QTP Questions - 14

1. Anybody with an experience of testing Mainframe applications. I usually check the ActiveX and VB add-ins while launching the test. Also I'm wondering how would the object repository look when we actually select the Terminal Emulator add-in and record the sript.Will it only record the Terminaal Emulator as the Object or will it record all it 's children, i mean the fields on the GREEN SCREEN.

1. Even after u install the TE addin, if QTP identifies the screen objects in terms of x,y co-ordinates.its probably because ur host explorer is not compatible...for me its not working with hummingbird..but works with astra,reflections etc.

2. First we have install Terminal Emulator add-in. Then try to identify the objects.

The objects will be added to the object Repository, but these objects will be identified depends the X, Y co-ordinates of the objects.

2. What are different execution modes available in QTP & explain them.

1. There are 3 execution mode in QTP they r:

1. Normal - the default mode where expected & actual results are verified & output is given.

2. Update - When u want to update the expected result then update mode is used.

3. Debug- this requires Microsoft debugger..

2. There are 2 run modes in QTP:

1. Normal : It will show the execution of your QTP script step by step. This works good in case of debugging your script.

2. Fast Run : It will not show the execution line by line.

3. If winrunner and QTP both are functional testing tools from the same company.why a separate tool QTP came into picture.Enchanments can be implemented in the winrunner and release a new winrunner version.

1. When we compare to Winrunner QTP is having More extra features and very easy to use it'll support .Net , ERP,CRM applications these r some extra features of QTP Thats why QTP came to the Picture

2. Winrunner was the first tool developed by Mercury Interactive for only functionality testing. Which is why Winrunner is called a defined tool.

And Astra was the first company to develop a tool for conducting web tests. The tool developed by Astra company was AQT. Later Mercury Interactive bought the tool AQT from Astra company and built a new tool with all the features of Winrunner and features of AQT thus naming the new tool as Quick Test Pro (QTP).. this is why QTP is called a designed tool (not a defined tool). It is said that after 2007 Mercury Interactive is not going to release any further version of Winrunner to the market.

3. QTP has some additional functionality which is not present in the Winrunner. For example, you can test (Functionality & Regression Testing) an application developed in .Net technology with QTP, which is not possible to test in Winrunner.
