Easy way to automate testing

Hi,

In this case you have some part of text is fixed and some part is variable...

How do you deal with some text that is completely dynamic.

Which reg expression that matches with country names or a random name?

How to handle such things in QTP?

Now you will need to explain what is "\(\d+\)"
:)))

Do you really think, if you explain to that guy how to solve a problem in details, it will help him?

2Shrini Kulkarni,
If your links are completely different (for example, they are country names), so you can use others properties to identify Link in Object Repository.

For example, instead of 'text' property you can use 'Index' or 'Location' propties. Or mayby 'href' if possible, and so on. Also, you can select coordinates, but I wouldn't recommend it :)

The idea is simple - you should select something unique to identify the object on Web page.

2Roman,
At least, I think that this video is more useful that the simple answer for all questions - "RTFM" (Read This F**king Manual) :)

Dmitry...Having knowledge is something..but sharing is Divine..Thank you.

SubZero,
Thank you!
I'm glad that you found this video useful.

This does not work if I delete all drafts(zero drafts).does digit d start form 0 or 1

Exactly! It won't work because the regular expression is
Drafts (\d+).

If you want to process all number of Drafts including zero, you can use for example:
Drafts.*
or
(Drafts|Drafts (\d+))
(do not forget to add backslashes)

Hi Shrini,

Grate job..

Very long :)

I've been working with QTP for a while and the dynamic text was something sticky for these few days, but thanks to your video, it's now solved. Thank you :)

Hi DMitry,

can u tell me what regular expression i should use for "Inbox(12)" link.And thanku for ur efforts of sharing knowledge excellent way .

Drafts( \(\d+\))?

Hi
thanks for the video. I try to simulate the steps in the video
- upto the point where we rename objects, create the webtable and print the number of messages under Drafts

But in the object property in the frame object, for Name a certain alphanumeric value is set during the first run. During subsequent runs this value seems to be changing, so when I run the script to print the number of messages in Drafts I am getting the following error

Cannot find the "Drafts (1)" object's parent "Fr1" (class Frame). Verify that parent properties match an object currently displayed in your application.

This is my script

Browser("Main").Page("Inbox").Frame("Fr1").Link("Drafts (1)").Click
rowCount=Browser("Main").Page("Inbox").Frame("Fr1").WebTable("Draft").RowCount
MsgBox "Row Count = " &rowCount

Hi
I am a novice trying to learn from your videos. I was trying the scenerio for clicking 'dynamic link'. I created a script following the steps in the video, up to printing the number of messages under Drafts(1). this is how I tested

1. wrote a script to open google mail, clicked on Drafts(1)(have 1 mail under Drafts). My test ends here

2. In the object repository for the frame object, I see a value set for Name.

3. I renamed all the objects, created the webtable, modified script to print the number of entries under Drafts

4. Re-ran the script and I see the error
" Cannot find the "Drafts (1)" object's parent "Fr1" (class Frame). Verify that
parent properties match an object
currently displayed in your application."

I realised each time I run the test, the value for Name in frame changed. This is causing the error.

How do I resolve this? thanks

Cool videos. Just that the speed could be more between steps :)

Hi Dimtry,

Really superb work ,these videos helped me a lot. Keep going :)
