Automation framework is a process to develop the automation scripts and reduce maintenance. This framework completely depends on the application, types of testing and tools that you are using. Its hard to provide generalised framework for all applications:
In general,
1) Create reusable scripts
2) Create modular scripts and drive scripts from external data.
How to parameterize checkpoint ?
Insert the checkpoint and right click on the checkpoint statemnt and then select checkpoint properties option,checkpoint properties dialog box will be opened.
Select the property which u want to parameterize and check the parameter radiobutton.Click on parameter options button and select relevant options and enter the parameter name and click on ok. Finally click on ok button.
RE: What is the difference between Call to Action and Copy Action.? <
________________________________________
when u insert a call to action,they r read only in the calling test.It can be modified in the original test.where as come to copy action,you can make changes to the copied action,your changes will not effect the original action where it created.
Discuss QTP Environment.
It contains the following key elements:
Title bar, displaying the name of the currently open test
Menu bar, displaying menus of QuickTest commands
File toolbar, containing buttons to assist you in managing tests
Test toolbar, containing buttons used while creating and maintaining tests
Debug toolbar, containing buttons used while debugging tests.
Note: The Debug toolbar is not displayed when you open QuickTest for the first time.
You can display the Debug toolbar by choosing View > Toolbars > Debug. Note that this tutorial does not describe how to debug a test. For additional information, refer to the QuickTest Professional User's Guide.
Action toolbar, containing buttons and a list of actions, enabling you to view the details of an individual action or the entire test flow.
Note: The Action toolbar is not displayed when you open QuickTest for the first time. You can display the Action toolbar by choosing View > Toolbars > Action. If you insert a reusable or external action in a test, the Action toolbar is displayed automatically. For additional information, refer to the QuickTest Professional User's Guide.
Test pane, containing two tabs to view your test-the Tree View and the Expert View
Test Details pane, containing the Active Screen
Data Table, containing two tabs, Global and Action, to assist you in parameterizing your test
Debug Viewer pane, containing three tabs to assist you in debugging your test-Watch Expressions, Variables, and Command. (The Debug Viewer pane can be opened only when a test run pauses at a breakpoint.)
Status bar, displaying the status of the test
What are the repositories in QTP
In Qtp there are 2 object repositories, they are1.Shared Object Repository2.Per Action Mode,by default it's per action mode.we will use shared OR for calling a particular action,it's like calling external libraries.we will use per action for a particular action ie, for one action only.
have you ever written a compiled module? If yes tell me about some of the f unction
________________________________________
I Used the functions for Capturing the dynamic data during runtime. Function used for Capturing Desktop, browser and pages.
What is the difference between check point and output value.
Check point is a verification point that compares a current value for a specified property with the expected value for that property.
An outPut value is a value captured during the test run and entered in the run-time
How the exception handling can be done using QTP
It can be done Using the Recovery Scenario Manager which provides a wizard that gudies you through the process of defining a recovery scenario.
FYI.. The wizard could be accesed in QTP> Tools-> Recovery Scenario Manager .......
Recovery scenario manager provides a wizard that guides you through the defining recovery scenario. Recovery scenario has three steps
1. Triggered Events
2. Recovery steps
3. Post Recovery Test-Run
How many types of Actions are there in QTP?
Types of Action:
1. reusable
2.non-reusable
3.nested
4.split
There are three kinds of actions:
non-reusable action—an action that can be called only in the test with which it is stored, and can be called only once.
reusable action—an action that can be called multiple times by the test with which it is stored (the local test) as well as by other tests.
external action—a reusable action stored with another test. External actions are read-only in the calling test, but you can choose to use a local, editable copy of the Data Table information for the external action
QTP structured by actions.actions are subprocedures which perform certain actions on application under test.
there are 2 types of actions
regular actions(non reusable actions)
reusable actions
regular actions:regular actions are used only in the script in which they were genarated.and only once.regular actions are like winrunner script.
reusable actions:actions that can be called by other actions.either(regular or reusable).
we have two types of reusable actions
external reusable actions
internal reusable actions
external reusable actions:these actions were created in another test as internal actions .and called by the given test.
internal reusable actions:these actions were created and used in the given test with in the local scope.
How do you data drive an external spreadsheet?
