User Defined Variables

The document discusses user defined variables in QuickTest Professional (QTP). It provides steps to create an environment file with user defined variables, and then associate this file with a current test in QTP to load and use the variables. It also provides an XML format for directly coding the environment file. The document also summarizes navigation steps for virtual object configuration and management in QTP, and defines different types of frameworks (linear, modular, keyword-driven, hybrid, data frameworks).

·         Select the option settings
·         Select the environment tab
·         Select the variable type as user defined
·         Click on new
·         Specify the variable name and the value
·         Click on ok
·         Click on export
·         Browse the desired location
·         Specify the desired file name with .XML extension
·         Click on save

To avoid the above navigation one can directly develop the XML file as follows

<environment>
<variable>
<name> flight path </name>
<value>”d:\program files\mercury” </value>
</variable>
<variable>
<name> b </name>
<value>203</value>
</variable>
</environment>

Navigation for associating an environment file to the currant test:


·         Activate the menu item test
·         Select the option settings
·         Select the environment tab
·         Select the variable types as user defined
·         Select the check box load variables and value from ecternal files
·         Browse the path of the environment file
·         Click on apply and ok
In order to avoid the above navigation one can directly type the following script statement in the starting of th
Syntax: environment. Load from file “path of the env file”

Example: environment. Load from file”d:\envfile122.xml” invoke application environment. Value(“flight Path

Virtual object configuration:

Navigation:
·         Activate the menu item tools
·         Go to virtual objects
·         Select the option new virtual object
·         Click on next
·         Specify the desired class(type) of the object
·         Click on next
·         Mark the area in the application with the help of mark object button

Framework:

Types of frame works: - (Mainly)


1.      Linear frame work
2.      Modular frame work
3.      Key-word driven frame work
4.      Hybrid frame work
5.      Data frame work

1.Linear Framework
·         Generate the basic test
·         Enhance the test
·         Debug the test
·         Execute the test
·         Analyze the test
2.Modular Framework:
·         Develop the individual components for each and every task
·         Make them as reusable components
·         Prepare the required drivers based on the end to end scenarios
·         Execute the drivers
·         Analyze the result
