QTP TESTING PROCESS

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.

Recording a session on your application :

As you navigate through your application QuickTest 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.

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.

o 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.

o Adding logic and conditional statements to your test enables you to add

sophisticated checks to your test.

Debugging your test:

If changes were made to the script you need to debug it to check that it operates smoothly

and without interruption.

Running your test on a new version of your application :

You run a test to check the behavior of your application. While running QuickTest

connects to your application and performs each step in your test.

Analyzing the test results:

You examine the test results to pinpoint defects in your application.

Reporting defects :

As you encounter failures in the application when analyzing test results you will create

defect reports in Defect Reporting Tool.
