QTP Rare Tips - I


1. Prevent machine locking while script execution in QTP
  1. Set deviceReplay = CreateObject("Mercury.DeviceReplay")
  2. deviceReplay.MouseMove 0,0  //OR abs_x + 10, abs_y + 10
  3. deviceReplay.PressKey 28 //optional
  4. Set deviceReplay = Nothing
Also used this object, we can perform Mouse/Keyboard operations if Set/Type not supported in QTP. Refer this.

2. Produce HTML log
    a. Close the QTP.
    b. Modify the below key value by opening Registry Editor in your machine.
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\Logger\Media\Log
    c. Change DWord Active value as 1 insteadof 0.
    d. Now open QTP and execute your scripts. You will find a new folder Log under your results folder.
    e. You can use the HTML log present under Log folder to send via mail to anybody.

3. Disable unwanted log events from your log.
You can use Reporter.Filter to restrict default events on log. You can use Filter property to log the events which are logged by yourself using Reporter.ReportEvent and want to  avoid entries which are logged by QTP itself like below,
  1. Reporter.Filter = rfEnableAll   'Enables all type of logging
  2. Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Step1", "opened my page"
  3. Reporter.Filter = rfDisableAll    'Disables all type of logging

4. DescribeResult(Err.Number)
DescribeResult(Err.Number) in QTP - Just displays Err.Description value

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...

Change IE Browser ZOOM settings

Lot of UI automation testers could have faced this problem as we could change the zoom settings while operating manually for our convenience and forgot to reset to 100%. But our QTP and some other related tools would operate the browser perfectly if browser zoom is 100%. So wee need to change the zoom before start to run the scripts. Its better to have a code snippet in our framework to change this zoom setting right? Here we go... 1. We can simply change the Registry values before Invoking IE Function  ChangeRegistry   Dim  objShell   Set  objShell =  CreateObject ( "WScript.Shell" )  objShell.RegWrite  "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Zoom\ZoomFactor" ,  "100000" ,  "REG_DWORD"   Set  objShell =  Nothing End   Function This option is very useful. But in real time, lot of customers could have restricted write access to windows registry. So we can try othe...
