QTP-Stroring Environment Variable In XML File

Objective:Login Action ParameterizationBy the Use of External Environment Variables the issue of Login Actions parameterization could be solved.Using this approach we can concurrently run scripts on different environments.
How it Works:
1. Create AutomaticConfiguration.xml file with two variables namely AdminLogin,UserLogin in Local QTP Installation folder.
2. The Admin and User Login Actions Loads the AutomaticConfiguration.xml file from the above mentioned path.
3. The Login Actions use the Environment variables to Launch the Application.
Steps To Create an XML File:1. Open Notepad.
2. Type ENVIRONMENT on the first line (in opening and closing angular brackets)
3. Type each variable name-value pair within variable elements in the following format:
For example, your environment variables file may look like this:

4. Save the file as AutomaticConfiguration.xml in quicktest install folder(\program Files\MercuryInteractive\QuickTestProfessional) in your Local Machine.
You are done buddy. If you have any question or comments, please feel free to write at raghavendra.hosur@gmail.com or sachin.vasudha@gmail.com

Why to do Software Testing?

Regardless of the limitations, testing is an integral part in software development. It is broadly deployed in every phase in the software development cycle. Typically, more than 50% percent of the development time is spent in testing. Testing is usually performed for the following purposes: To improve quality. As computers and software are used in critical applications, the outcome of a bug can be severe. Bugs can cause huge losses. Bugs in critical systems have caused airplane crashes, allowed space shuttle missions to go awry, halted trading on the stock market, and worse. Bugs can kill. Bugs can cause disasters. The so-called year 2000 (Y2K) bug has given birth to a cottage industry of consultants and programming tools dedicated to making sure the modern world doesn't come to a screeching halt on the first day of the next century. [Bugs] In a computerized embedded world, the quality and reliability of software is a matter of life and death. Quality means the conformance to the ...

HP Quality Center - Best Practices

1.Introduction Quality Center is a test management tool which provides very good features for managing both your manual and automated test cases. This paper highlights the best practices for managing your test cases. When you open Quality center, depending on your rights it display the below mentioned option in the sidebar: 1. Requirements 2. Test Plan 3. Test Lab 4. Defects 5. Dashboard 2.Requirements When you have assigned with the responsibility of developing your test cases in the quality center then you must be wondering where to start with. I am going to share my experience to overcome such a situation. You need to find the solution of some question before you start writing your test cases. 1. Is your requirement developed and available? 2. Is your requirement organized in a logical sequence? If answer to both of the above question is Yes, then you can start with Requirement option in the side bar. In case your requirement is under development, then you keep your...

ABC of Unit Testing

What is Unit Testing? After writing any code, every programmer will do some kind of testing to make sure the code works as expected. This testing is called 'unit testing'. Unit testing is done in different ways. Some programmers write simple test applications to test their own code. Some others simply debug the code and change the values during debugging to make sure the code works fine for different cases. Some facts about unit testing: Unit testing is done by developers. Quality department does different tests, they are not unit tests. Every programmer must do unit testing after finishing development or during development itself. Unit testing can be done by writing separate test applications to call your classes and methods to make sure the classes work as expected. This is called manual unit testing. Unit testing can be automated by writing unit test scripts. This is called Automated Unit Testing. In automated Unit Testing, after writing each class/method, you will write sev...
