QTP

Benefits of Automation

Benefits of Manual testing Introduction to QTP Main stages of QTP Plan / Create / Enhance Record and playback How to understand the Results, Report Results

Key word view and expert view etc... How to understand the VB Script etc. ( Discuss more details about VB script in last session of QTP) Students have to practice above topics then we start the following

SystemUtil.Run () function to bring the application windows or web. Also discuss About other VB built functions in QTP. Object Repository ( Types of Object Repositories will be discussed)

Parameterization Data Driven Test

Parameterization

how to import the excel Sheet and read the data from excel sheet. Data Table - Importing Excel Sheet, Database Connection from QTP)

Two types of repository Synchronization

Check Points: All types of Check points

Actions: Calling actions from the existing actions, splitting actions etc. Parameterization in actions:

Regular Expressions Regular expressions is added while inserting checkpoint for text How to Enhance the VB Script, write functions and call the function in another script. Batch Runner Multiple scripts can be run from batch runner
