Here is the first article in this QTP training series – “Introduction to QuickTest Professional (QTP)”

Introduction To QuickTest Professional (QTP)

What is QTP?

Micro Focus ’s Quick Test Professional (QTP) is a software that facilitates Automation Testing for software applications – Functional and Regression testing to be more specific. QTP comes with a user interface that can be considered an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the test itself.

IDE has various features that aid the tester in developing a comprehensive script that would successfully validate the purpose of the test. All these features will be discussed in detail as we proceed through the series of these articles.

Some of the important aspects of QTP:

  • It uses VB Script as its scripting language (The scripting language is the one that gets interpreted at runtime).
  • QTP runs only in a Windows environment.
  • The current version of QTP is 11.0 (Latest version of Unified Functional Testing – UFT 11.5)
  • The technologies it supports are Web, Java.Net, SAP, Oracle, Siebel, PeopleSoft, Web Services, and many major languages. However, some of the older versions don’t support all the technologies listed.

How Does it Work?

The basic test creation method is record and playback. What does this really mean? Let’s talk about “Record” first. When a tester launches QTP and performs a series of operations on the AUT (Application Under Test) QTP generates lines of code that correspond to each operation performed.

This will be the basic test script. Moving on to ‘Playback’. When the test script created is run, it performs the exact same operations on the AUT thus playing back the sequence of steps already recorded.

For Example, when I launch QTP and try to access the login page of a web-based email program, I enter the login ID, Password and press the OK button. These actions are recorded in their equivalent VBScript lines of code in the QTP IDE. When I save this test script and play it back, QTP will enter the same login ID and Password I entered before and clicks on the OK button for me.

Now this being the gist of the basic test creation technique, record and playback are not always sufficient for a robust test script. The tester will have to use the other features in the IDE in conjunction with a few of his programming skills to achieve the required results.

There are various technical aspects to be taken into consideration before we attempt to record and playback, like the state of the AUT, synchronization, the exact menu options, the exact code that QTP generates, etc. We will get to that as soon as we discuss the basic concepts of the tool itself.

Here’s how all this works. QTP identifies the various objects in the AUT by a name or handler ID or any other unique property/properties that the object possesses. During the recording phase, it captures all these properties and during playback, it performs the desired operations like a mouse click, checkbox checking, etc. on these objects.

What Will You Need to Get Started with QTP?

A valid QTP license or in the case of a learner a trial version on their computer.

QTP Download: Here is a link to download the QTP trial version: Download Micro Focus Unified Functional Testing (UFT).

In the above link, go to the “Trials and Demos” tab and select the ‘Micro Focus QTP Essentials 11.0 English Evaluation (web GUI Testing only) option’. You can also select the latest version of Micro Focus Unified Functional Testing 11.50 CC English SW E-Media Evaluation.

Let us know if you want more detailed instructions on downloading and installing QTP trial version on your machine. There are two kinds of licenses i.e. Seat license and concurrent/floating license. Seat license is for a single machine at one time whereas a current license is for a particular number of concurrent users.

Now that we have some background information about QTP, let’s examine the tool itself starting with the UI.

QTP GUI:

When a test is recorded or created, it can be viewed in one of these two views:

  • Keyword view: This view is a tabular representation of all the objects and the actions that are performed on them. Every row in the table is a step performed on the AUT and can be modified. Some of the most common columns displayed are the item, operation, value, and documentation.
  • Expert view: As the name indicates, this view is for more technical users who would like to tweak the source code as per their requirements.

Both views are available simultaneously so the user can switch between them anytime during test creation or modification.

Let’s record a little something to get started

Step #1: Launch QTP. The first thing that comes up is the Add-in manager. It displays all the add-ins that are available and the user can check or uncheck the ones as needed. Active-X, Web and Visual Basic are available by default. (This feature can be turned off if required).

QTP Add-in manager

Step #2: On Clicking OK in the Add-in Manager QTP, the start page comes up.

QTP start page

Step #3: On choosing the “Record” option (F3 key) the “Record and Run settings” screen comes up with “Web” and “Windows Application” tabs. Click OK without changing any settings. However, all the features of this screen will be discussed at length later on.

QTP Record and Run settings

Step #4: For our example, I am going to launch the ‘Flight’ application from the samples that come with QTP. I am going to enter the “Agent Name” and “Password” on the Login screen. Now, let’s examine the code it generates.

The following is the keyword view. As you can see, the actions are in the form of a table with columns: Item, Operation, Value, and Documentation. The item corresponds to the object in the AUT on which we performed an action, the operation is the action itself, value is a data we set the particular object to and documentation is more or less like a description.

