Q. Can any one tell me how to create the shared object repositoryAns: hi this is susmitha,object repositary means it is a storage place where one can stre the object information and it behaves like an interface b/w application and the test script.where in the shared repositary we can store more than one application s objects informationit can be associated with multiple test scripts.the maintainance is easy but it takes more time while running.open OR--> eport--->specify the name to store the objects as shared like .tsr file that is test shared repositary ---->save and ok i think u [email protected]

I am new to QTP9.0, can anyone tell me how to create shared object repository Q. Difference between action and functionAns: Action:
Action is a collection of Vb statements in QTP.
It doesnt return any values.
Function:
Function collection of Vb statements in QTP.
It returns single value.
OR Action is a thing specific to QTP while functions are a generic thing which is a
feature of VB Scripting. Action can have a object repository
associated with it while a function can't. A function is just lines of code with some/none parameters and a single return value while an action can
have more than one output parameters.
Where to use function or action:Well answer depends on the scenario. If you want to use the OR feature then you have to go for Action only. If the functionality is not about any
automation script i.e. a function like getting a string between to specific characters, now this is something not specific to QTP and can be done on
pure VB Script, so this should be done in a function and not an action. Code specific to QTP can also be put into an function using DP. Decision of
using function/action depends on what any one would be comfortable using in a given situation.Q. does qtp supports rational developed scripts.Ans: hi
upto my knowledge it's not possible, because qtp is mercury interactive product and ration robot is other product, qtp supports winrunner scripts...
Q. hi friends plz tell me the script to stop an iteration and start from the next iteration?Ans: hi
with using exitglobaliteration function you achieve that,

Q. Hi friends, how to get a value from a text box during run time and parameterize it to another step?Ans: You will need to use an output parameter to get the text from the textbox and then use an input parameter to input it where you need it.
You also may as well use a the data table in your expert view.
Q. Hi,Can anyone tell me how to run QTP scripts at DOS prompt?
Ans: Here is the answer for how to run DOS command in QTP..Hope this will be useful fro you.
You can run standard DOS commands in your QuickTest test using the
VBScript Windows Scripting Host Shell object (WSCript.shell). For example,
you can open a DOS command window, change the path to C:, and
execute the DIR command using the following statements:
Dim oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
oShell.run "cmd /K CD C: & Dir"
Set oShell = Nothing
For more information, refer to the Microsoft VBScript Language Reference
(choose Help > QuickTest Professional Help > VBScript Reference >
VBScript).

Q. how do we create functions in qtp and call the functions?Ans:
What ever the functions(one or many) you would like to write create in the notepad and save it as filename.vbs.Go to your test click on the testsettings in the TEST tab. Again go to the resources tab and click on the +(plus appears in green color) symbol and give the absolute path or u can browse.In the script where ever you want call using CALL funcName(parameters list). ORYou are upsolutely correct.Also if you want to execute file Execute file and path nameEx:Execute File C:Program FilesMercury InteractiveQuickTest ProfessionalTestslibrary1.vbsQ. How do you close the Task Manager through QTP?Ans: First you should add the Task Manager dialog box in the object repository.This is not a modal dialog box so you can add it to repository easily.Then use following simple code.
If Dialog("Windows Task Manager").Exist Then Dialog("Windows Task Manager").Close Reporter.ReportEvent micPass,"Task Manager","Successfully closed task manager" Else Reporter.ReportEvent micFail,"Task Manager","Task Manager is not open" End If Q. How do you validate Email textfield using QTP.Ans: HiI am not exactly sure of the solution u can just try writing some stubs for validating the email field.The below is simple example for validating text box with only numeric values.Similarly u can write a stub which will except email validation creteria.EX: Q. How to access a test input parameter?Ans: Hi,

Ans: A checkpoint verifies that expected information is displayed in an Application while the test is running.
You can add eight types of checkpoints to your test for standard web objects using QTP.
a).A page checkpoint checks the characteristics of an Application.
b).A text checkpoint checks that a text string is displayed in the appropriate place on an Application.
c).An object checkpoint (Standard) checks the values of an object on an Application.
d).An image checkpoint checks the values of an image on an Application.
e).A table checkpoint checks information within a table on a Application.
f).An Accessibility checkpoint checks the web page for Section 508 compliance.
g).An XML checkpoint checks the contents of individual XML data files or XML documents that are part of your Web application.
h). A database checkpoint checks the contents of databases accessed by your web site
OR
hi
in qtp 8.2 we have 8 checkpoints which works as 11 checkpoints
1.standard checkpoint: it will useful to check the object properties as well as works as
a.pagecheckpoint b.imagecheckpoint c.table checkpoint
2.textcheckpoint: it will useful tocheck text on application(web & windows applications)
3.textareacheckpoint: it will useful to check text area on applibcation(windows applications)
4.databasecheckpoint: it will useful to check the database
5.bitmap checkpoint:to check the bitmaps
6.accessibility checkpoint: for web applications only, is the web application follows www consortium rules of section 508 or not,
7.xmlcheckpoint: for xml pages and frames................i don't know clearly
8.xmlcheckpoint(File): to check the xml files-------i don't know clearly

Q. what is descriptive programming in qtp?Ans: It refers to creating a script from business requirement . OR
Descriptive programming is a technique by which we can perform actions on objects which are not in the object repository.
The below example uses descriptive programming to login to an application by providing the user id and pwd
There are two ways in which descriptive programming can be used :
* By creating properties collection object
Dim uid,pwdDim objPropBrowser,objPropPageDim objPropImageLogin,objPropWebEditUsrName,objPropWebEditPwd
uid="abc"
pwd="123"
Set objPropBrowser = Description.CreateSet objPropPage = Description.CreateSet objPropImageLogin = Description.Create
Set objPropWebEditUsrName = Description.CreateSet objPropWebEditPwd = Description.Create
objPropBrowser("name").value="Login"objPropBrowser("title").value="Login"
'objPropPage("name").value="root"objPropPage("url").value="url link"objPropPage("title").value="Login"
objPropWebEditUsrName("name").value="username"objPropWebEditUsrName("type").value="text"
objPropWebEditPwd("name").value="password"objPropWebEditPwd("type").value="password"
objPropImageLogin("name").value="Image"objPropImageLogin("image type").value="Image Link"objPropImageLogin("alt").value="Login"objPropImageLogin("abs_x").value="510"objPropImageLogin("abs_y").value="334"objPropImageLogin("x").value="510"objPropImageLogin("y").value="241"

