How to face Interview Questions in QTP ?

Q. What are test objects?

Test objects are objects created and maintained by QTP in its object repository. Each test objecthas a name and a set of
properties to uniquely identify the actual object in the application.
Q. how does QTP identifies the objects during the script run?
During script run QuickTest searches for a run-time object that has the similar description of thetest object in the object
repository.
Q. How can i check the properties of an object in an application without using checkpoints? For !a"ple how
will #ou check whether a button is enabled?
Anser! "et#$Property method is used to retrie%e the properties of the object in an application.&t is %ery useful method
and can be used to retrie%e almost any of the property that can be seenhile spying the object ith object spy. 'or
E(ample)To get hether button is enabled or not.

Q. How can I "odif# the properties values of test objects in $bject %epositor# during runti"e?
A. 3ou can use 4etT$Property method of test object.$bject-description/.4etT$Property Property5 *alueThe %alues of
test object properties are used to identify the objects. 4ometimes the properties ofthe object in the application change
dynamically. 'or e(ample te(t of a link in a ebpage is theusername used to login to that page.Te(t property is used by
test object to identify the link. 4o in order to identify the actual object ecan manipulate the %alue of 6te(t7 property of
link using 4etT$Property.
Q. How do #ou s#nchroni&e #our scripts in QTP?
A. 'or aiting until na%igation of eb page completes e can use 4ync method. 'or aiting until an object appears e
can use E(ist method. 'or aiting until a property of object changes e can use 0aitProperty method. 3ou can set
broser na%igation timeout in! 2lick Test 8 4ettings menu4elect eb tab in Test 4ettings indo. Enter the timeout in
,roser 9a%igation Timeout te(t bo(. 3ou can set global object sychro:i:ation timeout in! 2lick Test 8 4ettings menu
4elect #un tab in Test 4ettings indo. Enter the timeout in $bject 4ynchroni:ation Timeout te(t bo(.
Q Where can #ou write user defined functions that are accessible b# all scripts?
A. 0e can rite user defined function in .%bs file. This file can be loaded by adding the file asfollos! 2lick Test 8
4ettings menu4elect #esources tab in Test 4ettings indo and add the file. Alternati%ely you can also load the file
through script usingE(ecute'ile 6absolute or relati%e path of file7 'or E(ample! E(ecute'ile 62!;Test.%bs7
Q What are regular e!pressions?
A. #egular e(pressions used for identifying objects and te(t strings ith %arying %alues. 3ou can use regular
e(pressions for defining the property %alues of an object5 creating checkpoints ith %arying %alues etc. E(ample! 'or
e(ample if the caption on the button in an application changes dynamically and can be anything hich starts ith 6<ello7
-&t can be <ello =3>5 <ello A,?@ and so on/ 3ou can go object repository and change the %alue of name property of the
button object to7 <ello.A7<ere 6.7 means any single character and 6A7 means B or more occurrences of preceding
character. 4o.A means B or more occurrences of any character. There are many other regular e(pression characters!
'or E(ample! #egular e(pression testCB-DE matches testB5 test?5 testFGG to testD.#egular e(pression abcCHIDE
matches abcH5 abcI5 abcDQ. Different ays to parameteri:e testsJ A. Test5 action or component parameters K for using
%alues from other action in your test. Data Table parameters K for creating data dri%en test based on %alues in data
table. En%ironment %ariable parameters K 'or using %alues of en%ironment %ariable. #andom number parameters K 'or
using random numbers as %alues in our test or component.
Q. What can #ou do if values of object properties in an application are changing constantl#?
A. 0e can try using alternati%es like regular e(pressions5 2hanging description of test objects in object repository during
run time5 using descripti%e programming and so on.
Q. What can #ou do if objects are not identified b# QTP?
A. ?/ 'or standard indos en%ironment you can try object mapping user defined classes to standard classes.F/3ou
can find hether any addins are a%ailable for gi%en en%ironment.@/ check if any other reliable alternati%es are a%ailable
like using keyboard shortcuts5 using automation object model of application if a%ailable and so on.
Q. What is descriptive progra""ing?
A. Descripti%e programming allos you to ork ith objects that are not stored in objectrepository. to types of
programmatic descriptions.?/ listing the set of properties and %alues that describe the object directly in a
teststatement.F/ Add collection of properties and %alues to a Description object5 and then enter the Description object
name in the statement.
Q. How will #ou access database fro" QTP?
A. 3ou can use Acti%e= Data $bject for accessing the content of database. 3ou cancreate connection object5 recordset
object and then e(ecute query. And access the %aluesof query in recordset.
!a"ple 4et obj2onn+ 2reate$bject-.AD$D,.connection./
4et obj#ec4et + 2reate$bject-.AD$D,.recordset./obj2onn.open str2on4tring
Lstr2on4tring is database connection string.obj#ec4et.open strQuery5obj2onn LstrQuery is 4Q1 query to e(ecute.

