Operation on a text File

This is a Sample code for :
Creating a txt file, write data into that file n read data from that file.

code:

Dim fso, MyFile,ts,op,MyFile1
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set MyFile= fso.CreateTextFile("C:\text.txt", True)
MyFile.WriteLine("Last_Name" & " | " & "First_Name" & " | " & "Result") & " " & NewLine
MyFile.WriteLine("---------------------------------") & " " & NewLine
RowCnt=DataTable.GetSheet ("Action1").GetRowCount
For i=1 to RowCnt
DataTable.SetCurrentRow (i)

If DataTable.Value("Result",dtLocalSheet)="FAIL" Then
MyFile.WriteLine (DataTable.Value("Last_Name",dtLocalSheet) &" | " & DataTable.Value("First_Name",dtLocalSheet) &" | " & DataTable.Value("Result",dtLocalSheet)) & " "
MyFile.WriteLine()
end if
Next
MyFile.Close

Set f = fso.GetFile("C:\text.txt")
Set ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(1,-2)
Set MyFile1= fso.CreateTextFile("C:\text1.txt", True)
Do While Not ts.AtEndOfStream
op = op & ts.ReadLine
Loop
MyFile1.WriteLine(op)
ts.Close
MyFile1.close

Alternate to Wait function

Function IOE(ObjectName,mtime)
a=ObjectName.Exist
b=1
while a=0
wait(1)
a=ObjectName.Exist
b = b + 1
if b=mtime then
a=1
end if
wend
End Function

Creating Objects

Creates a new, empty description object in which you can add collection of properties and values in order to specify the description object in place of a test object name in a step.
Syntax
set PropertiesColl = Description.Create
Example
1. set EditDesc = Description.Create()
EditDesc("Name").Value = "userName"
EditDesc("Index").Value = "0"
Browser("Welcome: Mercury").Page("Welcome: Mercury").WebEdit(EditDesc).Set "MyName"
2. 'Define User ID field object
Set oUserID = Description.Create()
oUserID("Class Name").Value = "WebEdit"
oUserID("name").Value = "j_username"

Clicking "webelement" within a cell of WebTable

This we can do more efficiently by using "Programmatic Descriptions" and substituting properties with variables(You can see in KB articles. But once case, I dont know why,"Programmatic Descriptions" did not work for me. Then I workaround by doing the below code :





numWTLen=Browser("Browser").Page("Page").Frame("Frame").WebTable("Table").RowCount

For i=1 to numWTLen

strConfigStatus=Trim(Browser("Browser").Page("Page").Frame("Frame").WebTable("Table").GetCellData(o,3))

If strConfigStatus="Configured" Then 'If this Condition satisfy, then only we are clicking "Web element" within Cell

'Putting Index value dynamically for every row.

DataTable.Value("Index",dtLocalSheet)=i 'Index starts from "0" but my Webtable first row contains Headings, hence i took index starts from "1"

Browser("Browser").Page("Page").Frame("Frame").WebElement("WebElement").Click

Exit For 'Exiting from "For" Loop

End If
Next


Note:Before executing the above code. we have to parameterize the " WebElement("WebElement")"
(right click on WebElement("WebElement") , choose object Properties and select "Parameter radio button").
property Name "Index" to "Local sheet" with Name "Index". And also obviously add "Index" property
to the " WebElement("WebElement")" property list and remove "innertext" property from property
list.

Example: WebElement("WebElement") contails two properties.
1) Name:html Tag Value=some tag
2) Name:Index Value=1

Many a times you may need to interact with text files using QTP. Interaction can be(but not limited to) in the form of reading input from a file, writing output to a file. This post describe in detail "File handling using QTP".
We use FSO object to do this.
What is FSO?
FSO stands for File System Object. This is used to support text file creation and manipulation through the TextStream object and is contained in the Scripting type library (Scrrun.dll)
The FSO Object Model has a rich set of properties, methods and events to process folders and files.
How to create a file?
We first create a FSO object using CreateObject and then create a text file using CreateTextFile.
For Example: Suppose you want to create a file called "test.txt" located in C:

Dim fso, file, file_location
file_location = "C:\file_location"
Set fso = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
Set file = fso.CreateTextFile(file_location, True) // True--> file is to be overwritten if it already exists else false

We would use the same example for the rest of this post.

How to open a file?

