UFT Classes #13: Parameterization using Data Table | After all the scripts need ‘Test Data’

Parameterization tells UFT how & from where to fetch the Test Data for running the Test cases. One of the simplest method – using the Data Table!

HPE UFT/QTP

UFT Classes #11: Introduction to Functions

If you have segments of code that needs to be used several times, you may want to create a function and then call that function from within the main action.

UFT Classes #10: Start scripting | Working with Actions

UFT action is a component in which you can write your code, i.e. code for a specific functionality. Scenario: Say you want to send a mail from Gmail & then logout. What would the steps be for this Test script?

Testing Fundamentals

Different means to Test | What’s your Testing approach or method?

Will you start testing in parallel with development or only after the development is completed? What about testing at the code-level? i.e. code reviews to ensure best practices are followed. Will it only be reviews or will you actually run the application to identify defects? How about utilizing some automation tool to ease the process? Or will it be hybrid?

UFT Classes #9: Ease of Automation with different Recording Modes

To begin automation, the first step every tester learns is ‘Record-and-Play’. Why? It’s the easiest 🙂 Also, during automation there will be cases when we need to record object using its properties, or continuous mouse movements, or object’s co-ordinates, or to record images of the object. The purpose defines the type of UFT Recording mode you select.

UFT Classes #8: Object Repository – collection of objects and its properties!

‘Repository’ is a generic term meaning a central location in which data is stored and managed. And why would someone need a central location? To access data from a single source of truth, which can be accessed across-locations by multiple users. Now apply the same concept to Automation.

UFT Classes #7: Most used UFT Utility – Object Spy

In our last post “UFTBasics #6: Object Identification via Mandatory & Assistive properties”, we briefed about how to identify objects in an application using their ‘properties’. The next obvious step is ‘How do you extract the ‘attribute-value’ pair for an object’s properties? This is where “Object Spy” comes to rescue!

UFT Classes #6: Object Identification via Mandatory & Assistive properties

As stated in previous post – Textbox, Button, Image, Checkbox, Dropdown, Hyperlink, etc. – everything which is visible in an application is known as “Object”. Automation is all about identifying these “Objects” in the application and the subsequent “Actions” to-be-performed on it. But the question is – How do you identify different ‘Objects’ in the application via HP UFT?

UFT Classes #2: Be a better version of yourself | What’s new with HP UFT (over QTP)?

Formerly known as HP QuickTest Professional (QTP), Unified Functional Testing (UFT) provides functional and regression test automation. It uses the Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) as its scripting language. UFT automates testing through an intuitive, visual user experience that ties manual, automated, and framework-based testing together in one IDE.