Import from External Spreadsheet File by selecting Import then From File . Which imports a tabbed text file or a single sheet from an existing Microsoft Excel file into the table. The sheet you import replaces all data in the currently selected sheet of the table, and the first row in the Excel sheet replaces the column headers in the corresponding Data Table sheet. It is therefore essential that the first row of your Microsoft Excel sheet exactly matches the parameter names in your test.
If it is a Database instead of Spreadsheet by selecting Import then From Database. It imports data from the specified database to the current sheet
I want to open a Notepad window without recording a test and I do not want to use SystemUtil.Run command as well How do I do this?
1.insert->step->step generator->select a function invokeapplication,mention the path to notepad.exe file.
Run.
2.otherwise in Expert view write a builtin funtion
invokeapplication"c:/whatever the path"
Run
Choosing the Recording Mode
QuickTest's normal recording mode records the objects in your application and the operations performed on them. This mode is the default and takes full advantage of QuickTest's test object model, recognizing the objects in your application regardless of their location on the screen.
When working with specific types of objects or operations, however, you may want to choose from the following, alternative recording modes:
Analog Recording—enables you to record the exact mouse and keyboard operations you perform in relation to either the screen or the application window. In this recording mode, QuickTest records and tracks every movement of the mouse as you drag the mouse around a screen or window.
This mode is useful for recording operations that cannot be recorded at the level of an object, for example, recording a signature produced by dragging the mouse.
Note: You cannot edit analog recording steps from within QuickTest.
Low-Level Recording—enables you to record on any object in your application, whether or not QuickTest recognizes the specific object or the specific operation. This mode records at the object level and records all run-time objects as Window or WinObject test objects. Use low-level recording for recording in an environment or on an object not recognized by QuickTest. You can also use low-level recording if the exact coordinates of the object are important for your test or component.
Note: Steps recorded using low-level mode may not run correctly on all objects.

2)In order to fetch test data from Database we have to create a adobdb connection object to connect with data base. the syntax is .... >CreateObject("Adodb.connection").
How to add run-time parameter to a datasheet?
1. enter the data in data sheet(global/action).
2.right click on actionbutton it showing all possible codition.
3. choose run all Iteration row by row. in Qtp8.2
just choose optiones and run
When do we use regular expression EXAMPLE
When it is dynamic we use regular exp…..
for the date format "dd/mm/yyyy" the equivalent regular expression would be
Set regExp_Term = New RegExp
regExp_Term.pattern = "11/11/1981"
validation=regExp_Term.test("date to be validated")
if validation="True" Then
-----------------
End If
We can use Regular Expression where ever required, like in my Web Testing, my browser name changes oftnely, so I used Regular expression in Name property like...
Set Browser= (Title:=Browser.*)

How you write scripts in QTP? What's the main process in QTP? How do you run scripts in QTP?
Main process in QTP is Recording, stores the properties in object repository then Running the script and then Test Results.
Recording: QTP 'looks' at the object on which we are recording and stores it as a test object, determining in which test object class it fits like standard window dialog box or web button etc. Then for each test object class, QTP has list of mandatory properties that it always learns. When we record an object, QTP learns these default property values, and then 'looks' at the rest of the objects in the page , to distinguish and identify the object uniquely.If not it adds assistive properties , one ny one, to the description, until it has compiled a unique description.If no assistive properties are not available , it adds a special 'ordinal identifier' such as objects location on the screen.
Running the scripts: While running the script, QTP searches for a run time object that exactly matches the description of the test object it learned while recording. If it is not matching, QTP uses ' smart identification' mechanism to identify the object.
We can run the scripts from Test>Run
After running the script we can see the Test Results also .
How to make QTP to recognise the activeX controls
QuickTest records and runs steps on ActiveX controls as it does on any other object.
Using the Insert>Step Option , we can activate ActiveX control methods, retrieve and set the values of properties and check the object exists.
It is recommended that to begin recording session before opening the application containing the ActiveX controls on which you want to record

1. 1. What are the Features & Benefits of Quick Test Pro(QTP)..?