Set file= fso.OpenTextFile("C:\file_location", ForWriting, True)
//2nd argument can be ForReading, ForWriting, ForAppending
//3rd argument is "True" if new file has to be created if the specified file doesn’t exist else false, blank signify false.

How to read content from a file?
Use ReadLine() method
For example:

Set file= fso.OpenTextFile("C:\file_location", ForReading, True) //2nd argument should always be "ForReading" in order to read contents from a file
Do while file.AtEndofStream <> True
data = file.ReadLine()
msgbox data
Loop

How to write content to a file?
You can use Write() or WriteLine() Methods to write text into a file. The difference between the Write() and WriteLine() Method is that the latter automatically inserts a new line character while the former doesn’t insert a new line character.
For example:

Set file= fso.OpenTextFile("C:\file_location", ForWriting, True) //2nd argument should always be "ForWriting" in order to write contents to a file
file.Write("This is a place to get all your qtp")
file.Write("questions and answers solved.")
//Output will be:
This is a place to get all your qtp questions and answers solved.
while
file.WriteLine("This is a place to get all your qtp")
file.Write("questions and answers solved.")
//Output will be:
This is a place to get all your qtp
questions and answers solved.

How to delete content?
Use DeleteFile() method to delete a file from a particular location
Foe Example:

file_location = "C:\file_location"
Set fso = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
fso.DeleteFile(file_location)

regular expression in VB Script

A regular expression is a string that describes or matches a set of strings. It is often called a pattern as it describes set of strings.

Given underneath is one of the most widely used and ever confused BackLash character. The remaining expressions are serialized below that.

Using the Backslash Character
A backslash (\) instructs QuickTest to treat the next character as a literal character, if it is otherwise a special character. The backslash (\) can also instruct QuickTest to recognize certain ordinary characters as special characters. For example, QuickTest recognizes \n as the special newline character.
For example:
w matches the character w
\w is a special character that matches any word character including underscore
For example, in QTP, while entering the URL of a website,
http://mercurytours.mercuryinteractive.com
The period would be mistaken as an indication of a regular expression. To indicate that the period is not part of a regular expression, you would enter it as follows:
mercurytours\.mercuryinteractive\.com Note: If a backslash character is used before a character that has no special meaning, the backslash is ignored. For example, \z matches z.

Expressions & Explanation
Special characters and sequences are used in writing patterns for regular expressions. The following describes the characters and sequences that can be used.


\
Marks the next character as either a special character or a literal. For example, "n" matches the character "n". "\n" matches a newline character. The sequence "\\" matches "\" and "\(" matches "(".

^
Matches the beginning of input.

$
Matches the end of input.

*
Matches the preceding character zero or more times. For example, "zo*" matches either "z" or "zoo".

+
Matches the preceding character one or more times. For example, "zo+" matches "zoo" but not "z".

?
Matches the preceding character zero or one time. For example, "a?ve?" matches the "ve" in "never".

.
Matches any single character except a newline character.

(pattern)
Matches pattern and remembers the match. The matched substring can be retrieved from the resulting Matches collection, using Item [0]...[n]. To match parentheses characters ( ), use "\(" or "\)".

xy
Matches either x or y. For example, "zwood" matches "z" or "wood". "(zw)oo" matches "zoo" or "wood".

{n}
n is a nonnegative integer. Matches exactly n times. For example, "o{2}" does not match the "o" in "Bob," but matches the first two o's in "foooood".

{n,}
n is a nonnegative integer. Matches at least n times. For example, "o{2,}" does not match the "o" in "Bob" and matches all the o's in "foooood." "o{1,}" is equivalent to "o+". "o{0,}" is equivalent to "o*".

{n,m}
m and n are nonnegative integers. Matches at least n and at most m times. For example, "o{1,3}" matches the first three o's in "fooooood." "o{0,1}" is equivalent to "o?".

[xyz]
A character set. Matches any one of the enclosed characters. For example, "[abc]" matches the "a" in "plain".

[^xyz]
A negative character set. Matches any character not enclosed. For example, "[^abc]" matches the "p" in "plain".

[a-z]
A range of characters. Matches any character in the specified range. For example, "[a-z]" matches any lowercase alphabetic character in the range "a" through "z".

[^m-z]
A negative range characters. Matches any character not in the specified range. For example, "[m-z]" matches any character not in the range "m" through "z".

\b
Matches a word boundary, that is, the position between a word and a space. For example, "er\b" matches the "er" in "never" but not the "er" in "verb".

