QTP Testing process

1. Create your test plan - Prior to automating there should be a detailed description of the test including the exact steps to follow, data to be input, and all items to be verified by the test. The verification information should include both data validations and existence or state verifications of objects in the application.
2. Recording a session on your application - As you navigate through your application, Quick Test graphically displays each step you perform in the form of a collapsible icon-based test tree. A step is any user action that causes or makes a change in your site, such as clicking a link or image, or entering data in a form.
3. Enhancing your test - Inserting checkpoints into your test lets you search for a specific value of a page, object or text string, which helps you identify whether or not your application is functioning correctly. NOTE: Checkpoints can be added to a test as you record it or after the fact via the Active Screen. It is much easier and faster to add the checkpoints during the recording process. Broadening the scope of your test by replacing fixed values with parameters lets you check how your application performs the same operations with multiple sets of data. Adding logic and conditional statements to your test enables you to add sophisticated checks to your test.
4. Debugging your test - If changes were made to the script, you need to debug it to check that it operates smoothly and without interruption.
5. Running your test on a new version of your application - You run a test to check the behavior of your application. While running, Quick Test connects to your application and performs each step in your test.
6. Analyzing the test results - You examine the test results to pinpoint defects in your application.
7. Reporting defects - As you encounter failures in the application when analyzing test results, you will create defect reports in Defect Reporting Tool.

Code for how to handle the nested tables

I have nested tables used to format some pages. Trouble is that deep down in there, there is an image on which I need to click. So, how to get there dynamically? search the tables and find the particular thing for which I am looking, be it a string, or an object of some sort.

Set oDesc = Description.Create()
oDesc("html tag").Value = "TABLE"

Set oChild = Browser("Browser").Page("Page").ChildObjects(oDesc)
iTableCount = oChild.Count

Msgbox "We have " & iTableCount &" tables"

For lCount = 0 to iTableCount - 1 'Zero-based
For lRowCount = 1 to oChild(lCount).RowCount
'Msgbox "Table " & CStr(lCount) & " has " & oChild(lCount).RowCount & " rows and " & Cstr(oChild(lCount).ColumnCount(lRowCount + 1)) & " columns."
For lColumnCount = 1 to oChild(lCount).ColumnCount(lRowCount)
Msgbox "Current Cell: " & lRowCount & "," & lColumnCount
Msgbox "CellData: " & oChild(lCount).GetCellData(lRowCount , lColumnCount)

Next

Next
Next
oChild(0).ChildItem(2,2,"Image",0).Click

Set oChild = Nothing

Set oDesc = Nothing

We are using the Descriptive programming to get at our array of tables. Some interesting notes:

1) The tables array is zero-based

2) The rows/columns seem to be collections, and are therefore 1 based

3) The two tables in my example HTML are nested, but both show up in the tables array. I find this interesting, but very useful. Since it works that way, I don't have to loop a table's row/column combination to determine if a particular cell contains a nested table. Allows for a much more dynamic way to get at certain information.

Number of ways to parameterize data in QTP?

How many ways we can parameterize data in QTP?

There are four types of parameters:
Test, action or component parameters enable you to use values passed from your test or component, or values from other actions in your test.

Data Table parameters enable you to create a data-driven test (or action) that runs several times using the data you supply. In each repetition, or iteration, QuickTest uses a different value from the Data Table.

Environment variable parameters enable you to use variable values from other sources during the run session. These may be values you supply, or values that QuickTest generates for you based on conditions and options you choose.

Random number parameters enable you to insert random numbers as values in your test or component. For example, to check how your application handles small and large ticket orders, you can have QuickTest generate a random number and insert it in a number of tickets edit field.

Difference between Quality assurance & Quality control

Quality assurance:

Quality assurance is an activity which establishes & evaluates the process that produce products

QA measures the process to identify the weaknesses & correct those weaknesses to continually improve the process

Quality assurance is a staff function, responsible for implementing the quality policy
defined through the development and continuous improvement of software development
processes.

Staff function: A staff function is a secondary business activity that supports the line functions of a business to achieve the objectives. The nature of this function is advisory. The people belonging to this function investigate, research, and give advice to their line managers.

