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>

Recovery scenarios – an overview


Any unexpected event or erroneous condition that crashes the AUT during execution needs to be recovered. To handle these situations, QTP allows us to define the recovery scenarios and associates them with the test. Recovery scenarios activate specific recovery operations when trigger events occur.

The recovery scenario manager allows us to define the recovery scenario, that includes an unexpected event and the operations to recover during a run session. For example, an unexpected pop-up message appears and the recovery scenario is recovered from it by clicking on the OK button in the pop up.

A recovery scenario has the following elements:

  • Trigger event: Any event that abruptly interferes with the normal flow of the test runs, for example, a dialog pops up during test execution.

  • Recovery operations: The recovery option allows QTP to continue running the test or its components after the trigger event hampers test execution. For example, closing the pop-up window...
