QTP/UFT Tutorial

Introduction to QTP/UFT

Quick Test Professional (QTP), now known as Unified Functional Testing (UFT), is an automated testing tool developed by Micro Focus. It is primarily used for functional and regression testing of software applications. UFT supports a variety of programming languages and platforms, making it a versatile choice for testers.

Installation of UFT

To install UFT, follow these steps:

  1. Download the UFT installation package from the Micro Focus website.
  2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. Enter the license key when prompted.
  4. Complete the installation and restart your machine if required.

Creating Your First Test

Once UFT is installed, you can create your first test by following these steps:

  1. Open UFT and select File > New > Test.
  2. Choose the type of test you want to create (GUI or API).
  3. Click on Record to start recording your actions.
  4. Perform the actions you want to automate in the application.
  5. Stop the recording and save your test.

Example:

To open a web application:

SystemUtil.Run "iexplore.exe", "http://www.example.com"

Understanding the UFT Interface

The UFT interface consists of several key components:

  • Test Flow: Displays the sequence of actions in your test.
  • Keyword View: Allows for keyword-driven testing.
  • Expert View: Provides access to the VBScript code behind your test.
  • Object Repository: Stores objects that your test interacts with.

Object Identification

UFT identifies objects in the application under test using a unique description. You can add objects to the Object Repository and define their properties for identification.

Example:

Adding an object to the Object Repository:

Browser("title:=Google").Page("title:=Google").WebEdit("name:=q")

Parameterization

Parameterization allows you to run the same test with different data sets. This is essential for data-driven testing.

Example:

Using parameterization to input different values:

Browser("title:=Google").Page("title:=Google").WebEdit("name:=q").Set DataTable("SearchTerm", dtGlobalSheet)

Running Tests

To run your tests, you can simply click on the Run button in the UFT interface. The results of the test will be displayed in the Test Results window, where you can analyze any failures or errors.

Conclusion

UFT is a powerful tool for automated testing, providing flexibility and support for various applications and technologies. By mastering UFT, you can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your testing processes.
