Generate Test Execution Report with Screenshots inbuilt

How to generate HTML report with inbuilt screenshots?

Lot of automation testers would come across this path while trying to integrate their automation solution with some test management tool or trying to send the execution report to management team. The main issue we face here is that we need to attach the screenshots also while sending or uploading into another tool.
What would you think if we can convert the image into bytes and store it inside the HTML itself?
Yes. You are right. We can attach the screenshots and report statements in one single html file and easily we can attach or send it to anybody.

Function convertImageToBytes(strScreenshotFilePath)
  Dim streamInput, bytesStream, oDOM, tmpElement
  
  Set streamInput = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
  Set oDOM = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")  
  streamInput.Open
  streamInput.Type = 1  ' adTypeBinary
  streamInput.LoadFromFile strScreenshotPath
  bytesStream = streamInput.Read  
  
  Set tmpElement = oDOM.createElement("tmp")
  tmpElement.dataType = "bin.base64"
  tmpElement.nodeTypedValue = bytesStream
  convertImageToBytes = "data:image/png;base64," & Replace(tmpElement.text, vbLf, "")
End Function

You can get this content and assign to some attribute in html; and you can utilize it to build some logic around it to show the screenshot.
You can get lot of examples for this html logic in w3schools.

Robotic Process Automation vs Traditional Test Automation vs Process/Task Automation

In IT industry, the term RPA is keep on hearing all sides of the walls for a while; and I was so confused about What's the difference from the test automation tools in the market and what's more into it. I did some search, understanding, and writing this post to share with you all. If I am not correct, PLEASE correct me. Traditional Test Automation: First, we have to recall the test automation tool QTP or UFT (Initially developed by Mercury Interactive Corporation(MIC) after WinRunner, then sold to HP, and again MicroFocus acquired from HP now). If you look into the architecture of this tool, MIC was trying to convert the testers into more efficient testers i.e. Testers were executing the test cases manually for regression suites, performance suites, etc. which had lot of repetitive tasks done by human testers instead of concentrating into new ideas or bug finding strategies to improve the quality of the product.  Thus WinRunner was introduced but it was demanding m...

Run JavaScript from QTP

Yeah, You can run your pure JavaScript from QTP using RunScript method. Lot of times, we are in need of firing events or simulating actions on web page which is not supported by QTP. At that time, you can use your direct DOM methods and directly execute your script on the web page from QTP like, Dim MyPage ,  SearchBox Set MyPage  =  Browser ( "title:=Google" ) . Page ( "title:=Google" )    Set SearchBox  =  MyPage . RunScript ( "document.getElementsByName('q')(0);" ) SearchBox . Value = "testing" 'if objects available in frames, Set SearchBox  =  MyPage . RunScript ( "document.frames(4).document.getElementsByName('q')(0);" ) 'OR Set objFrame =  Browser ( "title:=Google" ) . Page ( "title:=Google" ). Frame( "title:=something" ) objFrame . RunScript ( "document.getElementsByName('q')(0);" ) Also, you can execute by obtaining actual brow...
