Abstract
Testing is the process of checking the system working fine or not according to the need of customer . Testing is basically used to find bug, error
from the system , make report and send to the developer. Testing can be done by two types either manually or automation testing. This paper
show the problem related to manual testing and discuss the concept of manual and automation testing .This paper show the importance of
automation testing and test cases and difference of automation and manual testing and use of Qtp tool.
Keyword
Manual and automation Testing, Problem with Manual testing, Test cases, Qtp tool, Working and its uses.

The test execution problem is solved by automating it
by writing test scripts Instead of directly interacting 3.2 How To Write A Test case:-
with, the test engineer writes a collection of executable
test scripts each containing one or more test cases.
These test scripts can be automatically executed. They
stimulate the system with certain input values. Test
scripts can be implemented in many scripting or
programming languages and then executed on a
framework that can read in scripts in that particular
language. The test execution tool records the output
values, compares the observed values against expected
values and finally gives out a test verdict. As test
scripting is a programming task, test engineers need to
possess different skills from test design and test

execution.

4 QTP TOOL & ITS WORKING

QTP stands for Quickest Professional, a product
of Hewlett Packard (HP). This tool helps testers to
perform an automated functional testing seamlessly
without monitoring once script development is
complete.
HP QTP uses Visual Basic Scripting (VBScript) for
automating the applications. The Scripting Engine
need not be installed exclusively as it is available part
of the Windows OS. The Current version of VBScript
is 5.8 which is available as part of Win 7. VBScript is

language.
As the test execution is automated using test scripting,
one can already run the initial testing using the 4.1 Advantage:-

4.2 Working
• Test Automation Feasibility Analysis - First
step is to check if the application can be
automated or not. Not all applications can be
automated due to its limitations.
• Appropriate Tool Selection - The Next most
important step is the selection of tools. It
depends on the technology in which the
application is built, its features and usage.
• Evaluate the suitable framework - Upon
selecting the tool the next activity is to select
a suitable framework. There are various kinds
of frameworks and each framework has its
own significance. We will deal with

IJSER
frameworks in detail later this chapter.
• Build the Proof of Concept - Proof of
Concept(POC) is developed with an end to
end scenario to evaluate if the tool can
support the automation of the application. As
it is performed with an end to end scenario
which will ensure that the major
functionalities can be automated.
• Develop Automation Framework - After
building the POC. Framework should be built
after diligent analysis of the technology used
by the application and also its key features.
• Develop Test Script, Execute and Analyze -
Once Script development is completed, the
scripts are executed, results are analyzed and
defects are logged, if any. The Test Scripts
are usually version controlled.

5 CONCLUSION
Manual testing is a time consuming process and
requires large number of software tester and not
provides accurate result whereas automation testing
tool provide accurate result and enable us to record the
test suit and re-play it if required. This paper gives brief
introduction of manual and automation testing, problem
related with manual testing and describe the importance
of automation testing .
