Automation Fundamental Concepts
What is Test Automation ?
Software Test Automation is the process of automating the steps of manual test cases using an automation tool Or utility to shorten the testing life cycle with respect to time…
When application undergoes regression, some of the steps might be missed out or skipped which can be avoided in Automation…
Automation helps to avoid human errors and also expedite the testing process…
To implement the Test Automation detailed planning and effort is required
Automation Fundamental Concepts
Automation saves time and effort which results in reduction of the Test life cycle…
Benefits of Automation- Consistency of Test Execution- Reducing cycle time of regression test cycles- Data driven testing- Repeatability- Coverage- Reliability- Reusability of test wares
Automation Fundamental Concepts
Automation life cycle is a subset of the entire test life cycle…
Automation planning can be initiated in parallel to the test planning phase…
Factors to be considered in automation planning, Stability of AUT (Application under test) No of regression cycles to be performed Compatibility of App platform with testing
tools Cost benefit analysis (ROI) Availability of skilled resources
Regression Testing & Automation
When Automation is applicable?
Regression Testing Cycles are long and iterative.
If the application is planned to have multiple releases / builds
If it’s a long running application where in small enhancements / Bug Fixes keeps happening
Test Repeatability is required
Introduction to QTP (QuickTest Professional)“The Mercury advanced keyword-driven testing solution”
Technologies Supported Default Support 1. Standard Windows applications 2. Web objects / Applications 3. ActiveX controls 4. Visual Basic applications Additional QuickTest add-ins Support, 1. Java 2. Oracle 3. SAP Solutions, 4. .NET Windows 5. Web Forms, 6. Siebel, 7. PeopleSoft, 8. Web services, and terminal emulator applications.
QTP At a Glance …..
Testing Process with QTP
Quick Test Pro involves 3 main stages:
Creating Test scripts
Running Tests
Analyzing Test Results
Testing Process with QTP
Creating Tests
• Create a test script by recording a manual test scenario on the AUT (Application Under Test) using QTP.
• Quick Test Pro graphically displays each step users perform in the form of a collapsible, icon based tree view in QTP’s Keyword View.
Testing Process with QTP
Running Tests & Analyzing Test Results
• Running Tests:Once the test scripts are recorded / created, next step is to
execute them…While running (executing) the tests Quick Test Pro connects to the web site or AUT and performs each operation in the test as performed manually while recording / creating tests (test scripts)…
• Debugging Test : To identify and eliminate the defects
in the test scripts. • Analyzing Test Results:
Once the test scripts are executed, test results and the summary can be viewed for result analysis.

Add-in Manager
• Default Add-ins− ActiveX− Visual basic− Web
• Other Add-Ins− Siebel− Java− SAP− Oracle − .Net and many more
Add-in Manager Cont…
QTP’s Add-in Manager facilitates the users to select the technology / environment from variety of environments suitable for the AUT (Application Under Test)
Once an add-in is loaded, users can record that application in its supported environment and thus QTP recognizes the objects specific to the application under test (AUT) as loaded through Add-in Manager.
It is critical for the users to know the development technologies / environment of AUT, and load right Add-Ins while invoking Quick Test Pro.
Quick Test Professional - Record & Run Modes
Recording Modes− Normal− Analog− Low level
Run Modes− Normal− Fast− Update
Quick Test Professional - Options General
Best Practices for General Options:− Deselect all check boxes except “Save data for
integrating with performance testing …” and “Display Add-in Manager on startup” which is default setting.
− Click on “Restore Layout” button to reset screens to the initial setting when QuickTest was first installed.
Quick Test Professional - Options Run
Quick Test Professional - Options Run
Best Practices for Options for Run Mode: Run Mode as Normal:
• This ensures that the execution arrow appears to help with trouble shooting the tests.
• Synchronization becomes better for the AUT (Application Under Test)
Test Results: • Deselect the option “View Results when run session ends”
Mercury Tool Integration: • Select "Allow other Mercury products to run tests and
components“
Screen Capture: • Save step screen capture to results "On error and warnings"
Record and Run Settings
Record and Run Settings
Best Practices for Record & Run Settings,− Set the options to configure QTP to "Record and
run test on any open Windows- based application“
− Set the option - This window will appear the first time you click on the Record button in the new test.
− Manually recall this window by selecting Test Record and Run settings
1. What are the default Add-ins in Add-in manager
a. Active x, Web, Visual Basic.
b. .Net, SAP, Oracle.
c. Siebel.
