Easy way to automate testing

Hi Dmitry Motevich,
Thanks a lot for ur videos. those are great for a starter like me. Ur blog site gives us lot of information n increases our knowledge in QTP.
A request please load the videos in a format so that we can download easily.
Please focus on Regular Expressions and Descriptive Programming a bit.
Thanks & Regards
Sheshadri

Thank you, Shashi, for your comment.

I have several questions on your request:
What video format do you ask?
What file server should I use to store video files?
Who will pay for this file server usage & big generated traffic?

I'm working on video tutorial about Descriptive Programming. So, it will be ready in 1 week.

As for Regular Expressions... This topic is explained on Internet widely. I do not plan to duplicate those articles.

hi

The code for QTP regarding running the script from commandling was very excellent . Can you please concentrate regarding the driver script and Recovery scenarios in the driver script. And how to connect and execute QTP Scripts from QC. Please be a little bit elaborate on this issue.

Any Help in this issue is highly appreciated.

Regards,
Vinesh.

Hi

Thanks for presenting such good contents on your blog. The content posted by you is very excellent. In further postings from your side we expect you to post postings related to Recovery scenarios and developing the driver script and running the QTP script from Quality center and posting the results back to Quality Center.

Satyam Reddy

Thanks very much it was very useful.

2Khizer:
I'm glad to hear that!

Dear Dmitry,

It's wonderful video, but if you capture some more stuff such as how to capture checkpoint value, descriptive programming examples, parameterize value set up and merge two different scripts by function call that would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Nice job!! keep it up.

2Deven:
Thank you.
I will try to create QTP videos on others topics

Dmitry,
Thanks for this video,
This is very easy to understand.
I have a request: I am focusing on automating using QTP on a VMware image, The test application is written using Visual C++ and "Windows XP" running on VMware Do you have any details, whether QTP identifies Windows XP image? Please let me know.

2Sukanya:
What do you mean with "QTP identifies Windows XP image"?
What is "Windows XP image"?

Dmitry,
"Windows XP Image" is is the VMware supported file, (files of format .vmx), If this is opened using VMware, it works as virtual computer with windows xp installed in it.
Thanks,

2sukanya:
You didn't answer my another question.

Hey Dmitry...firstly I have to appreciate the time and effort you have taken to share your knowledge....you are doing a great job helping the community...keep it up !!!

2George:
Thank you, George.

hello,

Thanks you for the video. I use the command line to run my QTP tests using vbscript, however i would like to know if it's possible to run QTP tests with another language like Python...

Thanks. Your blog is very interesting.

The QuickTest automation object model supplies a type library file
named QTObjectModel.dll. This file is stored in 'QuickTest installation folder'\bin.

So, you can access QTP Automation COM object from different programming language. I'm sure that Python provides such possibilities.

Hi Dmitry,

This Video is preety good. Thanks for your effort. But if you will attach the Liberary Function files and Excel sheets to the script then do we need to write any mode code for the executing it?

please let me know for the same.

I didn't get you at all.

What "Liberary Function files and Excel sheet" do you mean?
What is "mode code"?

How do I set up a parameter in the command line and get the parameter in VBScript?

I would like to set up some parameters to make the QTP Test run in different way.
How do I set up the parameters in the command line and how do I retrieve the parameters in the VBScript?

Many thanks for your replying.

Bset Regards,
Vincent

It was nice script

would like something that runs the same way on a remote machine ..is it possible ?

Hi Dmitry,
First of all...thank you for the time and effort you have put in...

when I run your script I get the following error:
Error: The server process could not be started because the configured identity is incorrect. Check the username and password.
Code: 8000401A

Any ideas how to solve it?

Answered above.
It's a pity that you didn't read above comments...

HiDimitry,
the script closes the test but keeps the QTP application open. Could you please tell how you can close the application. cos my results are saved in a location and i can go visit them.

Hi,
GREAT video, how do you schedule the task now?

Great Video!
Now how do you schedule the task? Do you run the vbs file from the scheduled task on windows?

Excellent!! You truly are an expert with this tool. I will always use this blog for all my QTP related queries. Thank you very much.

Hi Dimitry

I was wondering how would I be able to open Tests that are not stored locally on my machine, e.g Test Director and Quality Center
