Adding Steps Using Keyword View in QTP

After Recording a Test, you can enhance your test with programming statements. You add these programming statements in the KEYWORD VIEW.

TheseProgramming statements can contain:

• Recordable test object methods and operations that you can perform on an Application but do not want to record.
• Non-recordable test object methods and operations that you cannot perform on an application. These methods include methods to retrieve or set information or to perform operations triggered by an event.
• Run-time methods of the object being tested.
• Functions associated with the UTILITY object and custom-designed functions.
• VBScript programming commands, such as conditions and loops, which affect the way a test runs.
• Supplemental statements, such as comments to make your test easier to read, messages that appear in the test Results, and custom-designed functions.

• CONDITIONAL STATEMENT