1. Key word driven testing
2. Suitable for both client server and web based application
3. Vb script as the script language
4. Better error handling mechanism
5. Excellent data driven testing features
2. Where can I get Quick Test pro(QTP Pro) software.. This is Just for Information purpose only.
Introduction to QuickTest Professional 8.0, Computer Based Training: Please find the step to get QuickTest Professional 8.0 CBT Step by Step Tutorial and Evaluation copy of the software. The full CBT is 162 MB. You will have to create account to be able to download evaluation copies of CBT and Software.
3. How to handle the exceptions using recovery scenario manager in Qtp?
You can instruct QTP to recover unexpected events or errors that occurred in your testing environment during test run. Recovery scenario manager provides a wizard that guides you through the defining recovery scenario. Recovery scenario has three steps
1. Triggered Events
2. Recovery steps
3. Post Recovery Test-Run
3. How to handle the exceptions using recovery secnario manager in Qtp?
You can instruct QTP to recover unexpected events or errors that occured in your testing environment during test run. Recovery scenario manager provides a wizard that guides you through the defining recovery scenario. Recovery scenario has three steps
1. Triggered Events
2. Recovery steps
3. Post Recovery Test-Run
4. What is the use of Text output value in Qtp?
Output values enable to view the values that the application takes during run time. When parameterized, the values change for each iteration. Thus by creating output values, we can capture the values that the application takes for each run and output them to the data table.
5. How to use the Object spy in QTP 8.0 version?
There are two ways to Spy the objects in QTP
1) thru file toolbar
—In the File Toolbar click on the last toolbar button (an icon showing a person with hat).
2) Thru Object repository Dialog
—In Objectrepository dialog click on the button” object spy…”
In the Object spy Dialog click on the button showing hand symbol.
the pointer now changes in to a hand symbol and we have to point out the object to spy the state of the object
if at all the object is not visible..or window is minimised then Hold the Ctrl button and activate the required window to and release the Ctrl button.
6. What is the file extension of the code file & object repository file in QTP?
File extension of
– Per test object rep :- filename.mtr
– Shared object rep :- filename.tsr
Code file extension id script.mts
7. Explain the concept of object repository & how QTP recognises objects?
Object Repository: displays a tree of all objects in the current component or in the current action or entire test( depending on the object repository mode you selected).
we can view or modify the test object description of any test object in the repository or to add new objects to the repository.
Quicktest learns the default property values and determines in which test object class it fits. If it is not enough it adds assistive properties, one by one to the description until it has compiled the unique description. If no assistive properties are available, then it adds a special Ordinal identifier such as objects location on the page or in the source code.
8. What are the properties you would use for identifying a browser & page when using descriptive programming ?
“name” would be another property apart from “title” that we can use.
OR
We can also use the property “micClass”.
ex: Browser(”micClass:=browser”).page(”micClass:=page”)….
9. What are the different scripting languages you could use when working with QTP ?
Visual Basic (VB),XML,JavaScript,Java,HTML
10. Give me an example where you have used a COM interface in your QTP project?
11. Few basic questions on commonly used Excel VBA functions.
common functions are:
Coloring the cell
Auto fit cell
setting navigation from link in one cell to other
saving
12. Explain the keyword createobject with an example.
Creates and returns a reference to an Automation object
syntax: CreateObject(servername.typename [, location])
Arguments
servername:Required. The name of the application providing the object.
typename : Required. The type or class of the object to create.
location : Optional. The name of the network server where the object is to be created.
13. Explain in brief about the QTP Automation Object Model.
Essentially all configuration and run functionality provided via the QuickTest interface is in some way represented in the QuickTest automation object model via objects, methods, and properties. Although a one-on-one comparison cannot always be made, most dialog boxes in QuickTest have a corresponding automation object, most options in dialog boxes can be set and/or retrieved using the corresponding object property, and most menu commands and other operations have corresponding automation methods. You can use the objects, methods, and properties exposed by the QuickTest automation object model, along with standard programming elements such as loops and conditional statements to design your program.
14. How to handle dynamic objects in QTP?
QTP has a unique feature called Smart Object Identification/recognition. QTP generally identifies an object by matching its test object and run time object properties. QTP may fail to recognise the dynamic objects whose properties change during run time. Hence it has an option of enabling Smart Identification, wherein it can identify the objects even if their properties changes during run time.