QTP' %egular e!pressions and (escriptive Progra""ing
hat is use of regular e(pression in qtp J
The Nse $f #egular E(pressions &n qtp &s
1
#egular e(pressions enable QuickTest to identify objects and te(t strings ith %arying %alues. 3ou can use
regular e!pressions when'
defining the property %alues of an object in dialog bo(es or in programmatic descriptions
parameteri:ing a step
creating checkpoints ith %arying %alues
'or e(ample5 you can use a regular e(pression if you ant to create a te(t checkpoint on a date te(t string5
but the displayed date changes according to the current date. &f you define the date as a regular e(pression5
the checkpoint checks that the captured te(t string matches the e(pected date format5 rather than checking
the e(act date %alue.
3ou can use regular e(pressions only for %alues of type string.
& am using some of the code & listed earlier in my blog to open and get the hnd of some broserOpage
objects. <oe%er5 one of the other automation engineers found an issue ith my code. Apparently5 the code
had trouble opening a url like http'))groups.google.co")grphpJ. 4o5 & began to ork on it. QTP as
returning the e%er-useful 6"eneral Error6 error5 so & had to sleuth this out for myself. & am using this construct
in my code to get at the handle!
&f ,roser-6hnd!+6 P str,roser/.Page-6url!+6 P o&E.Document.url/.E(ist-B/ then
strPage + ,roser-6hnd!+6 P str,roser/.Page-6url!+6 P o&E.Document.url/."et#$Property-6hnd6/
End &f
9o5 the co-orker as getting the aforementioned "eneral Error -i.e.5 & am broke and not smart enough to
tell you hy/ on the line inside the &f. 4o5 descripti%e programming orked fine to get in there. <oe%er5 hen
it got to the line inside5 it didnQt. & added some code to place a 6;6 in front of the J the co-orker passed -to
indicate that the J should be treated literally/5 and it orks fine. & modified the code & no use to look for this
issue and correct it ithout direction.
Ry only issue is! hy the heck did it ork fine on the E(ist line5 but not the "et#$Property lineJ
1esson learned! be mindful of regular e(pressions in your descripti%e programming.

How to handle d#na"ic objects in QTP?
QTP has a unique feature called 4mart $bject &dentificationOrecognition. QTP generally identifies an object by
matching its test object and run time object properties. QTP may fail to recognise the dynamic objects hose
properties change during run time. <ence it has an option of enabling 4mart &dentification5 herein it can identify the
objects e%en if their properties changes during run time. 2heck this out-&f QuickTest is unable to find any object that
matches the recorded object description5 or if it finds more than one object that fits the description5 then QuickTest
ignores the recorded description5 and uses the 4mart &dentification mechanism to try to identify the object. 0hile the
4mart &dentification mechanism is more comple(5 it is more fle(ible5 and thus5 if configured logically5 a 4mart
&dentification definition can probably help QuickTest identify an object5 if it is present5 e%en hen the recorded
description fails.The 4mart &dentification mechanism uses to types of properties!,ase filter properties`The most
fundamental properties of a particular test object classa those hose %alues cannot be changed ithout changing the
essence of the original object. 'or e(ample5 if a 0eb linkLs tag as changed from to any other %alue5 you could no
longer call it the same object. $ptional filter properties`$ther properties that can help identify objects of a particular
class as they are unlikely to change on a regular basis5 but hich can be ignored if they are no longer applicable.

T#pes of properties that Quick Test learns while recording?
-a/ Randatory -b/ Assisti%e . &n addition to recording the mandatory and assisti%e properties specified in the $bject
&dentification dialog bo(5 QuickTest can also record a backup ordinal identifier for each test object. The ordinal
identifier assigns the object a numerical %alue that indicates its order relati%e to other objects ith an otherise
identical description -objects that ha%e the same %alues for all properties specified in the mandatory and assisti%e
property lists/. This ordered %alue enables QuickTest to create a unique description hen the mandatory and assisti%e
properties are not sufficient to do so.