Q. what is the difference between Call to Action and Copy Of Action in QTP. Why are they used.Ans: When you want to use a reusable action without making any change in the code then you should use 'Call to existing action'.
But if you want to make changes in the reusable as per your requirements then ypu should call 'Call to copy of an action'. OR
hai,
there is diff in these actions.we use this actions in modular framework. these are reusable.in call to existing action we canot make change or customize script as u wish.if u dont clear once u see call to existing action keep cursor and try to add ,u canot. but in call to copy action u can in which ever way u wantQ. What is the standard time taken to find a defect using QTP?Ans: hi
there is no specific time to find a defect using QTP, it depends upon the project and defects,
ORIt all depends on the synchronisation time set for the particular script. ORIt depends on object repository type
1. Per action repository type
2. Shared object repository typeQ. what is virtual function?Ans: The base class function is declered as virtual so that the derived class can have single copy of the particular function.The base class function redefined in the derived class.Q. When do you add database check points during recording or after recording.Ans: Hi
U Can add Data base check point while recording or even after recording. the only difference is the "Insert statement option will not available when adding a checkpoint during recording or when modifying an existing object checkpoint. It is available when adding a new checkpoint to an existing test or component while editing it.
RegardsBindu DeyQ. when we save any test it will automatically save as folder which are the files generated in it?Ans: hi
the folder consists of action 0, action 1,.mtr and other files which is useful to retrieve the test when you call it, ok
OR
test folder contains datatable,lock file,parameters file and action0, action1 folders. these folder contain object repository file as .bdb,Script file as .mts, and resources file as .mtr
Q. After I installed IE 7.0, My scripts are failing, Suggest me How to over come this problem?
Ans: You did not mention the QTP version that u r using.
QTP 8.2 does not support IE 7.0
U need to install QTP 9.0 or the latest version 9.1 which is certified with IE 7.0.
Q. Can any one tell how to use Vitual Object in QTP ?
Ans:
You can teach Quick Test to recognize any area of your application as an object by defining it as a virtual object. Virtual objects enable you to record and run tests on objects that are not normally recognized by Quick Test. Using the Virtual Object Wizard, you can map a virtual object to a standard object class, specify the boundaries and the parent of the virtual object, and assign it a logical name.

The following code illustrates how to obtain a SubMatches collection from a regular expression search and how to access its individual members:
Function SubMatchTest(inpStr) Dim oRe, oMatch, oMatches Set oRe = New RegExp ' Look for an e-mail address (not a perfect RegExp) oRe.Pattern = "(w+)@(w+).(w+)" ' Get the Matches collection Set oMatches = oRe.Execute(inpStr) ' Get the first item in the Matches collection Set oMatch = oMatches(0) ' Create the results string. ' The Match object is the entire match - [email protected] retStr = "Email address is: " & oMatch & vbNewline ' Get the sub-matched parts of the address. retStr = retStr & "Email alias is: " & oMatch.SubMatches(0) ' dragon retStr = retStr & vbNewline retStr = retStr & "Organization is: " & oMatch.
SubMatches(1)' xyzzy SubMatchTest = retStrEnd FunctionMsgBox(SubMatchTest("Please send mail to [email protected]. Thanks!")) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Can we execute winrunner TSL in QTP?
Ans: Yes we can execute TSL SCRIPTS IN QTP. Ist execute the script in WR then save it in a corresponding folder.Go to QTP MENU BAR INSERT ------ CALLTO WR.
OR
HI,
YES, WE CAN EXICUTE TSL IN QTP
OR
yes,we can
record and save scripts in wr after we run it .save corresponding gui file also
then in qtp:insert menu-select call to wr-test option(for tests)
and then browse the wr file test path
click on ok and close it
this will insert a test script in qtp as TSL Test.runtestEx"tsl btest path",t/f,t/f
the first T/L isboolean value true for -run wr minimised
second T/F isclose wr after test run
similarly we can call compile modulles of wr in qtp
OR
You can insert a call to a WinRunner test using the Call to WinRunner Test
dialog box or TSLTest.RunTestEx statement in VBScript in the Expert View. example:
TSLTest.RunTestEx "C:WinRunnerTestsbasic_flight",TRUE, 0, "MyValue"
The RunTestEx method has the following syntax:
TSLTest.RunTestEx TestPath , RunMinimized, CloseApp [ , Parameters ].
Q. Can we put checkpoint to text which is already been parameterized?
Ans: Yes.
Q. describe object repository modes with example
Ans: QTP supports 2 types of object repository modes.
1. Per-Action repository mode: In this, for each action a seperate object repository file is created. So object1 in Action1 is different from the same object1 in Action2. So it is wastage of memory. And each object repository file is saved when a test is saved. This mode is most useful, when the object does not change frequently and a few actions are associated with the test. If the object changes in the application, then we need to changed each of the object repository.
2. Shared object repository: In this, common object repository file can be used for muliple actions and multile tests. So Object1 is action1 is same for Action2, because all the objects are saved at one place. Here if the object changes, then we need to update a single object repository file.

Hi Santosh,
In Object Identification, there are two Properties to be added-1)Mandatory 2) Assistive.
First of all we cannot add the same properties in both. They must be different.
I have added all the properties to Mandatory. But its a bit of confusion that to whom i should assign the properties.
Still it is not recording the Java application. There are tabs, check boxes, buttons in the application , which are not recorded! in QTP
The other way is if i click on Low level recording then it records all the things. Which i think is not a rite way.
Please guide
Q. Hi. How do we make regular expression of a 3 digit number?

Q. how do i automate the .net application?and give complete procedure in detail.Ans: Hi,
You are not clear in your question. First tell me whether it is the window based or web based application.
When you are using QTP first add .net add-in available with mercury site ( free) and then start doing .
For windows based
give the path of the .exe file in the windows tab of the recrord and run settings and do the rest of the work like any other application.
Note : after adding the .net add-in you amy not find the .net tab in the record and run settins.
For web based application
give the path of the url in the web tab of the record and run settings. and do the rest lik all other web applications

hybrid frame work is combination of above four.
Q. how object repository can be merged?
Ans: QuickTest Professional enables you to merge two shared object repositories into a single shared object repository using the Object Repository Merge Tool. You can also use this tool to merge objects from the local object repository of one or more actions into a shared object repository.
You can update a shared object repository by merging local object repositories associated with actions in one or more tests into the shared object repository. The objects that are merged from the local object repositories are then available to any actions that use that shared object repository in any tests.
In the merge process, the objects in the local object repository for the selected action are moved to the target shared object repository. The action then uses the objects from the updated shared object repository.
Q. How to create a new datasource (DSN) in QTP for database checkpoints?
Ans: Hi,
Do the following
1)go to Control panel and in that "administrative tools" and click on "ODBC Data Source".
2)Click on Add
3)Select the driver you want to setup.
4)suppose your database is in Ms-Access select "Microsoft acess Driver(*.mdb)...and if it is in "Ms Sql Server" select " SQL Server" and click on "finish" (for instance take ur database is in Ms Sql server)
5)Give the dsn name in the name field and description is optional.Give the server name ..server name is the name (system nameSQLEXPRESS)which it displays when you connect to the sql server where you have server autentication.
6)click on next
7)select the radio button with sql server authentication with login username and password
login:sa ,Password:sql123 (default)
8)Click on Next , if the username and password is correct then it connects otherwise it displays an error message.
9)check on the "Change the default database in order to select the database" for which you want to create DSN.
10)click on Next /finish... then ok.....
thus your dsn is created.
While creating a database checkpoint "click on the Connection string" and select the DSN name which was created recently.
OR
Can you please tell me how to connect to the Database where I am using IBM DB2.

