Software Testing Tutorial

In general matrix addition is defined for two matrices of the same dimensions. The sum of two m × n (pronounced "m by n") matrices A and B, denoted by A + B, is again an m × n matrix computed by adding corresponding elements:

For Example:

I need to add the pairs of entries, and then simplify for the final answer:

The answer is:

Working with Actions in QTP

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

1) Reusable Actions: We can Reusable Action Script in other test. They can be used in the same test script multiple times.

How to create Reusable Actions

By default all Actions are Reusable Actions Only.

ActionàCall to new Action

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

How to create Non Reusable Actions:

ActionàCall to new Actionà check Non Reusable Action

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

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.

2) Call to Existing Action: Call to Actions is read only in the calling test. They can only be modified in the test in which they were created. In Call to Existing Action we can insert only Reusable Actions.

Check Points

Checkpoint: is a method used to check the content before and after the step, i.e. it is used to compare the expected value with the actual value displayed in the application, these checkpoints can be customized according to the requirements.

The checkpoint can be added while recording the application or it can be added after the recording is completed using Active screen (For adding Checkpoint after recording the Active screen must be enabled while recording)

Once the checkpoint is added, the QTP adds a checkpoint to the current row in keyword view and adds a checkpoint statement to the expert view.

The types of checkpoint are,

1)Standard Checkpoint:

The standard checkpoint checks the object property values in an application or a webpage.

It checks objects like Radio buttons, combo boxes, images, Tables, Web page properties, links etc.

The Table checkpoint can be used to check all the values in the table, it can be created by inserting standard checkpoint on the table.

The page checkpoint can also create by inserting standard checkpoint on the object; the page check point can be used to check the time taken to load a webpage.

2)Bitmap Checkpoint:

The Bitmap checkpoint can be used to check an area of a webpage or an application as a bitmap. It checks that particular area by pixel to pixel comparison between actual and expected images.

3)Image Checkpoint:

The Image checkpoint is used to check the properties of an image in the application or a webpage like verifying the selected image source file is correct or not.

The difference between Bitmap checkpoint and Image checkpoint is in Bitmap Checkpoint we can check the images on pixels basis where in Image checkpoint it cannot be done.

4)Text Checkpoint:

The Text checkpoint is used to check the expected text from an application or a web page. It can be a specific region or a small portion of the text displayed.

5)Database Checkpoint:

The Database checkpoint is used to check the database accessed by the application.

This checkpoint creates a query during record time and the database values are stored as the expected values. The same query is executed during run time and the actual & expected values are compared.

6)XML Checkpoint:
The XML checkpoint checks the data content of XML documents in XML files or XML schema related to the webpage.
