Actions:
I) Actions
are very similar to functions. Except few differences rest of all are same.
II) Action
is a set of logical related statements.
III) Actions
help to divide a lengthy script into smaller script.
IV) Based on
the order in test flow execution of Actions happens sequentially.
v) For every
Action or sub action one Object Repository will create.
How to
insert an Action
ActionàCall to new Action
If two
actions are called from test then those actions are set to be independent
actions.
If two
actions are called within the Action, then those two Actions set to be nested
Actions.
Action is a
collection of VB statements in QTP. It does not return any values.
We can’t call
actions within the functions.
Generally
Actions will save with “.mts “
By default
QTP records all steps into an Action.
Actions can
contain Object Repository, Data Table, and Active Screen etc.
Actions are
two types
1)Reusable Actions
2)Non Reusable Action

same test script multiple times.
How to
create Reusable Actions

2) Non Reusable
Actions: Non Reusable Actions cannot be used in other script. They can be
called the same script only once.

create Non Reusable Actions:

In Actions
there are two methods to import Scripts in to a code. Call to
1) Call to Copy Action
2)Call to Existing Action
2)Call to Existing Action
1) Call to
Copy Action: When we make a copy of an Action the Action is copied in its entirety,
including checkpoints, Parameterization and datatable into calling test. When
we insert a copy of an Existing Action we can able to make changes to the
copied Action. And our changes will not affected by the original script and any
other test. We can insert both Reusable Actions and Non Reusable Actions.