Q. how to place values in QTP data table from weblist at run time?
Ans: Using output values we can view the values that applications are taking during run time
OR
hi komali,
using output values all the values of a weblist are stored in a single cell of the datatable. The values are seperated by ";" . In this case if we want to use 1 value at a time then how do we separate that value from the entire list . I hope you got my point.
thanks in advance,
ritika
Q. How to record the scripts using the lowlevel recording, analog recording.
Ans: When we need to record Key board or mouse events go for analog recording
The Test->Analog Recording button is activated only while recordingSo click Record first and then go for the Analog RecordingThen you will get a Pop-Up window, Click on Start Analog Record
The script appears to be single line
This is the samething with Lowlevel RecordingWhere we can see all the statements concerned to the actions
Q. How to remove block comments
Ans: QTP 9.0 includes the facility to remove (or add) blocks of comments
Q. how to run batch process in qtp 8.2
Ans: we can the run batch process through test batch runner
go to test batch runner ->click test bach runner->click add button ->add the test script and run the scripts
OR
Running a Test Batch
You can use Test Batch Runner to run several tests in succession. The results for each test are stored in their default location.
Using Test Batch Runner, you can set up a list of tests and save the list as an .mtb file, so that you can easily run the same batch of tests again, at another time. You can also choose to include or exclude a test in your batch list from running during a batch run.
Notes:
To enable Test Batch Runner to run tests, you must select Allow other Mercury products to run tests and components in the Run tab of the Options dialog box. For more information, see Setting Global Testing Options.
Test Batch Runner can be used only with tests located in the file system. If you want to include tests saved in Quality Center in the batch run, you must first save the tests in the file system. Components cannot be used with Test Batch Runner.
You can stop a test batch run at any time by clicking the Stop button.
To set up and run a test batch:
1. Choose Programs > QuickTest Professional > Tools > Test Batch Runner from the Start menu. The Test Batch Runner dialog box opens.
2. Click the Add button or choose Batch > Add. The Open Test dialog box opens.
3. Select a test you want to include in the test batch list and click Open. The test is added to the list.
4. Repeat step 3 for each test you want to include in the list. By default, each test selected is added to the bottom of the list.
To insert a test at another point in the list, select the test that is to precede the test you would like to add. When you add the test, it is added above the selected test.
To remove a test from the list, select it and click the Remove button, or choose Batch > Remove.
If you want to include a test in the list, but you do not want the test to be run during the next batch run, clear the check box next to the test name.
5. If you want to save the batch list, click the Save button, or choose File > Save, and enter a name for the list. The file extension is .mtb.
6. When you are ready to run your test batch, click the Run button or choose Batch > Run. If QuickTest is not already open, it opens and the tests run sequence begins. Once the batch run is complete, you can view the results for each test in its default test results folder (<test folder>res#report).
For more information about Test Results, see Analyzing Test Results.
Q. How To run Shared object repository files? in QTP ?
Ans: For QTP - 8.2
Click on Test->Settings.
Click on Resources Tab
At the right bottom, object repository can be chosen as per-action or shared.
Once you have saved a test with per-action type, you cannot change it to shared.
OR
Click on Test->Settings
Click on Resources Tab
At the right-bottom change object repository type from per-action to shared.
Once you have saved a test script with per-action type of object repository you cannot change it to shared.
OR
I would like to know is there any function to be written to include 2 different Object repository. If yes can i have the script.
OR
You will need to upgrade to QTP 9.0 to maintain separate object repositories
Q. How to use Regular Expression in QTP?Woluld appreciate if you explain with an example?
Ans: QTP comes with extensive help for regular expressions with many examples.
Still giving you a very broad perspective of it -
Suppose we want to regularise an expression which has only digits and can contain a maximum of 2 digits, the expression will be [0-9][0-9]
Now the question arises - how and where to implement this. Suppose an object is recognised by qtp with index 45 in OR. This can change everytime a new instance of IE is created. Its advisable to use regular expressions at such places.
Similarly if we want to regularise characters in suppose text property, use .* to make any text acceptable in this property.
The more you do R&D on this topic, more you'll be comfortable with this. Try to regularise as many expressions as you can using reference material given by QTP. It'll be of great help. I hope this helps you to start.
OR
You can Import local sheet by Importing the sheet from excel sheet. You can import any sheet from any action, best approach to import all the required sheet at same time at the begining of the test.
You can use the same syntext that you use for the global sheet
For example
Import.DataSheet "c:/..../filename.xls, "Source sheet name", "Destination sheet name"
Import.DataSheet "c:/..../filename.xls, "Global", "Global"
Import.DataSheet "c:/..../filename.xls, "Action1", "Action1"
Q. how to work with file system objects?
Ans: Hi, just go thru the "Quick Test Professional Help"
Q. How to work with Insert Output Value, Insert Bitmap, Insert Accessibility
Ans:
An output value is a step in which one or more values are captured at a
specific point in your test or component and stored for the duration of the
run session. The values can later be used as input at a different point in the
run session.
BitMap Checkpoints
You can check an area of a Web page or application as a bitmap. While
creating a test or component, you specify the area you want to check by
selecting an object. You can check an entire object or any area within an
object. QuickTest captures the specified object as a bitmap, and inserts a
checkpoint in the test or component. You can also choose to save only the
selected area of the object with your test or component in order to save disk
space.
When you run the test or component, QuickTest compares the object or
selected area of the object currently displayed on the Web page or
application with the bitmap stored when the test or component was
recorded. If there are differences, QuickTest captures a bitmap of the actual
object and displays it with the expected bitmap in the details portion of the
Test Results window. By comparing the two bitmaps (expected and actual).
To create a bitmap checkpoint while recording:
1 Choose Insert > Checkpoint > Bitmap Checkpoint or click the arrow beside
the Insert Checkpoint button and choose Bitmap Checkpoint.
The saved Bitmap can also be modified.
Accessiblity Checkpoint:
Accessibility Checkpoint identifies areas of your Web site that may not
conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines. For example, guideline 1.1 of the W3C Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines requires you to provide a text equivalent
for every non-text element. You can add an Alt property check to check
whether objects that require the Alt property under this guideline, do in fact
have this tag.
Q. i want code for datadriven testing for 10 iterations in qtp. ex take usename and pwd .
Ans: for i=1 to 9 step 1
dialog("login").winedit("username").set datatable("columname",dtglobalsheet)
dialog("login").winedit("Password").set datatable("columname",dtglobalsheet)
Next
Q. if qtp is not recording any application what the problem is?
Ans: Check your tools record and run settings properly(web,windows)
OR
you need to verify whether the add-in which supports the application is installed in QTP or not.
Q. if the the two object have same class then how qtp will find the object
Ans: ur question is 2 ojects have same default properties then how qtp recognizes to those objects right
if this is the question, then if u want to know the unique property that is what developers defined to those objects while coading just spy on those objects to see what properties the object have then select the unique property and add that property and also in qtp there is one properrty called smart identification. enable this property then while running, if there is no unique property in the default properties then qtp checks in the assitive properties and it will give an warning message int he test results window like i learned this object with this assistive property if u want to add that property to ur default property then u can add.
Q. In QTP how many types of data tables are available and explain the same.
Ans: There are two type of data: Global and Action1
Global is like public any where you can access.
Action is local per specific action only u can use that data.
Action
OR
two types
1.run time data table
2.design time data table
Q. is it necessary to learn VB script to work with QTP or we can manage with keword driven
Ans: Hi,
It's not mandate that one should mastered in Vb script to workwith QTP.It is mostly user friendly and for good results we need to have basic VB or concepts which will suffice.
Have a try and feel the difference.
Prasad
OR
Well, I think VBscript knowledge is a must, if you want to excel in QTP. for a starter , keyword driven approach is good. but you don't want to stop here, do u?
OR
Only with Record and Playback it wont be doing automation testing in QTP, other than that enchancing the script with
calling external files like Vbscript or DLL's using Descriptive Programming without using Object Repository getting the runtime values from External or Data Table or Flat files using Vbscript files to do Back-end testing, connecting the Database and executing
the Queries
as above enchancing the script, it should must of Vbscript knowledge.
Q. Is QTP case sensitive
Ans: No QTP is not case sensitive
Q. Is there a way to run QTP scripts from commandline without opening QTP
Ans: We can run qtp scripts without opening the qtp, in QTP they have provided one option called the silent test runner. by using this we can execute
OR
But The silent test runner will not run scripts from the command line?
OR
U can run QTP script from the command line
wscript "<filepath.vbs>"
First create .vbs file , in that specify your test path name.
U can run only .vbs file from command Prompt
Q. Is there any options available to handle more than one DataTable Simultaneously in QTP
Ans: Datatable is divided into two types.
1. Local data sheet(For each script u can create ur own data table)
2. Global datasheet(For the entire application u can use only one global datasheet.)
Q. Is there any way to convert .tsr (Object Repository) File to an XML file?
Ans: to my knowledge there is no such tool that does it.
OR
There is a tool by name qantom try this site http://www.qantom.org/ .
Q. Please explain how to test JAVA tree objects
Ans: For testing Java Objects you need to install an additional Java Plugin. This will enable QTP to identify java objects. This should also solve the java tree problem.
if you already have installed the java plug-in and asking for a method to test java tree objects, there is no single answer i can give. but you might have to apply your own logic through descriptive programming.
OR
Hi
Thanks for the answer
I have installed java plugin object and have tried to give a call to the java object tree
I just want to expand the Tree node
please can you send a small sample code which tests the Window explorer