QTP keyword view

The corresponding keyword view for the same test is as follows: As you can see, this view contains the source code for all the actions performed.

QTP keyword view source code

Step #5: The code can be manipulated from either of these views.

Conclusion

Here is a list of everything we discussed in this article.

QTP is a software that aids automated Functional and Regression testing of software applications. The current version runs only in a Windows environment and uses VB script as a scripting language. The basic method for the creation of a test is Record and Playback, although that’s not always sufficient. It comes with two kinds of licenses, seat and concurrent.

The default add-ins are Active X, Web, and Visual Basic. Tests can be recorded on a Web or Windows application; specific details are to be provided in the record and run settings pop-up window. The GUI provides two views: Keyword and Expert.

The Keyword view is a tabular form that shows details like the name of the objects, its value, and the operation performed, etc. The Expert view displays the performed actions on the AUT in the form of source code.

Additional operations to be performed on the test objects can be added or deleted either from the Keyword view or programmatically from the Expert view. More details on this in the next article.

About Author: This is Swati and with these articles, I am trying to establish a comprehensive learning experience for QTP beginners. Having worked for more than 4 years on QTP in my overall 8 years of life as QA, I realize that the potential for Automation Testing is immense. I attempt to exercise that very potential collectively with all our readers through these articles.

  4. @Lakshmi: There are minute differences, for example in 11 micClass values are not case sensitive but in 10 they are. So if you are trying to learn then the older version is fine too.

  5. @dhaval dosi: Well, you ask the most difficult question and it took me a while to get back to you. Here are your answers:
    1. Which automation tools don’t require coding knowledge: I am really not aware of any that don’t require coding knowledge at all. A minimum level of expertise is important.
    2. About testing jobs: It is not hard to get a testing job than it is to get any other IT job. About salary being less, that’s not true. Testers are some of the best paid folks in the industry.

    I hope I answered your questions!

    I have tried several times to perform the basic testing, where I start the recording, then open the browser, go to facebook, type random email and password, it does not me through. I close the browser, stop the recording.
    However, when I play the recording it performs exactly what I did till it stops in the last action, when I closed the windows.
    It shows this “Window(“Window”).Click 394,132″.
    Can someone please help me understand that why I am getting this error.

  44. @Ritu: When you say the steps are not getting recorded, I hope you are talking about a webapp. Is that so?

    If yes, couple of things you need to check:
    1. Only select the browser that is compatible
    2. Also run QTP as an admin. that means, close QTP. on your desktop icon, right click and choose “Run as administrator” and then try to record

    I hope this help. Let me know if it works out or we provide more information and we will debug it

    Reply
  52. @Sri: Recording a script is not as bad as people make it sound. My suggestion is to initially start learning the automation to record tests(skeletons) and slowly try to add some steps programmatic-ally. Once you feel confident you can switch over to complete programming.

  54. I wanted to download QTP 11 but the HP site would oly provide UTF 11.5. I installed it but can’tsee how to coordinate running the first test sample app – “Flight” login – with the UTF GUI. You advised someone to change the settings in Record and Run, but I don’t see these buttons and the menu options don’t correspond. Any advice?

  55. Thanks for your wonderful initiative to start the QTP from the basics especially for testers like me with only Manual Testing Experience.

    One kind suggestion is the training would be even more helpful if you can explain the upcoming articles with simple examples and screenshots as it would help the concepts better.

  56. I was trying to learn QTP and in the process came across your website. Everything is very well explained and I really appreciate the effort you put into it.

    I have trouble installing QTP software on to my system. I followed the steps provided on the website (downloaded Software_HP_UFT_11.50_English_T6510-15080 from HP website) but every time I try to launch QTP, its asking for a license key. Also tried uninstalling and re-installing the software but that did not help.

    Could you please help me in resolving the issue?

    Thanks,
    Sindura.

  57. Is QTP helpful for the conversion application like for e.g. Spreadsheet converter plugin for excel, where we have to test the exact conversion of data, charts from a spreadsheet to webpage, flash or smartphone. If not QTP which tool would be helpful for such

    If you have any installer please share them also or at least send it to my mail id.

  97. Well, you ask the most difficult question and it took me a while to get back to you. Here are your answers:
    1. Which automation tools don’t require coding knowledge: I am really not aware of any that don’t require coding knowledge at all. A minimum level of expertise is important.
    2. About testing jobs: It is not hard to get a testing job than it is to get any other IT job. About salary being less, that’s not true. Testers are some of the best paid folks in the industry.
    I hope I answered your questions!