\B
Matches a non-word boundary. "ea*r\B" matches the "ear" in "never early".

\d -Matches a digit character. Equivalent to [0-9].

\D - Matches a non-digit character. Equivalent to [^0-9].

\f - Matches a form-feed character.

\n - Matches a newline character.

\r
Matches a carriage return character.

\s
Matches any white space including space, tab, form-feed, etc. Equivalent to "[ \f\n\r\t\v]".

\S
Matches any nonwhite space character. Equivalent to "[^ \f\n\r\t\v]".

\t
Matches a tab character.

\v
Matches a vertical tab character.

\w
Matches any word character including underscore. Equivalent to "[A-Za-z0-9_]".

\W
Matches any non-word character. Equivalent to "[^A-Za-z0-9_]".

\num
Matches num, where num is a positive integer. A reference back to remembered matches. For example, "(.)\1" matches two consecutive identical characters.

\n
Matches n, where n is an octal escape value. Octal escape values must be 1, 2, or 3 digits long. For example, "\11" and "\011" both match a tab character. "\0011" is the equivalent of "\001" & "1". Octal escape values must not exceed 256. If they do, only the first two digits comprise the expression. Allows ASCII codes to be used in regular expressions.

\xn
Matches n, where n is a hexadecimal escape value. Hexadecimal escape values must be exactly two digits long. For example, "\x41" matches "A". "\x041" is equivalent to "\x04" & "1". Allows ASCII codes to be used in regular expressions.

Code optimisation in QTP | Make your QTP scripts perform better

This post refers to a thought provoking question which was asked on Testing Tools forum. In this query jp@QTP is looking for ways to optimize QTP scripts for best performance. Everyone knows we use automated testing tools to optimize our testing process. Unless you make full use of the capability of the tool and unless a tool is used sensibly and with proper planning, it would not yield any results. Just record-and-playback is never the solution for any project. You need to go deep inside to understand the intricacies of any tool. Any software testing tool is only as good as the test engineer using it. On those thoughts, I feel this was one of the best questions asked in the forums of late.
Well, here are some of my tips and tricks to optimize the QTP scripts:

• Launch QTP using a .vbs file and not the QTP desktop icon. You will notice a substantial increase in speed. [Refer the earlier post on How to open QTP using vbs file? ,you just need the 1st point of that post]
• For large tests, always define variables, function in an external .vbs file and not inside a reusable action. Attach these files with your test scripts. If you define a variable or a function in an action, on every iteration of your test run, memory(RAM) will be allocated to those variables/functions and would not be released. Now as your script starts consuming more and more RAM, your System Under Test (SUT) will tend to become slower.
• While running, QTP consumes a lot of memory by itself. It is always advisable to have lots of available RAM( much more than what is recommended by HP) and good processor speed on a system where you intend to install QTP. When you have tests (and hence QTP) running for a prolonged period if time, there are chances of memory leaks. To avoid memory leakage always restart QTP at some intervals of time. Using AOM you can automate this process. [If you want to go into details of effect of RAM on speed of computer read the post on RAM, Memory Usage thoroughly]
• Avoid using hard coded wait(x) statement. Wait statement waits for full x seconds, even if the event has already occurred. Instead use .sync or exist statement. While using exist statement always have a value inside it.

For ex: .Exist(10) Here QTP will wait max till 10 seconds and if it finds the object at (say) 3 secs , it will resume the execution immediately thereby saving your precious time. On the other hand if you leave the parenthesis blank, QTP would wait for object synchronization timeout you have mentioned under File > Test Settings > Run Tab.

• Make full use of what HP-QTP has provided you in the tool IDE. Use “Automatically Generate “With” statements after recording” option present under Tools > Options > General Tab. This will not only make your code look neater but also make your scripts perform better.
• Make your own judgement whether you want to go for Descriptive Programming or Object Repository or mixed approach. Each approach has it own pros and cons that in turn is related to QTP performance.
• Unless absolutely required, uncheck the options “Save still image capture to results” and “Save movie to results” present under Tools > Options > Run tab. These options definitely have some bearing on QTP run time performance.
• Make the Run Mode as “fast”. This setting is present under Tool > Options > Run tab. Note: If you intend to run your scripts from QC no need to worry about this option, as the scripts WILL run in fast mode whether you want or not.
• If you are new to automation or QTP. Read this beginner article on Automation Object Model (AOM). AOM simplifies many aspects of QTP scripting. It can help you in controlling QTP from an external file.