Q. Please provide complete walk through for creating the Shared Object repository in QTP
Ans: One can create a shared Object repository path in two ways either manually or programmatically
1. Test->Settings->Resources->Object Repository Type->Shared and can specify the required path there
2. Dim App 'As Application Set App = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application") 'creating an object for QTP App.Test.Settings.Resources.ObjectRepositoryPath = "Specify the or path here"

Q. What are checkpoints in QTP and its importance. (Repeat)
Ans: A checkpoint verifies that expected information is displayed in an Application while the test is running.
You can add eight types of checkpoints to your test for standard web objects using QTP.
a).A page checkpoint checks the characteristics of an Application.
b).A text checkpoint checks that a text string is displayed in the appropriate place on an Application.
c).An object checkpoint (Standard) checks the values of an object on an Application.
d).An image checkpoint checks the values of an image on an Application.
e).A table checkpoint checks information within a table on a Application.
f).An Accessibility checkpoint checks the web page for Section 508 compliance.
g).An XML checkpoint checks the contents of individual XML data files or XML documents that are part of your Web application.
h). A database checkpoint checks the contents of databases accessed by your web site
OR
hi
in qtp 8.2 we have 8 checkpoints which works as 11 checkpoints
1.standard checkpoint: it will useful to check the object properties as well as works as
a.pagecheckpoint b.imagecheckpoint c.table checkpoint
2.textcheckpoint: it will useful tocheck text on application(web & windows applications)
3.textareacheckpoint: it will useful to check text area on applibcation(windows applications)
4.databasecheckpoint: it will useful to check the database
5.bitmap checkpoint:to check the bitmaps
6.accessibility checkpoint: for web applications only, is the web application follows www consortium rules of section 508 or not,
7.xmlcheckpoint: for xml pages and frames................i don't know clearly
8.xmlcheckpoint(File): to check the xml files-------i don't know clearly

