Active Screen—Provides a snapshot of your application as it appeared when you performed a certain step during the recording session. ? Data Table—Assists you in parameterizing your test or component. For a test, the Data Table contains the Global tab and a tab for each action. For a component, the Data Table contains single tab. ? Debug Viewer pane—Assists you in debugging your test or component. The Debug Viewer pane contains the Watch Expressions, Variables, and Command tabs (not displayed by default). ? Status bar—Displays the status of the QuickTest application.

How many tabs are available in Debug Viewer Pane?

The Debug Viewer pane contains three tabs to assist you in debugging your test or component—Watch Expressions, Variables, and Command. Watch Expressions The Watch Expressions tab enables you to view the current value of any variable or other VBScript expression. Variables The Variables tab enables you to view the current value of all variables that have been recognized up to the last step performed in the run session. Command The Command tab enables you to execute a line of script in order to set or modify the current value of a variable or VBScript object in your test or component. When you continue the run session, QuickTest uses the new value that was set in the command.

How many toolbars QTP has?

QuickTest has 4 built-in toolbars: 1. The File toolbar 2. The Testing toolbar 3. The Debug toolbar 4. Action toolbar The Action toolbar is available in the Keyword View and contains options that enable you to view all actions in the test flow or to view the details of a selected action. The Action toolbar is not available for components.

Explain the terms Password Encoder, Remote Agent, Test Batch Runner, Test Results Deletion tool?

Password Encoder—enables you to encode passwords. You can use the resulting strings as method arguments or Data Table parameter values. Remote Agent—determines how QuickTest behaves when a test or component is run by a remote application such as Quality Center. Test Batch Runner—enables you to set up QuickTest to run several tests in succession. Test Results Deletion Tool—enables you to delete unwanted or obsolete results from your system according to specific criteria that you define.

Explain the terms Test Object Model, Test Object & Run-Time object?

The test object model is a large set of object types or classes that QuickTest uses to represent the objects in your application. Each test object class has a list of properties that can uniquely identify objects of that class and a set of relevant methods that QuickTest can record for it. A test object is an object that QuickTest creates in the test or component to represent the actual object in your application. QuickTest stores information about the object that will help it identify and check the object during the run session. A run-time object is the actual object in your Web site or application on which methods are performed during the run session.

What are assistive properties or an ordinal identifier?

When mandatory property values are not sufficient to uniquely identify the object within its parent object, QuickTest adds some assistive properties and/or an ordinal identifier to create a unique description. Note: You can retrieve or modify property values of the test object during the run session by adding GetTOProperty and SetTOProperty statements in the Keyword View or Expert View. You can retrieve property values of the runtime object during the run session by adding GetROProperty statements. If the available test object methods or properties for an object do not provide the functionality you need, you can access the internal methods and properties of any run-time object using the Object property. You can also use the attribute object property to identify Web objects in your application according to user-defined properties.
