3. Before you start… • Before starting the presentation, read about the following topics in QTP help. • WinObject object. • ActiveX object. • Run-time properties. • WinMenu.CheckItemProperty method. • ExitActionIteration statement. • WinMenu.ExpandMenu property. • WinMenu.BuildPath method. • DataTable object. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

4. guiFR Module Open a new blank test and save it as “guiFR” under the folder FR\RA\GL Automation FR LIB RA BL GL RS DOC DAT SETTING TESTS RES BATCH ENV guiFR 4 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

5. guiFR - Introduction • We are going to create a new test, classified as a GUI module, and a reusable action. • The module name would be guiFR, because it will handles the “Flight Reservation” window. • This action will be called GuiFR because the reusable action is going to handle all the operations on FR windows . • The guiFR will receive a single input parameter (StepName) of String type. • As you might have noticed in previous presentations all guiXX actions have one and only one input parameter. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

6. guiFR Settings From Menu  Edit  Action  Action Properties 6 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

7. guiFR - General Tab Change Action Name Add Description Mark Reusable 7 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

8. Parameters Tab – Add StepName Add a new Input Parameter ( Click on + ) Add StepName Input Parameter Add Description Type String Default Leave Empty Click OK 8 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

9. Adding Objects to Local Repository Open the Flight Application from Start  All Programs  QuickTest Professional  Sample Applications  Flight. Login to FR. 9 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

10. Adding Objects to Local Repository Open the local object repository from Menu  Resources  Object Repository. Or just press < Ctrl + R > in QTP application. Click Add objects in toolbar or select Object > Add objects to local repository from menu-bar. QTP will show an hand icon. Click Add objects in toolbar Or Object  Add objects To Local… 10 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

11. Verify WinObject is unchecked under Miscellaneous Mapping objects Select The Window Title With the point hand Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

12. Mapping Objects Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

13. Naming conventions All the objects will be added to the local repository. While mapping the FR window we can see how naming conventions can be effective. Which button is Button_2? and Button_4? Which object is MaskEdBox? Rename all objects; use the “Highlight in Application” and “Locate in Repository” features. When an object was located, right-click on the object logical name ( left pane ) and select “Rename”. 13 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

14. Naming conventions Extended View Compact View 14 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

17. Implementing Req0010 • There are 6 bitmap checkpoints and 6 property checks. • It is not possible to merge a bitmap checkpoint to a Standard checkpoint, so we are going to use the CheckProperty method of the WinButton object. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

18. Implementing Req0010 • Add a new “Case” to the Select Case statement. • Remember to use lower-case since the Select Case condition is converted to lower case ( LCase Function ) Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

19. Avoid This!!! Req0010 – Bitmap Checkpoints • To insert a bitmap checkpoint we must be in “Record” mode. • Before pressing RECORD, place the cursor below the Case “req0010” be sure only one instance of “Flight Reservation” application is opened. • Put the cursor on line 19 ( just below case “req0010” ) Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

20. Name: Req0010a Timeout : 2 Inserting a Bitmap Checkpoint • Be sure you are in Recording Mode ( Status Bar Message blinking ) • Select from menu : Insert  Checkpoint  Bitmap checkpoint. • With the pointing hand, select the “New Order” button. • Then without stopping continue to the rest of buttons one after another. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

21. Req0010 - Implementation • Place the cursor below the last checkpoint and press F7. • You will see the step generator. • Category : Test Objects. • Click the object icon on right. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

22. Req0010a – Using the Step Generator Type: Button Name: New Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

23. Req0010a – Using the Step Generator Operation: CheckProperty PropertyName: enabled Documentation: Click For Documentation PropertyValue True Timeout 2000 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

24. Step Generator… • For some reason the Step Generator, converts “Any” values to string. So we need to fix the strings “True” to Boolean True. • Repeat above steps for rest of the bitmap checkpoints. Fix Manually Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

25. Checkpoints • Place the cursor below the checkpoint created for “req0010b” and press F7. • Repeat Steps discussed from slide # 21 to 24. • Repeat above steps for rest of the bitmap checkpoints. • Do not forget to change string “True” to boolean TRUE and for Delete “PropertyValue” should be FALSE. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

26. Req0010 Case - Modifying Modify Script for better look and fit to code standards Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

27. Req0010 Case – Keyword View Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

28. Implementing Req0011 • Req0011 checks also the properties of the “Date of Flight” field. • The “Date of Flight” field is an ActiveX object we have to test 5 properties. • “Flight From” and “Flight To” has two properties to be tested. To test these 2 properties we will use standard checkpoints. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

29. Implementing Req0011 • Press on record, and insert a standard checkpoint for this object. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

30. Implementing Req0011a • Rename the checkpoint to “Req0011a” and only check the required properties Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