For TD the latest version is Test Director 8.0 (Quality Center)
Q. what do you mean by develope and enhanced script in qtp?
Ans: after running or navigating an application vb script is recorded.that is actual process or propetries of the application.but we want to run our expected scripts.so we enhence the scripts.if previous release of application has been changed,then the script required to run that application also changes,the script is developed for changing
OR
Hi this is kalpesh prajapati
Thank you very much manas, i would really appreciate if you give me this answer with real example.
Thank you very much again.
OR
Devolpement means performing the transaction on application
enhaced means inserting the cheekpoints or writeing conduction statements in the script and run the script and enhace the results with actual and expected
OR
in qtp developing a basic script means first of all we r writing code or test script that which performs basic operations apart from testing functionality like issues. then we enhance it by inserting checkpoints or using conditional statements/loops/methods/synchronization points/parametrization etc
as most of the companies r following scripting or descriptive programing techniques none is using the concept of chekpoints we can use methods and condintional statements/loops to test the aut
OR
1. Inserting the Checkpoints
2. Giving with loop constraints
3. Calling the external files like VBs file
4. Inserting Pass or Fail statement
5. Using the Data Table or Flat files for the passing the runtime values
Q. what function do we use to call function directly?
Ans: You can use "Call" function to call any function with the script or from .VBS and .txt files.
Like
Call ABC(Parameters)
ABC = Function name
Q. what is a active x control in QTP
Ans: QTP Provides an option to include Add-Ins/Controls according to our application.SO if the application contains any Activex objects QTP identifies those using this ActiveX control.
Q. what is a file system object in QTP
Ans: Vbscript does not recognises or read the flat files like notepads etc. We create an object which is called 'file system object' which contains flat files. From that file system object we can retrieve values and can apply on test.
OR
file system object is a qtp predefined object that which can allow user to access to external files and allows to perform different oprations like reading data from files, writing/appending data to file, opening/creating/removing a file etc by using different methods of file system object.
Q. what is a Input parameter, output parameter in QTP?
Ans: Input parameter can be used with functions and procedures that which can be used to pass the input values from the calling test to perform the function/procedure's action
output parameter can be used with functions to return the value to main/calling test
Q. what is descriptive programming in qtp?(Repeat)
Ans: It refers to creating a script from business requirement .
OR
Descriptive programming is a technique by which we can perform actions on objects which are not in the object repository.
The below example uses descriptive programming to login to an application by providing the user id and pwd
There are two ways in which descriptive programming can be used :
* By creating properties collection object
Dim uid,pwdDim objPropBrowser,objPropPageDim objPropImageLogin,objPropWebEditUsrName,objPropWebEditPwd
uid="abc"
pwd="123"
Set objPropBrowser = Description.CreateSet objPropPage = Description.CreateSet objPropImageLogin = Description.CreateSet objPropWebEditUsrName = Description.CreateSet objPropWebEditPwd = Description.Create
objPropBrowser("name").value="Login"objPropBrowser("title").value="Login"

Q. What is Object Repositiry?What is the use of it in recording?
Ans: hi samuel,
Object repository in qtp is like a storage place or a central repsitory where it stores the properties of all the objects when u reocrd the script,and later when u execute the script qtp checks that the objects in the application match the objects in the object repository and executes it, if both the objects matches the test will pass, if it cannot identify the object or there is a mismatch the script will fail.
Object repository is same like a GUI map in winrunner where u have to make the tool capture the properties of object where as in QTP object repository automatically does that for u.
If i am wrong or some enhancement is needed correct me,
thanks,
aparna.
Q. what is object spy and object identification?
Ans: Object Spy:If you need to know the Properties of Field or an object(Edit Box) in your application you may click on Object Spy and select the object for which the properties are to be known...We generally use Object Spy in order to compare the properties of an object in the application with respect to the Test script.
Object Identification:Object identification is a section where you customise all your properties by which QTP checks for the Mandatory and Assistive Properties of an object.
Pls let me know if you need more help.........
Q. What is QTP environmental variable?
Ans: Environment variable is a variable with their corresponding value. Quick Test can insert a value from list of environment variable list. Throughout the test run, the value of an environment variable remains the same, regardless of the number of iterations, unless you change the value of the variable programmatically in your script.
There are three types of environment variables:
User-Defined Internal—variables that you define within the test. These variables are saved with the test and are accessible only within the test in which they were defined.
User-Defined External—variables that you predefine in the active external environment variables file. You can create as many files as you want and select an appropriate file for each test, or change files for each test run.
Built-in—variables that represent information about the test and the computer on which the test is run, such as Test path and Operating system. These variables are accessible from all tests and components, and are designated as read-only.
Q. what is step generator?
Ans: Hi
Step Generator is used to insert a statement(function ro method) of a particular object which is available in the Object Repository
Q. what is sync point in QTP? and how to insert sync point in QTP can anybody tell me step by step
Ans: hi
you mean sychronization point it means waiting property till page is loaded.
Q. What is the meaning of Context sensitive?
Ans: hi,
Context sensitive recording means we can perform the events on standard GUI objects.
Q. What is the use of Output Values in QTP
Ans: Out values are created inorder to run the script without any fail for the dynamically changing values.
for example if u take the flight application when you parameterize the test with different sets of data in the data table, the price changes for each trip so in order to identify the price change and to run the script accordingly we create output values.
After running the script u can see the output values(price)for different destinations in the run time data table.

2. In the ‘Oracle Add-in for QuickTest’ key change the value of ‘Enabled’ from 1 to 0
This should solve your problem.
OR
The only problem with this fix is if you are really wanting to use the Oracle Add-in with your application the suggested fix "disables" the Oracle Add-in. In my case, I was receiving the same error but when I disabled the Oracle Add-in I could not record in QTP using that specific application. To fix the problem, I went out on the Mercury Website to their Knowledge Base and found a "Patch" which adds support for Oracle Forms 10g/9i (also known as Oracle Forms 9.x) to the QTP Oracle Add-in 8.2. It is Patch # QTPORACLE82P6102, but you have to request that they send it to you. Maybe this will help.
OR
Hi Frns,Thanks to all.Even I got the same problem.After installing java and oracle add-ins my application could not open.My application is built with oracle 10g forms and java.After modifying the value for Enabled from 1 to 0. then Could work on applicaiton. and qtp 8.2 is able to recognize.
Thanks for forum.Niruv
Q. Hi All,
my Object name is "Login".
my code is:
browser("B1").page("P1").WebEdit("Login").Set "Admin"
CAN I USE IT LIKE THIS?
myObj = "Login"browser("B1").page("P1").WenEdit (myObj).Set "Admin"
It is not working. How to do in this situation?
Ans: Hi
I don't find any problem with your script. I tried to run the same sort of script in my system I didn’t find any errors.
login = "username"Browser("Welcome: Mercury Tours").Page("Welcome: Mercury Tours").WebEdit(login).Set "xyz"
Thanks
Nag
OR
Hi
There is nothing wrong with your script,but I found a small syntax error.
myObj = "Login"browser("B1").page("P1").WenEdit (myObj).Set "Admin"
It has to be WinEdit insted of WenEdit.
Nag
OR
There are 2 problems with your script
1) rather than just specifying myObj = "Login" it is more robust if ur code would have been like this
myobj= "name:= Login"
this is called descriptive programming . here we are telling the QTP to find an Webedit box which has the Name property value which is equal to Logine. if you start programming in this way . u dont even need an entry in the OR.
try deleting this entry in OR and run the scipt.
this wil make your overall script light and easier to load however execution time is slightly increased.
2) the second flaw i think was a typo in your code the web edit box is speeled as wenedit.
Keep smiling
OR
It can also be done by renaming the object name in ur OR. By renaming the object name in the OR would be more convinient as it would be reflected in all ur scripts ,wherever the object has been used, at its own.
OR
Hi,
You try this one
myObj("name").value="Login"
browser("B1").page("P1").WenEdit (myObj).Set "Admin"
                OR
You try this one also
myObj("text").value="Login"
browser("B1").page("P1").WenEdit (myObj).Set "Admin"
 Note: Check out the property of that object in Object Repository and according to set that value , then it's work definately. Check in OR and afterwards delete that OR. Ok Bye
If you have any query mail me
Q. Hi I am new to load testing .Currently i am using Load runner 8.2.i have recorded a script for login screen with some UID/PWD.In load runner Controller i have selected 100 Vusers,and i the run script.
My question is :1.)Is the same script runs 100 times for same UID/PWD what i have entered during Recording.2.)If my data base contains only 50 users.Selecting 100 Vusers is a valid case?.3.)If i have selected 100 Vusers,is it necessary to enter 100 UID/PWD.Regards,vivek(Loadrunner)
Ans: 1.Use For loop for executing same script for 100 times.2.It is not valid case.3. Not necessary.
OR
Hi Vivek,
1.)Is the same script runs 100 times for same UID/PWD what i have entered during Recording
Ans - Yes the same script is running.
2.)If my data base contains only 50 users.Selecting 100 Vusers is a valid case?.
Ans - Yes it is a valid case because it id not going to your DB to fetch records as it is only generating the load.
If you want to login as 100 different users then you have to paramterize the script and then pass 100 users in an excel.
3.)If i have selected 100 Vusers,is it necessary to enter 100 UID/PWD.Ans - No it is not necessary.
Vivek it is a better practice that for any specific role(User Type) you may put the data in an XLS and then call that XLS in the program. This will imitate a real life condition.
OR
1) it depends on your script settings. As best practice, you may want to have unique type selected for your parameterization.
2) Again, this depends on your requirement. If you have 50 users in DB, you can use the script in cyclic manner.
3) This is related to 1. if you have selected unique, yes.
OR
Question is :1) Is the same script runs 100 times for same UID/PWD What I have entered during Recording.Script doesn't run 100 times, 100 Vusers run the same script Concurrently .
2) If my data base contains only 50 users. Selecting 100 Vusers is a valid case?If your controller supports 100 vusers you can run with 100 vusers. Database doesn't play any role here.
3) If i have selected 100 Vusers, is it necessary to enter 100 UID/PWD.Not required, that the work of the load runner to look after

