1) Explain about your Company’s Automation Framework?
a. Technical factors:
i. Nature of the AUT (Application Under Test)
ii. Tool Features (Facilities available)
iii. Availability of Skilled professionals
iv. Organizations experience
v. Technical support from vendor
b. Business factors:
i. Budget
ii. Vendor’s Reputation
iii. Client’s Interest
3) What test cases can be automated?
Test cases that we want to execute on number of versions of the software
Ex: Regression test cases
Test cases that we want to execute with multiple sets of data
Ex: Data driven test cases
Test cases having complex functionality
4) What test cases cannot be automated?
o Test cases that require more Human interaction
o CUI (command user interface) based test cases
5) Explain about the Testing process in QTP?
Planning:
o Analyzing the Application
o Automation Framework Implementation
o Selecting/Generating Test cases for Automation
o Collecting Test Data
o Configuring Tool Settings
Generating the basic tests
Using Object Repository method or using Descriptive Programming, we can generate Tests
Enhancing Tests
With respect to our project requirements, we have to enhance our tests. For enhancing tests QTP is providing various features like:
o Inserting Transaction points
o Synchronization
o Parameterization
o Inserting VB script Flow Control statements
o Adding comments
o Calling Functions/ calling Actions
o Using Environment variables
o Entering Regular Expressions
o Inserting Checkpoints
o Inserting Output values
Etc..
Debugging Tests (if required)
It is optional; basically scripting languages are Light weight languages, no need to compile them separately. During execution Scripts can be compiled and Run.
If we have any doubts about some scripts, then we can execute them step by step with the support of VBScript Debug commands and Break points
Running tests
QTP Supports Individual Test execution, Batch execution, Tests execution through AOM Scripting, and Scheduled execution with the support of Windows Operating system.
Analyzing Results
QTP is providing Result window in XML format.
QTP is providing Result deletion tool also.
QTP is providing Test results exporting facility. It supports HTML, Word document and PDF (portable document format) formats.
Reporting defects
6) Explain about the object identification configuration process in QuickTest?
7) What types of License available for QTP?
a) Seat License or Node locked:
b) Concurrent License or Floating License:
This License, we can use from different Systems but one at a time
8) How to generate Basic scripts/tests from Manual Test cases in QTP?
For generating basic tests QTP is providing 1) Object repository 2) Descriptive Programming
a) Object repository:
Recording (Local Repository)
b) Descriptive programming or Programmatic Descriptions
9) What is the difference between Local and Shared object Repository?
Local: QTP creates a Local Repository for every Action during Recording automatically
It’s a QTP internal file
Extension is .mtr – (mercury test repository/module test repository)
Shared: User creates shared repository by adding objects
That can be shared among number of tests
User has to maintain shared object repository files
Extension is .tsr – (test shared repository)
10) How to maintain objects in Object Repository?
Same as above 9th
11) What is Synchronization?
It is a process of matching the speeds of both QTP and AUT in order to get proper execution and results
12) How to synchronize QTP and AUT?
For synchronizing QTP and AUT, QTP is providing below methods (features)
o Synchronizations points
o Increasing tool default synchronization time (Increase timeout)
o Sync method (Only for web)
13) How to parametrize tests?
It is a process of passing parameters for replacing constant values. In QTP several methods are available
a. Through Looping : Here some limitations are there :
We can use Looping for sequential numbers and logical numbers only, if it is a string we can’t use.
b. Through Data table
c. Fetching test data directly from external files (excel, flat files)
d. Fetching test data directly from databases
e. Fetching data from AUT objects (front-end objects)
14) How to Generate Non-recordable steps?
Using Step Generator, we can generate non recordable steps
15) What are the benefits of Step Generator?
It’s a library of functions and utility objects. Through this we can generate recordable and non recordable steps, utility statements and built in functions.
16) How to count Links in a web page without using page checkpoint?
Using Description object and Childobjects method
17) How to count all available objects in a dialog box /a window/a web page?
Using Childobjects method
18) What are the major disadvantages in record tests?
Recording disadvantages:
o It occupies a lot of memory space due to this, QTP performance will be reduced
o Modifications are very difficult
o User may not have command on the script, if any modifications are there user may not understand properly
19) What are the disadvantages in using of checkpoints?
o They are QTP internal files we can’t use in external functions
o As they are QTP internal files they may corrupt
o As it is ready made feature, that has limited usage
20) In QuickTest Pro can we insert Checkpoints programmatically? How?
Yes. We can insert checkpoints programmatically with the help of GetRoProperty method.
21) What are Differences between Design time Data Table and Run-time Data Table?
Design Time Data Table:
It is viewed in the QTP Main Test
It is created prior to the test execution
It represents data from external Sources
Run-Time Data Table:
It is viewed in the QTP Test Result Window
It is created in Test Results after test execution.
It represents a live version of design Time Data table.