Check this out-
If QuickTest is unable to find any object that matches the recorded object description, or if it finds more than one object that fits the description, then QuickTest ignores the recorded description, and uses the Smart Identification mechanism to try to identify the object.
While the Smart Identification mechanism is more complex, it is more flexible, and thus, if configured logically, a Smart Identification definition can probably help QuickTest identify an object, if it is present, even when the recorded description fails.
The Smart Identification mechanism uses two types of properties:
Base filter properties—The most fundamental properties of a particular test object class; those whose values cannot be changed without changing the essence of the original object. For example, if a Web link’s tag was changed from to any other value, you could no longer call it the same object. Optional filter properties—Other properties that can help identify objects of a particular class as they are unlikely to change on a regular basis, but which can be ignored if they are no longer applicable.
15. What is a Run-Time Data Table? Where can I find and view this table?
In QTP, there is data table used , which is used at runtime.
-In QTP, select the option View->Data table.
-This is basically an excel file, which is stored in the folder of the test created, its name is Default.xls by default.
16. How does Parameterization and Data-Driving relate to each other in QTP?
To datadrive we have to parameterize.i.e. we have to make the constant value as parameter, so that in each iteraration(cycle) it takes a value that is supplied in run-time datatable. Through parameterization only we can drive a transaction(action) with different sets of data. You know running the script with the same set of data several times is not suggestable, & it’s also of no use.
17. What is the difference between Call to Action and Copy Action.?
Call to Action : The changes made in Call to Action , will be reflected in the original action( from where the script is called).But where as in Copy Action , the changes made in the script ,will not effect the original script(Action)
18. Discuss QTP Environment.
QuickTest Pro environment using the graphical interface and ActiveScreen technologies - A testing process for creating test scripts, relating manual test requirements to automated verification features - Data driving to use several sets of data using one test script.
19. Explain the concept of how QTP identifies object.
During recording qtp looks at the object and stores it as test object. For each test object QT learns a set of default properties called mandatory properties, and look at the rest of the objects to check whether this properties are enough to uniquely identify the object. During test run,QT searches for the run time objects that matches with the test object it learned while recording.
20. Differentiate the two Object Repository Types of QTP.
Object repository is used to store all the objects in the application being tested.2 types of oject repository per action and shared. In shared repository only one centralized repository for all the tests. where as in per action. for each test a separate per action repository is created.
21. What the differences are and best practical application of each.
Per Action: For Each Action, one Object Repository is created.
Shared : One Object Repository is used by entire application
22. Explain what the difference between Shared Repository and Per_Action Repository
Shared Repository: Entire application uses one Object Repository, that similar to Global GUI Map file in WinRunner
Per Action: For each Action, one Object Repository is created, like GUI map file per test in WinRunner
23. Have you ever written a compiled module? If yes tell me about some of the functions that you wrote.
I Used the functions for Capturing the dynamic data during runtime. Function used for Capturing Desktop, browser and pages.
24. What projects have you used WinRunner on? Tell me about some of the challenges that arose and how you handled them.
pbs :WR fails to identify the object in gui. If there is a non std window obk wr cannot recognize it ,we use GUI SPY for that to handle such situation.
25. Can you do more than just capture and playback?
I have done Dynamically capturing the objects during runtime in which no recording, no playback and no use of repository is done AT ALL.
-It was done by the windows scripting using the DOM(Document Object Model) of the windows.
26. How long have you used the product?
27. How to do the scripting. Is there any inbuilt functions in QTP as in QTP-S. Whatz the difference between them? how to handle script issues?
Yes, there’s an in-built functionality called “Step Generator” in Insert->Step->Step Generator -F7, which will generate the scripts as u enter the appropriate steps.
28. What is the difference between check point and output value.
An output value is a value captured during the test run and entered in the run-time but to a specified location.
EX:-Location in Data Table[Global sheet / local sheet]
29. IF we use batch testing.the result shown for last action only.in that how can i get result for every action.
u can click on the icon in the tree view to view the result of every action
30. How the exception handling can be done using QTP
It can be done Using the Recovery Scenario Manager which provides a wizard that goodies you through the process of defining a recovery scenario. FYI.. The wizard could be accessed in QTP> Tools-> Recovery Scenario Manager …….