Q. how can we terminate the application when we encounter a problem or defect in our application while we running the application in Load Runner,Win Runner and QTP.
Ans: there are many ways of handling this.IN QTP we write the following snippet
what is your target application?
is it a web application or client server application
for a web application
1) if you want to close the web application on any defect , write a code snippet some thing like this
browser("B1").close in side the else condition (if you are using an if else condition)
2) if you want to exit the testing Tool for any further
use Exit global iteration in the sniipet.
OR
Press cntrl+F3
or for wrun we can kill the process by press the task mgr, click on th process, select the process wrun.exe and terminate it.
OR
If we know the error type we use Recovery Scenario to close the apllication.
Q. I have 10 Edit Boxes in my application. i Named them as Text1, Text2, Text3...Text10. Now i want to set values in these Text Boxes using Loop Statement. Can i Use
for i=0 to 10browser("b1").page("p1").WebEdit("Text" & i).set "value" &inext
**********
Is it acceptable WebEdit("Text"&i) ? I am getting error here.Any suggestions?
Ans: Hi
It is 100% acceptable.
Here is the sample script which runs perfect.
For i=1 to 2
Browser("Welcome: Mercury Tours").Page("Book a Flight: Mercury").WebEdit("text" & i).Set "name" & i
Next
OR
use descriptive programming in this situation in following way.
Assuming text is the name property by which QTP is identifying the webedit box:
box="name:=Text" & i
for i=0 to 10browser("b1").page("p1").WebEdit(box).set "value" &inext
OR
Hi,
The idea is correct but implementation is wrong.
for i=0 to 10
*///browser("b1").page("p1").WebEdit("Text" & i).set "value" &i///*
Statment is not write.
You should use descriptive programming like this
browser("b1").page("p1").WebEdit(name:="Text" & i).set
Supposing name is property
next
OR
Hi
If you want to use descriptive programming then inyour case "Test1", "Text2".... are of "name" property. The other unique property can be "index"
For i=0 to 9
Browser("b1").Page("p1").WebEdit(name:="Text1","index:=" & i).Set Value
OR
Dim a, i
Window("Program Manager").WinListView(SysListView32).Activate"text htmt"
for i = 1 to 10 step 1
a = inputbox ("Enter the Text")
Browser("BrowserName").Page("PageName").WebEdit("name:=text" &i).Set a
Next
Q. In Quick Test Pro 8.2
1. While Recording/writing the Script i want to know the " Selecting Tab Position Action Script".Eg: Window contains 4 tab positions i would like to select 2 tab position at that time how script will come. plz write the script and send me.
2. How can i generate and select Tree View in Programatically.
Eg: Mycomputer Contains all drives information like as below.+My Computerwhen i press + Symbol My Computer will Expand that format like-- My ComputerDrive C
Drive DAt That scenario i will perform these actiona. Expand My Computer View by selecting + Iconb. After expanding i will select Drive DWhile doing above conditions how script will generate plz let you find ASAP and mail me back. Don't forget.
Ans: 1. Ans: first learn(i.e store objects in Object Repository)Â Â the window and Tabs screen
ex:Â SwfWindow(WindowName).SwfTab(Tabname).select "Tab2"
2. Ans: QTP not recognizing the Tree View but by writing .vbs function we can expand the Tree View
Regards,
Venkateshwar Reddy
OR
2) If you try to record the treeview in web application QTP will record the nodes you have selected as -
e.g ApptixDemoASP >> Customer >> user
Browser("AdminCentre").Page("AdminCentre").Frame("frmTreeView").WebElement("ApptixDemoASP").FireEvent "onmouseover"
Browser("AdminCentre").Page("AdminCentre").Frame("frmTreeView").WebElement("ApptixDemoASP").Click
Browser("AdminCentre").Page("AdminCentre").Frame("frmTreeView").WebElement("Customer").FireEvent "onmouseover"
Browser("AdminCentre").Page("AdminCentre").Frame("frmTreeView").WebElement("Customer").Click
Browser("AdminCentre").Page("AdminCentre").Frame("frmTreeView").WebElement("User").Click
For this you need to cusomize web event recording configuration as set mouse over event on and HTML tag event >> treeview as enabled.
Same way enable the HTML tag event >>Tabstrip and start recording will work and you will have auto generated script for tabs.
OR
Hi,
According to ur question my answer is like this..
In your application page 4 tabs are there...
for to select one tab we can write script ...
In windowbased app.........
window("window name").wintab("tab name").select
In Oracle App...
OracleApplication("Oracle Applications").OracleFormWindow("form name").oracleTabbedRegion("tab name").select
In Java...
Javawindow("window name").JavaInternalFrame("Frame name").JavaTab("Tab name').select