FAQ for QTP | Useful Tips

Sharing some of the useful tips on QTP I used while working and found from sqaforums.I urge the readers to share their experiences/tips they have used while working on QTP. You can use the comments section to do the same.

1) How to add a constant number in a datatable?
This is more to do with MS excel then QTP!! but useful to know because at times it becomes frustrating to the novices.
Just append ' to the number
Ex: if you wish to enter 1234567 in datatable then write it as '1234567

2) How can i check if a parameter exists in DataTable or not?
The best way would be to use the below code:
on error resume next
val=DataTable("ParamName",dtGlobalSheet)
if err.number<> 0 then
'Parameter does not exist
else
'Parameter exists
end if

3) How can i check if a checkpoint passes or not?
chk_PassFail = Browser(...).Page(...).WebEdit(...).Check (Checkpoint("Check1"))
if chk_PassFail then
MsgBox "Check Point passed"
else MsgBox "Check Point failed"
end if

4) My test fails due to checkpoint failing, Can i validate a checkpoint without my test failing due to checpoint failure?
Reporter.Filter = rfDisableAll 'Disables all the reporting stuff
chk_PassFail = Browser(...).Page(...).WebEdit(...).Check (Checkpoint("Check1"))
Reporter.Filter = rfEnableAll 'Enable all the reporting stuff
if chk_PassFail then
MsgBox "Check Point passed"
else
MsgBox "Check Point failed"
end if

5) What is the difference between an Action and a function?
Action is a thing specific to QTP while functions are a generic thing which is a feature of VB Scripting. Action can have a object repository associated with it while a function can't. A function is just lines of code with some/none parameters and a single return value while an action can have more than one output parameters.

6) Where to use function or action?
Well answer depends on the scenario. If you want to use the OR feature then you have to go for Action only. If the functionality is not about any automation script i.e. a function like getting a string between to specific characters, now this is something not specific to QTP and can be done on pure VB Script, so this should be done in a function and not an action. Code specific to QTP can also be put into an function using DP. Decision of using function/action depends on what any one would be comfortable using in a given situation.

7) When to use a Recovery Scenario and when to us on error resume next?
Recovery scenarios are used when you cannot predict at what step the error can occur or when you know that error won't occur in your QTP script but could occur in the world outside QTP, again the example would be "out of paper", as this error is caused by printer device driver. "On error resume next" should be used when you know if an error is expected and dont want to raise it, you may want to have different actions depending upon the error that occurred. Use err.number & err.description to get more details about the error.

8) How to use environment variable?
A simple defintion could be... it is a variable which can be used across the reusable actions and is not limited to one reusable action.
There are two types of environment variables:
1. User-defined
2. Built-in
We can retrieve the value of any environment variable. But we can set the value of only user-defined environment variables.

To set the value of a user-defined environment variable:
Environment (VariableName) = NewValue

To retrieve the value of a loaded environment variable:
CurrValue = Environment (VariableName)

Example
The following example creates a new internal user-defined variable named MyVariable with a value of 10, and then retrieves the variable value and stores it in the MyValue variable.

Environment.Value("MyVariable")=10
MyValue=Environment.Value("MyVariable")

9) What are the files and subfolders of a QuickTest Professional test?

The files and folders hold binary and text data that are required for the test to run successfully.
The following table provides a description, the type, and comments regarding the files that make up a QuickTest Professional test.

File Name	Description	Type	Comments Regarding File
Test.tsp	Test settings	Binary	Do not edit
Default.xls	Data table parameters	Excel similar	Can be edited using Excel
Parameters.mtr	Parameterization information	Binary	Do not edit
Action	Action folder (See other table)

10) How to rename a checkpoint (QTP 9.0)?
Example:
Window("Notepad").WinEditor("Edit").Check CheckPoint("Edit")
In the above example, the user would like to change the name of the CheckPoint object from "Edit" to something more meaningful.
Note:
This functionality is new to QuickTest Professional 9.0.This is not available for QTP 8.2 and below.
1. Right-click on the Checkpoint step in the Keyword View or on the Checkpoint object in Expert View.
2. Select "Checkpoint Properties" from the pop-up menu.
3. In the Name field, enter the new checkpoint name.
4. Click . The name of the checkpoint object will be updated within the script.
Example:
Window("Notepad").WinEditor("Edit").Check CheckPoint("NewCheckPointName")
Note:
You must use the QuickTest Professional user interface to change the name of the checkpoint. If you manually change the name of the checkpoint in the script, QuickTest Professional will generate an error during replay. The error message will be similar to the following:

"The "" CheckPoint object was not found in the Object Repository. Check the Object Repository to confirm that the object exists or to find the correct name for the object."