Quality Control: Quality control is the process by which product quality is compared with applicable standards, and the action taken when nonconformance is detected.

Quality control is a line function, and the work is done within a process to ensure that the work product conforms to standards andrequirements.

Quality control activities focus on identifying defects in the actual products produced. These
activities begin at the start of the software development process with reviews of requirements,
and continue until all application testing is complete.


The following statements help differentiate quality control from quality assurance:

• Quality control relates to a specific product or service.

• Quality control verifies whether specific attribute(s) are in, or are not in, a specific product or service.

• Quality control identifies defects for the primary purpose of correcting defects.

• Quality control is the responsibility of the team/worker.

• Quality control is concerned with a specific product.

• Quality assurance helps establish processes.

• Quality assurance sets up measurement programs to evaluate processes.

• Quality assurance identifies weaknesses in processes and improves them.

• Quality assurance is a management responsibility, frequently performed by a staff
function.

• Quality assurance is concerned with all of the products that will ever be produced by a
process.

• Quality assurance is sometimes called quality control over quality control because it
evaluates whether quality control is working.

• Quality assurance personnel should never perform quality control unless it is to
validate quality control.

Pavankumar Nandagiri..............

Best Practices While Testing

Follow these steps while testing a system:

1. Prepare comprehensive test plan specifications and test cases for each level of testing. Supplement these with the test data and test logs. Test plans for system testing may involve operators and test plans because acceptance testing involves customers.

2. Design the test cases to test system restrictions, such as file and database size (stress testing).

3. Develop the data to test specific cases. Copies of live files must not be used except for Acceptance testing.

4. Do not use confidential data for testing without written authorization, especially in the case of Acceptance testing.

5. Follow relevant standards.

6. Perform Regression testing on each component of the system. This ensures that no anomalies have crept into the system because of the changes made to the system.

7. Make sure to document and set up the test environment for each level in advance of testing. Test environments specify the preconditions required to perform the tests.

8. Specify the intended test coverage as part of the test plan. Test coverage is the degree to which specific test cases address all specified requirements for a specific system or component.

Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs or breadcrumb trails are a navigation technique used in user interfaces.
Its purpose is to give users a way to keep track of their location within programs or documents. The term is taken from the trail of breadcrumbs left by Hansel and Gretel in the popular fairytale.


In Websites:

Breadcrumbs typically appear horizontally across the top of a webpage, usually below any title bars or headers. They provide links back to each previous page that the user navigated through in order to get to the current page, for hierarchical structures usually the parent pages of the current one. Breadcrumbs provide a trail for the user to follow back to the starting/entry point of a website. They may look something like this:

Home page → Section page → Subsection page

REGRESSION TEST

Regression test case selection methodology:

1.Code Base Regression Test Selection (CBRTS)
2. Specification Based Regression Test Selection (SBRTS)
3. Risk Based Regression Test Selection (RBRTS)

Regression test Folder Structure:

Module Level structure (Just with Modules)
1. Easy to Add
2. Easy to locate in high level
3. Easy to maintain in high level

UC level structure under Module (Existing structure of System Tests)

1.Easy to maintain in functional level / module level
2. Easy to locate in low level
3. Easy to maintain in low level

Regression test selection from System tests:

1.Risk Based Tests from every UC.
2. Test case that covers the primary objective / summary outline of the UC.
3. Test case that covers the priority E2E functionalities from that UC.
4. Integrated E2E test cases from UC level.

Conditions to be followed on Regression Test selection:

1. Selected tests must cover all the major functionalities of the module.
2. No –ve tests in RT.
3. Selected tests must not concentrate on data type / data change / screen design.
4. Selected tests must not get affected on DBCR/UICR.
5. Selected Regression tests must cover most of the UAT cases.
6. Selected tests must cover all the possible High Risk areas in functional flow.

QC Testing Process

Below is a high level view of the QC Testing Process




QC Plan and Test Strategy: Documents a high level view of the goals, scope, test environment, high level test data, test preparation, roles and responsibilities, etc.

Final QC Report: reports the number of defects found, the QC process ratings, the development actual hours, the QC actual hours, customer feedback and the defects broken down by causal codes.
