names. The following two statements are identical:

    Browser("Customer").page("Customer").weblist("date").select "31"
    Browser("Customer").page("Customer").WebList("date").Select "31"
  • Text strings: We can define a string by adding double quotes before and after the text string. In the following example, the string value is assigned using double quotes:

    Dim objtype= "WinButton" or objtype= "WinButton"

    Date strings: We can define the date by adding hash marks before and after the date...