Q. What is Smart Identification in QTP
Ans:
Hi,
Smart Identificaton is applicable for web application only. Record one object from application and modify the object property and execute your script. You will get one worning message in result. Navigate to working message in result file and read the note for smart identification.
Smart Identification is nothing but, if any property of test object is not matching with run time object property, it will write an worning to result and execute rest of the steps.
Note: In the result Cap symbol will added for smart identification. (By looking in to this we can say that properties of test object is not matching with run-time object)

RE: What is Smart Identification in QTP
Generally object identification is used for to identify the GUI objects in the screen. When u recording the script automatically the object identifer records the objects in the screen (in winrunner we had GUI map configuration).
But, this smart identification will be idetified the objects. Whether this objects is developed with same technology or not.
Eg: Application is devloped in JAVA but in places we used some microsoft controls. Where generally the QTP will have to recongnise the componenets at that time smart identification will identify the objects.
July 17, 2006 09:50:39 #5 Shiba Shankar Tripathy Member Since: Visitor Total Comments: N/A
RE: What is Smart Identification in QTP
Hi,
Smart Identification is used by QTP, whenever it is unable to identify any object during run time. While identifying an object, QTP tries to match the mandatory properties first, if it couldn't find the object, then it adds assistive properties one by one to identify the object correctly. This operation is done by smart identifier and it is displayed in the results section along with one warning message. It's generally used to identify Web elements only.
Thanks

RE: What is Smart Identification in QTP
Hi Guys Smart Identification is a mechanism provided by QTP and used for identifying the objects smartly using Base filter properties or Optional filter properties when ever the normal identification fails due to the dynamic changes in the properties of objects. This will be seen only in Results window only not stored in the Object repository. I hope u r under stood the ans.

RE: What is Smart Identification in QTP
hi, smart identification is used for idenfying the objects during execution.first Q.T.P tries to identifies the objects using maniditory and one by one assistive properties.if it is fails then Q.T.P using the smart identification for identifying the test objects during execution with it's base filter and optional filter properties.but it is not storing in object repository it stores secretly and Whenever necessaary it will use by the Q.T.P.
January 19, 2007 02:00:27 #8 Brijendra tiwari Member Since: Visitor Total Comments: N/A
RE: What is Smart Identification in QTP
When QuickTest uses the recorded description to identify an object, itsearches for an object that matches every one of the property values in thedescription. In most cases, this description is the simplest way to identifythe object and unless the main properties of the object change, this methodwill work.
If QuickTest is unable to find any object that matches the recorded objectdescription, or if it finds more than one object that fits the description,then QuickTest ignores the recorded description, and uses the SmartIdentification mechanism to try to identify the
object.
While the Smart Identification mechanism is more complex, it is moreflexible, and thus, if configured logically, a Smart Identification definitioncan probably help QuickTest identify an object, if it is present, even when therecorded description fails

RE: What is Smart Identification in QTP
At the time of web application recording some of the actions are not identified by the QTP because some filter effects are associated with that web page so it is not identified by the QTP, at that time we are using smart identification to record such effects
Q. What is the size of object repository
Ans: It depends on system memory
Q. what is the library function? How do you use it .. ?
Ans: It is the library of functions. There are 2 types of functions built-in & user defined functions. for e.g. Built-in functions - date, dateadd, instr, Cstr, etcUser defined functions - create a library of functions which you will be using for your automation purpose and save as an external file (*.vbs / *.qfl / *.txt). Map the file to your test through Test Setings.
Q. what is the extension for libraries files in QTP
Ans: Extension for librare files in QTP: .vbs
OR
Hi,In QTP 8.2 or earlier versions, the libraries files can be stored with extension .vbs or .txt.with QTP 9.0 or later, there are 3 supported file formats. .vbs, .txt and .qlf.
OR
Extension are like .VBS ,.Tsr---for PerACTION repository and for Shared Object Repository it .mtr(Mercury Test repository)
QTP | Question 419 of 449 | Print | Send To Friend What is the difference between analog recording and descriptive programming?
Ans: The main difference between recording and descriptive programming is:
Recording is done only if the first build is released,and can be implemented on second build for regression testing.Descriptive programming can be useful to execute on the first build itself.
Q. What is Object File and Object Repository ?
Ans: In object repository QTP stores the information about the object. There are two types....1 shared Object Repository 2 per action Object Repository
Object file stores the information of objects.
Q. What is Debug Viewer and how it works in QTP?
Ans: The debug viewer pane consists of 3 tabs
watch:
Enables you to view the current value of any variable or VB script expression that you add to the watch tab
variable:
During a run session, the Variables tab displays the current value of all variables that have been recognized up to the last step performed in the run session.
command:The Command tab enables you to run a line of script to set or modify the current value of a variable or VBScript object in your function library. When you continue the run session, QuickTest uses the new value that was set in the command.
Q. What are the pros and cons of using Shared and Per Action repositories?
Ans: Per Action Repository is specific to only one QTP script.While Shared Repository can be used in which ever Script desired.
Just that whenever any modification is done in the Shared OR, it should again be saved otherwise it will not be effected when used later

RE: how to comment a block in QTP 8.2
There is some other way round to comment a block of statements
for example u want to block the following code:
Browser("dfdf").Page("sdf").WebEdit("dfd").set "ssdsds"
Browser("dfdf").Page("sdf").WebList("sdsd").select 2
Browser("dfdf").Page("sdf").WebEdit("ddfdffd").set "sddfdffsdsds"
Solution :
Keep the entire code in a function declaration as below
Function FunctioName()
Browser("dfdf").Page("sdf").WebEdit("dfd").set "ssdsds"
Browser("dfdf").Page("sdf").WebList("sdsd").select 2
Browser("dfdf").Page("sdf").WebEdit("ddfdffd").set "sddfdffsdsds"
End Function
This is an indirect way of commenting a block of statements.

RE: how to comment a block in QTP 8.2
Regarding your issue following are the things you can try:
1. ‘ for commenting out a statement
2. REM for adding comment at the end of code
3. Use the following example to comment out a code block
To comment out a block of code use an If-Then structure, where the expression is 0 or False.
Example:
If False Then
Window("Notepad").WinEditor("Edit").SetCaretPos 0,0
Window("Notepad").WinEditor("Edit").Type "Hello This is a test."
Window("Notepad").WinEditor("Edit").Type micReturn
End If
Note:
QuickTest Professional will still read the lines within the if structure, but it will not execute them. Therefore, any syntax errors in the block will be reported during run time.
Let me know if it works for you.