31. Modifying Checkpoints • If you find that you made a mistake on selecting properties you can always edit you checkpoints. • Select the word “Checkpoint” and right-click. • In the popup menu select “Checkpoint Properties…” Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

32. Implementing Req0011b and Req0011c. • Add a standard checkpoint for “Fly From” and “Fly To”. • Give the name “Req0011b” and “Req0011c” respectively. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

33. Implementing Req0011d • Since Req0011d checks only one property, we will insert the checkProperty method manually or via “Step Generator” . • Use QTP intellisense when typing. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

34. Implementing Req0012 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

35. Implementing Req0012 • All the fields from “a” to “i” except “e” are disabled all the time, they are just information fields. • The thing that we need to test here is not that fields should be enabled but that fields are not displaying any data, all fields should be empty. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

36. Implementing Req0013 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

37. Implementing Req0013 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

38. Implementing Req0013 – Menu Defaults • We are checking the WinMenu object. • To check a menu item, we are going to use the CheckItemProperty method because it is not supported by any standard checkpoint. • Menu item exists. • Window( “FR” ).WinMenu( “Menu” ).CheckItemProperty “<item>”, “Exists”, True, 2000 • Menu item enabled. • Window( “FR” ).WinMenu( “Menu” ).CheckItemProperty “<item>”, “Enabled”, True, 2000 • Menu item index. • Window( “FR” ).WinMenu( “Menu” ).CheckItemProperty “<item>”, “Index”, <n>, 2000 • Menu item label. • Window( “FR” ).WinMenu( “Menu” ).CheckItemProperty “<item>”, “Label”, <label>, 2000 • Menu item SubMenuCount. • Window( “FR” ).WinMenu( “Menu” ).CheckItemProperty “<item>”, “SubMenuCount”, < count >, 2000 Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

39. Implementing Req0013 – Menu Defaults • We need to “check” 15 menu items and 7 properties each ( 105 lines of code ). • We can repeat the code ‘7’ times, for each menu item; that will work, but, it will require a lot of coding, and if, in the future, something changes in Menu, then it will require more time in maintenance. • For this specific requirement I have chosen a “smart” method. • I will create an excel sheet with the expected results and use the QTP iteration mechanism, so now, the only thing left is to maintain an excel-sheet, and not the code. • Earlier we learned how to import an excel sheet, now we’ll see how to export an excel sheet. • Select the Local Sheet “guiFR” Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

40. Req0013 Process Design < CHECK > Index : Start <n> Rows Loop <rows> Index? Y Index Failed Exists? Y Exists HasSubMenu? Y HasSubMenu Enabled? Y Enabled SubMenuCount? Label? Y Y SubMenuCount Label Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

41. Req0013 Process Design < CHECK > Index : Start <n> Rows Loop <rows> Index? Y Index Failed Exists? Y Exists HasSubMenu? Y HasSubMenu Enabled? Y Enabled SubMenuCount? Label? Y Y SubMenuCount Label Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

42. Exporting a Data-Sheet • If you don’t see the Data Table select from menu View  Data Table • Or from the toolbar as shown below. View Data Table Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

43. Inserting a new Data-Column • You can insert/change the name of a column for a parameter by double-clicking the column heading cell. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

44. Inserting a new Data-Column • Add the follow columns : “itemPath”, “menuItem”, “Exists”, “Enabled”, “HasSubMenu”, “Index”, “Label”, “SubMenuCount” Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

45. Exporting Data Table Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

46. Modifying Datasheet • Open FR\DAT\FR.xls • Delete line no. 2 ( remove the cell frames ) • Rename sheet to “MenuDefaults” • You can optionally remove “Sheet2” and “Sheet3” Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

47. Entering Data Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

48. Excel Options • When I first wrote the excel file and run it, I found something very strange. My checkpoint failed with the following message : • If you have a sharp eye you can notice a minor difference.. • If you still didn’t notice the difference, I'll tell you; the expected 3 dots, are wider than the actual 3 dots...mmmm Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

49. Excel Options • I researched, and almost got crazy, but then I found a solution. • The last 3 dots are NOT 3 characters, “those” are actually a single “symbol” character. • And why is it a 'single symbol' character? Because that is the way microsoft has designed it. Dani Vainstein & Monika Arora Gautam

50. Excel Options • If you just type the string “Open Order...” in MS-Excel and press ENTER, you will see the following difference: And not • The difference can be seen in better in “Courier New” font. • That’s the main reason that I recommend to use the “Courier” or “Courier New” fonts. • The AutoCorrect feature is defined by default to change the 3 dots. • Select in Excel menu : Tools > AutoCorrect Options... > AutoCorrect Tab • Uncheck the option “Replace text as you type”.
