UFT Class 3: UFT Test Process Part-2
( UFT Test Process Part -2, UFT Tool window Architecture Part-1)
12) Using Automation Objects (VBScript)
a) File System Object
It is used to work with Drives, Folders and files.
i) What is Computer File system?
It is a feature of Operating system used to work with Drives, Folders and files.
ii) Examples for File system Operations
Create a Folder
Copy a Folder
Delete a Folder
Create a Text file
Write data
Read data
Compare data
Search operations
Delete a text file etc…
————————————
iii) How end user performs File system Operations?
End user performs file system operations manually with the help of Input devices
If it is command line OS (Ex: DOS, UNIX) with help of OS Commands
iv) How to perform automatic File system Operations using VbScript?
Using File system object
Syntax for Creating Automation Object:
Set Variable = CreateObject(“Class Value”)
Set -VBScript statement
CreateObject – Built in function of VBScript
Create File System Object:
Set Variable = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
Note: It is only for flat files, but we can create and delete other types files also.
File system object treats them as flat files only.
——————————————————
b) Excel Application Object
It is used to perform operations on Excel Application
Create Excel file
Row count
Read data
Write data
Compare data
Rename sheets
Add sheets
Move sheets etc…
Create Excel Application Object
Set Variable = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)
————————————————
c) Word Application object
It is used to perform operations on word application
Create Word Application Object
Set Variable = CreateObject(“Word.Application”)
—————————————————-
d) Database Objects
1) Database Connection object
It is used to connect to a Database (Any Database)
Note: Connection string varies from one database to another.
Create Database Connection object:
Set Variable = CreateObject(“Adodb.Connection”)
—————————————–
2) Database Recordset object
It is used to perform operations on Database records (Tables)
Create Database Recordset object:
Set Variable = CreateObject(“Adodb.Recordset”)
—————————————–
e) Dictionary object
Dim a(3), b
a(0) = 10
a(1) = 20
It is used to define key, value pairs
Create Dictionary Object
Set Variable = CreateObject(“Scripting.Dictionary”)
—————————–
13) Error Handling
Handling expected and unexpected errors
Expected error:
Whenever we use invalid input, then expected errors
Note: We use Invalid input for negative testing
Unexpected Error:
Availability of Resource
Insufficient Resource
Resource Response
IV) Running (Executing) and Debugging Tests
Debugging is optional but when it is required?
Test is not showing any errors and providing correct output – Not required
Test is showing errors -Optional
Test is not showing any errors and Not providing correct output -Yes
Using VBScript Debug commands and Breakpoints we can debug tests.
Test Run
Single Test Run – Using Run Command
Batch Testing
Using “Test Batch Runner Tool”
Using AOM Script (QTP Application Object)
Using Driver Script (UFT Test)
Using ALM/QC Tool
V) Analyzing Test Results
Test Result for every Test Iteration
Status of Test Result:
Pass (If expected = Actual)
Fail (If expected <> Actual)
Done (Test executed without errors)
(* There are no verification in our test then done status)
Warning (Problems during Test Execution
Define Test Results
UFT Provides Test result for every test iteration if we use UFT
Tool features like checkpoints, output values and transaction points etc…
If user uses own logic (VBScript features) the user need to define test result.
VI) Reporting Defects
Functional Test Automation Defect Management
————————————————————
UFT Manual (Excel sheet…)
———————————————————
UFT Bugzilla, Jira etc…
————————————————————–
UFT ALM
———————————————————-
UFT Test Process
I) Test Planning
II) Generating Basic Tests
III) Enhancing Tests
IV) Running and Debugging Tests
V) Analyzing Test Results
VI) Reporting Defects.
UFT Tool window Architecture
Add in Manager:
During launching UFT shows Add in Manager,
It shows all available Add ins in our company,
Select appropriate add in for our Application,
Note: Do not select unnecessary Add ins, then Tool execution performance will be reduced.
Test Tool AUT
———————
Launch UFT Tool first then AUT,
Note: If we launch AUT first, then UFT may not recognize Application objects.
UFT Tool Editor:
It is an area where we Create/View/Edit a Test or Test Script.
Using UFT Tool editor we can delete one or more statements.
Note: UFT Test is a file, you can delete UFT test file from Hard disk.
It has 2 views
Editor view – Test in VBScript format
Keyword view – Test in GUI format
View are different, but Test is same.
If we perform any modification in one view that automatically reflects in another view.
Switch from Editor to Keyword view:
View menu -> Keyword view
Switch from Keyword view to Editor:
View menu-> Editor
UFT Test / Test Script
Test – One or more Actions to perform a task or tasks
Action – Set of statements to perform a task or tasks
Statement / Step / Instruction – a minimal executable unit
Note: One test may have one or more Actions, if it is simple test use single Action
for lengthy test use multiple Actions.
For re-usability we prefer multiple Actions.
Statement Line
One statement may have one or more lines and vice versa.
Ex:
Two statements in single line
Msgbox “Hello UFT” : Msgbox “Hello VBScript”
One Statement in Two Lines
Msgbox _
“Hello UFT”
Active Screen:
Launch Active Screen
View menu-> Active Screen
It captures and holds screen shot for every user operation on AUT.
Advantage:
Using Active screen we can easily understand and Edit Tests
Disadvantage:
It occupies more memory, reduces Tool execution performance.
Configure Active Screen:
Tools menu-> Options -> GUI Testing ->Active Screen-> Increase/Decrease Capture Level->Ok
Note: This feature is related to Recording only.