RE: How to automate Java Application? I got error obje...
Hi,
Before u start automation on Java application make sure that u installed Java Add-in for any testing tool ( say QTP,Winrunner ). And set some properties for particular object before u automate...finally go for recording or any other method of scripting ( say descriptive ).
There is one more possibility that If u don't add properties of an object in repository( in QTP ) or GUI map file( in Winrunner ) then also it wil show error saying that object not found... So in this case make sure that ur object properties are there in repository/GUI map
file.

Q. How does QTP Intentfies if page has 10 buttons with same name & value
Ans:
RE: How does QTP Intentfies if page has 10 buttons wit...
For this question I will just suggest an example. Let us think there are 10 buttons in a page. Then all these buttons will have some similar properties and every button will have atleast one unique property. If u r aware how qtp idetifies the objects then u must have known about how it learns the properties of the objects by using mandatory properties, assistive properties, and/or by using smart brain. As per my knowldege every object in a page will the windowid in unique and by selecting the windowid property in the assistive properties or in the smart brain will help in identifing the objectings. Even one can use this property in the mandatory properties list or smart brain.

RE: How does QTP Intentfies if page has 10 buttons wit...
Fine, Let there be ten or hundread buttons their will be many unique properties to identify a button uniquely. For example, the button will not be at same x and y coordinates so with the help of x and y coordinates QTP can identify them uniquely

RE: How does QTP Intentfies if page has 10 buttons wit...
If all the properties are the same (even assistive) then QTP uses ordinal identifier such as index of the object in the page.

RE: How does QTP Intentfies if page has 10 buttons wit...
if u change ur monitor from 15" to 17" then x y coordinates will change. so how will u run the same test case there? or u have to change ur code. so there must be some other way than x y coordiantes.

RE: How does QTP Intentfies if page has 10 buttons wit...
When there are same objects with ame name than qtp identifies it with the help of smart identification.it uses either index or location property value to identify objects.

If all the properties are the same (even assistive) then QTP uses ordinal identifier such as index of the object in the page.
first go through assistive properties , then towards ordinal identifier
Q. How do you schedule a test in QTP or QC [Quality center]
Ans: We can schedule test execution in Quality Center only. To do this first you need to go test Lab module there you will find "Execution Flow" tab. In that tab you can specify a date and time to schedule your test.
I hope we cann't schedule a test run in QTP. Anybody plz correct If I am wrong.

Q. Desktop Application developed in Java problem
Hi
I am New to Qtp tool. My project is an Desktop Application developed in Java.
How to pick the data from the drop down list box. At the record time it captures the data from the combo box but while running the script QTP is unable to open/recognise the Drop down combo box to select the data.
Is there any code for that?Can any one solve my problem plz. I am really running out of time.
Thanks,Livetek
Ans: Ok...When you recorded, your script might be calling the object..i(n this case..the dropdown list item) by its name.
Go to the object repository and fidn that object and look at its properties on the right side. The first two properties could be the primary...and the name might not be the primary property. Try using a differant property.Or Try descriptive programming. Learn about descriptive programming and learn a lot about object repository...thats ur only hope and hurry up..do it ASAP..if u dont understand the object repository....u cant do nothin with QTP
lemme know if u need more help
OR
Hi,This is praveen Yarlagadda, could you please try to use this syntax.
parent window("login").child window("combobox").gettext()

if all the above not working then we have to add java addin in QTP
Q. C++ project Testing in QTP problem
Hi, We have got a project to be automated using QTP. The application however has been designed using C/ C++ as told by the client.The problem with the QTP (free version downloaded from the net) is that it doesn't identify the objects at all other than the window object.When record playback is done all the actions are in terms of x - y co-ordinates and click methods of QTP.Is there a separate add-in for learning the objects in this scenario?Also if there is no need for the additional add-ins can you please let me know some feature of QTP which will help me in identifying the objects?
This is needed on an urgent basis as the client has already given us the project to start!!!!
Thanks in advance,Raghu
Ans: Hi Raghu,
You don't need any addins for C++ applications .If you try writing your own code ex.Window("").Dialog("").etc  by capturing objects into repository or use descriptive programming it will work. As I'm also working on a c++ application I have this problemwhen recording, but when I write my code its working fine.Let me know if you need any more help.
Regards,Chaitanya

4.send these values to this function during runtime.
5.In functions write as ...
a. Store all values in a variable
b. create sepreate .txt file

hi log files used to show the results to the client ,client can believe by seeing the results produced after execution of the scripts in log files ,at the end of the path we should give the symbols like 1-read 2- write 8-append

Q. I am trying to add object from repository dialog box. it creates new page(flight confirm mercury_2) and adds the new object under it. Ideally it should add new object to the existing parent page(flight confirm mercury). how to overcome this problem
Ans: Just make the page a regular expression. How to do that is Go to Object repository-->Select the Object in the repository-->In the Object repository window you will find "Configure Value" item to the right side-->In that U will findTwo fields with name Constant and Parameter-->Beside Constant fields u will find an ikon in white colour-->Click on that-->The title of the page gets displayed in a new dialog box called Constant value options-->Just add '.*' at the last position to the title and check the regular expression Check box
OR
make it a regular expression by going to object repository-->select the title of page-->clink on white coloured icon present beside the constant field in the right side of object repository window-->add .* to the title and select the check box
Q. What is Key Word driven Testing?What is the differance built in variables and User defined variables?
Ans: What is Key Word driven Testing?
Software test scripts are conventionally composed ad hoc by a coder. Some software development tools help automate testing by recording tests that are run, allowing "playback" of the test routines. However, an entire test routine is rarely, if ever, applicable to more than one release of one application. Data-driven testing adds some modularity by keeping test input and output values separate from the test procedure, but the procedure itself is still in a monolithic script. Keyword-driven testing breaks the test procedure into logical components that can then be used repeatedly in the assembly of new test scripts.
What is the differance built in variables and User defined variables?a function is a block of instructions that affects the data a script is handling. In a script, you can use the functions that VBScript provides (i.e., built-in functions ) or you can create unique functions (i.e., user-defined functions).I analyze two popular built-in functions that let users provide input: MsgBox and InputBox. MsgBox displays a dialog box in which users can click buttons to provide input. InputBox displays a dialog box in which users can type text to provide input.
ORKeyword-driven TestingKeyword-driven testing breaks the test procedure into logical components that can then be used repeatedly in the assembly of new test scripts.
ORThere are 2 types of Environment variables.....Built-in & User-Defined
Built-in variables are such as : TestIteration, TestName...
User-defined variables are developed by the users in the .xml format and uploaded in the Test Settings -> Environment -> User Defined -> File