31. How do you test siebel application using qtp?
32. How many types of Actions are there in QTP?
There are three kinds of actions:
non-reusable action—an action that can be called only in the test with which it is stored, and can be called only once.
reusable action—an action that can be called multiple times by the test with which it is stored (the local test) as well as by other tests.
external action—a reusable action stored with another test. External actions are read-only in the calling test, but you can choose to use a local, editable copy of the Data Table information for the external action.
33. How do you data drive an external spreadsheet?
34. I want to open a Notepad window without recording a test and I do not want to use SystemUtil.Run command as well how do I do this?
U can still make the notepad open without using the record or System utility script, just by mentioning the path of the notepad “( i.e., where the notepad.exe is stored in the system) in the “Windows Applications Tab” of the “Record and Run Settings window. Try it out. All the Best.

In the Object spy Dialog click on the button showing hand symbol.
the pointer now changes in to a hand symbol and we have to point out the object to spy the state of the object
if at all the object is not visible..or window is minimised then Hold the Ctrl button and activate the required window to and release the Ctrl button.
6. What is the file extension of the code file & object repository file in QTP?
File extension of
– Per test object rep :- filename.mtr
– Shared object rep :- filename.tsr
Code file extension id script.mts
7. Explain the concept of object repository & how QTP recognises objects?
Object Repository: displays a tree of all objects in the current component or in the current action or entire test( depending on the object repository mode you selected).
we can view or modify the test object description of any test object in the repository or to add new objects to the repository.
Quicktest learns the default property values and determines in which test object class it fits. If it is not enough it adds assistive properties, one by one to the description until it has compiled the unique description. If no assistive properties are available, then it adds a special Ordinal identifier such as objects location on the page or in the source code.
8. What are the properties you would use for identifying a browser & page when using descriptive programming ?
“name” would be another property apart from “title” that we can use.
OR
We can also use the property “micClass”.
ex: Browser(”micClass:=browser”).page(”micClass:=page”)….
9. What are the different scripting languages you could use when working with QTP ?
Visual Basic (VB),XML,JavaScript,Java,HTML
10. Give me an example where you have used a COM interface in your QTP project?
11. Few basic questions on commonly used Excel VBA functions.
common functions are:
Coloring the cell
Auto fit cell
setting navigation from link in one cell to other
saving
12. Explain the keyword createobject with an example.
Creates and returns a reference to an Automation object
syntax: CreateObject(servername.typename [, location])
Arguments
servername:Required. The name of the application providing the object.
typename : Required. The type or class of the object to create.
location : Optional. The name of the network server where the object is to be created.
13. Explain in brief about the QTP Automation Object Model.
Essentially all configuration and run functionality provided via the QuickTest interface is in some way represented in the QuickTest automation object model via objects, methods, and properties. Although a one-on-one comparison cannot always be made, most dialog boxes in QuickTest have a corresponding automation object, most options in dialog boxes can be set and/or retrieved using the corresponding object property, and most menu commands and other operations have corresponding automation methods. You can use the objects, methods, and properties exposed by the QuickTest automation object model, along with standard programming elements such as loops and conditional statements to design your program.
14. How to handle dynamic objects in QTP?
QTP has a unique feature called Smart Object Identification/recognition. QTP generally identifies an object by matching its test object and run time object properties. QTP may fail to recognise the dynamic objects whose properties change during run time. Hence it has an option of enabling Smart Identification, wherein it can identify the objects even if their properties changes during run time.
Check this out-
If QuickTest is unable to find any object that matches the recorded object description, or if it finds more than one object that fits the description, then QuickTest ignores the recorded description, and uses the Smart Identification mechanism to try to identify the object.
While the Smart Identification mechanism is more complex, it is more flexible, and thus, if configured logically, a Smart Identification definition can probably help QuickTest identify an object, if it is present, even when the recorded description fails.
The Smart Identification mechanism uses two types of properties:
Base filter properties—The most fundamental properties of a particular test object class; those whose values cannot be changed without changing the essence of the original object. For example, if a Web link’s tag was changed from to any other value, you could no longer call it the same object. Optional filter properties—Other properties that can help identify objects of a particular class as they are unlikely to change on a regular basis, but which can be ignored if they are no longer applicable.
