Working with Test Objects in QTP
Test Object Model Conceptualization
Applying the Test Object Model Concept
Viewing Object properties Using Object
Spy
Demo on Test Object Model features of
QTP
Test Object Model Cont…
How Quick test Pro learns objects in
application ?
Quick Test first looks at the object on
which user is recording and stores it as a
test object & then determines which test
object class it fits into by,
3. Mandatory properties
4. Assistive properties..
5. Ordinal identifier……
6. Smart Identification..
Test Object Model Cont…
1. Mandatory properties:
For each Test Object class, Quick Test has list of mandatory
properties…
4. Assistive properties:
Quick Test adds assistive properties one by one to the description
until it has compiled a unique description…
• Ordinal identifier:
If the combination of all defined mandatory and assistive
properties is not sufficient to create a unique test object
description, Quickest also records the value for the selected
ordinal identifier.
10. Smart Identification:
A Smart Identification definition can help QuickTest identify
an object, if it is present, even when the recorded description fails
due to changes in one or more property values.
Test Object Model
How Quick Test Identifies objects during the test
run?
Quick test searches for a run time object that
exactly matches the description of the test object
from the object repository it learned while
recording…
Test Object Model
Test Object :
Test Object is an object that Quick
Test creates in the test to represent the actual
object in the application…
Run Time Object :
It is the actual object in the web
site or application on which methods are
performed during the test run..
Test Object Model
Viewing object properties by Object Spy :
Using the object spy, users can view the
properties of any object in an open application…
Test Object Model
Viewing object methods and methods
syntax using object spy…
Object Spy enables users to view both the
run time object methods, the test object
methods associated with an object and to
view the syntax for a selected method…
Test Object Model
Managing Test objects
Object Repository Dialog box :
- Per Action Mode
- Shared Action Mode
Managing Test objects
Identifying the Object :
- Logical Name
- Class
Viewing the Objects Property :
Type - Constant, Data table property ,variable
parameter.
Property - Name of the Property
Value - The value of the property
- Smart Identifier
- Add/ Remove
Managing Test Objects
Adding or Viewing New objects :
- Add New Objects
- Object spy
- Saves all the object properties and
values from a per action object repository
to a separate file for use as a
shared object repository in another
test…
- Modify the Test object properties
- Finding the Test object properties
- Modifying the Logical Names
Managing Test Objects
Object Properties Modification
Users can modify the properties of the temporary
version of the object during the test run with out
affecting the permanent values in the object
repository
- SetTOProperty
- GetTOProperty
Main phases of QTP testing Process
Preparing to record
Recording a session on the application
Executing the test
Enhancing your test
Debugging your test
Re-executing the tests on a new version of
the application
Analyzing the test results
Reporting defects
DEMO
• Please record a test and run the script.
• Analyze the test result.
Types of Checkpoints
(Verification Process)
Standard Checks values of an object’s Check that a radio button is
Checkpoint properties selected.
Image Checkpoint Checks the property values of Check that the image
an image source file is correct.
Table Checkpoint Checks information in a table Check that the value in a
table cell is correct.
Page checkpoint Checks the characteristics of a Web Check how long a Web page
page takes to load or if a Web
page contains broken links.
Text / Checks that a text string is displayed Check whether the
Text Area in the appropriate place in a Web expected text string is
Checkpoint page or application window displayed in the expected
location on a Web page or
dialog box
Bitmap Checkpoint Checks an area of a Web page Check that a Web page (or
or application after capturing any portion of it) is
it as a bitmap displayed as expected.
Types of Checkpoints Cont…
Database Checks the contents of databases Check that the value in a
Checkpoint accessed by an application or Web database query is correct.
site
Accessibility Identifies areas of a Web site Check if the images on a
Checkpoint to check for Section 508 compliancy Web page include ALT
properties, required by the
W3C Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines.
XML Checkpoint Checks the data content of Note: XML file checkpoints
XML documents are used to check a
specified XML file; XML
application checkpoints are
used to check an XML
document within a Web
page.
Demo on using checkpoints
Apply different types of checkpoints to the
recorded test.