The CheckPoint object is not a visible object within the object repository, so if you manually modify the name, you may need to recreate the checkpoint to resolve the error.

11) Does QuickTest Professional support Internet Explorer 7.0?

Ways to Launch your application

Four different ways to launch your application are mentioned below:

1) SystemUtil.Run

SystemUtil.Run ( FileName, Parameters, Path, Operation )
FileName - The name of the file you want to run.
Parameters - If the specified FileName is an executable file, use the Parameters argument to specify any parameters to be passed to the application.
Path - The default directory of the application or file.
Operation - The action to be performed. If this argument is blank (""), the open operation is performed.
The following operations can be specified for the operation argument of the SystemUtil.Run method:
open - Opens the file specified by the FileName parameter. The file can be an executable file, a document file, or a folder. Non-executable files are open in the associated application.
edit - Launches an editor and opens the document for editing. If the FileName argument does not specify an editable document file, the statement fails.
explore - Explores the folder specified by the FileName argument.
find - Initiates a search starting from the specified folder path.
print - Prints the document file specified by the FileName argument. If the specified file is not a printable document file, the statement fails.
Example:SystemUtil.Run "D:\My Music\Breathe.mp3","","D:\My Music\Details","open"

2) InvokeApplication

This command is now mainly used for the backward compatability ie to use with the lower versions(below QTP 6.0) of QTP.

InvokeApplication("Full URL as Parameter")
Example:InvokeApplication "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.yahoo.com"

3) VBscript to invoke application

1. Create a "WScript.shell" object.
2. Use the "run" object to launch the application. If the path to your executable contains spaces, use Chr(34) to ensure the path is contained within double quotes.
3. When done, set the shell object to nothing to release it.

Example:
Dim oShellSet oShell = CreateObject ("Wscript.shell")'
Example 1 - run a batch file:oShell.run "F:\jdk1.3.1\demo\jfc\SwingSet2.bat"'
Example 2 - run a Java jar file:oShell.run "java -jar F:\jdk1.3.1\demo\jfc\SwingSet2\SwingSet2.jar"'
Example 3 - launch Internet Explorer:oShell.Run Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" & Chr(34)Set oShell = Nothing

4) Trivial but useful method

If nothing works out you might try this

You can use the Start -> Run dialog of Windows.
1. Add the Windows Start button to the Object Repository using the "Add Objects" button in Object Repository dialog.
2. Open the Run dialog (Start -> Run), and learn the "Open" edit field and the "OK" button into the Object Repository.
3. Switch to the Expert View, and manually add the lines to open the Run dialog.
Example:Window("Window").WinButton("Button").ClickWindow("Window").Type("R")
4. Manually enter the lines to enter the information to launch the application, and click the "OK" button of the Run dialog.

Example:
Dialog("Run").WinEdit("Open:").Type "c:\WINNT\system32\notepad.exe"
Dialog("Run").WinButton("OK").Click

Can we create the window application with VBScipt?

Can we create the window application with VBScipt?

yes: using HTML Application (HTA)

An HTML Application (HTA) is a Microsoft Windows application written with HTML and Dynamic HTML. The ability to write HTAs was introduced with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0.

HTAs can be made from regular HTML files by simply changing the file extension to .hta. A regular HTML file is confined to the security model of the web browser – i.e. to communicating with the server, manipulating the page’s object model (usually to validate forms and / or create interesting visual effects) and reading / writing cookies. An HTA runs as a fully trusted application and therefore has more privileges than a normal HTML file – for example an HTA can create / edit / remove files and registry entries.

To customize the appearance of an HTA, a new tag, with attributes, is introduced: . This tag appears in the …section of an HTA document.

Because an HTA has more privileges than an HTML page, it cannot be executed via http. Rather, the HTA must be downloaded (just like an EXE file) and executed from local file system.

QTP code Generates for a HTML Application

QTP generates the code as similar to the normal web applications, except that it shows window instead of browser

Example: If the HTML Application has a edit box then code will be

Window(..).Webedit(…).set “value”

Sample code :

This example code creates a HTML app with 3 edit boxes.

Name

Address

Phone