15. What is a Run-Time Data Table? Where can I find and view this table?
In QTP, there is data table used , which is used at runtime.
-In QTP, select the option View->Data table.
-This is basically an excel file, which is stored in the folder of the test created, its name is Default.xls by default.
16. How does Parameterization and Data-Driving relate to each other in QTP?
To datadrive we have to parameterize.i.e. we have to make the constant value as parameter, so that in each iteraration(cycle) it takes a value that is supplied in run-time datatable. Through parameterization only we can drive a transaction(action) with different sets of data. You know running the script with the same set of data several times is not suggestable, & it’s also of no use.
17. What is the difference between Call to Action and Copy Action.?
Call to Action : The changes made in Call to Action , will be reflected in the original action( from where the script is called).But where as in Copy Action , the changes made in the script ,will not effect the original script(Action)
18. Discuss QTP Environment.
QuickTest Pro environment using the graphical interface and ActiveScreen technologies - A testing process for creating test scripts, relating manual test requirements to automated verification features - Data driving to use several sets of data using one test script.
19. Explain the concept of how QTP identifies object.
During recording qtp looks at the object and stores it as test object. For each test object QT learns a set of default properties called mandatory properties, and look at the rest of the objects to check whether this properties are enough to uniquely identify the object. During test run,QT searches for the run time objects that matches with the test object it learned while recording.
20. Differentiate the two Object Repository Types of QTP.
Object repository is used to store all the objects in the application being tested.2 types of oject repository per action and shared. In shared repository only one centralized repository for all the tests. where as in per action. for each test a separate per action repository is created.
21. What the differences are and best practical application of each.
Per Action: For Each Action, one Object Repository is created.
Shared : One Object Repository is used by entire application
22. Explain what the difference between Shared Repository and Per_Action Repository
Shared Repository: Entire application uses one Object Repository, that similar to Global GUI Map file in WinRunner
Per Action: For each Action, one Object Repository is created, like GUI map file per test in WinRunner
23. Have you ever written a compiled module? If yes tell me about some of the functions that you wrote.
I Used the functions for Capturing the dynamic data during runtime. Function used for Capturing Desktop, browser and pages.
24. What projects have you used WinRunner on? Tell me about some of the challenges that arose and how you handled them.
pbs :WR fails to identify the object in gui. If there is a non std window obk wr cannot recognize it ,we use GUI SPY for that to handle such situation.
25. Can you do more than just capture and playback?
I have done Dynamically capturing the objects during runtime in which no recording, no playback and no use of repository is done AT ALL.
-It was done by the windows scripting using the DOM(Document Object Model) of the windows.
26. How long have you used the product?
27. How to do the scripting. Is there any inbuilt functions in QTP as in QTP-S. Whatz the difference between them? how to handle script issues?
Yes, there’s an in-built functionality called “Step Generator” in Insert->Step->Step Generator -F7, which will generate the scripts as u enter the appropriate steps.
28. What is the difference between check point and output value.
An output value is a value captured during the test run and entered in the run-time but to a specified location.
EX:-Location in Data Table[Global sheet / local sheet]
29. IF we use batch testing.the result shown for last action only.in that how can i get result for every action.
u can click on the icon in the tree view to view the result of every action
30. How the exception handling can be done using QTP
It can be done Using the Recovery Scenario Manager which provides a wizard that goodies you through the process of defining a recovery scenario. FYI.. The wizard could be accessed in QTP> Tools-> Recovery Scenario Manager …….
31. How do you test siebel application using qtp?
32. How many types of Actions are there in QTP?
There are three kinds of actions:
non-reusable action—an action that can be called only in the test with which it is stored, and can be called only once.
reusable action—an action that can be called multiple times by the test with which it is stored (the local test) as well as by other tests.
external action—a reusable action stored with another test. External actions are read-only in the calling test, but you can choose to use a local, editable copy of the Data Table information for the external action.
33. How do you data drive an external spreadsheet?
34. I want to open a Notepad window without recording a test and I do not want to use SystemUtil.Run command as well how do I do this?
U can still make the notepad open without using the record or System utility script, just by mentioning the path of the notepad “( i.e., where the notepad.exe is stored in the system) in the “Windows Applications Tab” of the “Record and Run Settings window. Try it out. All the Best.
