You can use parameterized expected values to make your Checkpoints dynamic. A dynamic CHECKPOINT is a checkpoint that can check for any value generated at run time. You can set parameterized expected values on: An object property in Object Repository A checkpoint on a parameterized field For example, if a checkpoint is dependent on an [...]
After you create an output Parameter, you can use the parameter value in subsequent steps of the Test. During the test run the values of the output Parameters can be seen in the design-time table. Once test execution is complete, the run-time output values are stored in the runtime table of the test Results.
To insert an output value after Recording: In ACTIVE SCREEN, right-click the object whose value you want to retrieve and select INSERT OUTPUT VALUE. The OBJECT SELECTION – OUTPUT VALUE PROPERTIES dialog box appears. Click OK to verify the object. The OUTPUT VALUE PROPERTIES dialog box appears. Check the properties that you want to parameterize. [...]
Output Parameter can be inserted while in Recording. To insert an Output parameter during recording: From the QuickTest Professional menu bar, select INSERT ? OUTPUT VALUE ?STANDARD OUTPUT VALUE. The OUTPUT VALUE PROPERTIES dialog box appears. In the OUTPUT VALUE PROPERTIES dialog box, check the properties that you want to parameterize. Click the MODIFY button. [...]
Output Parameter: Enables you to use output to capture values from the Application at run-time. You can get a value from the application and store it in the QuickTest Test Results. You can later use this value as an input to a variable. Using Output Parameters: An Output parameter is the value of a property [...]
Input Parameter: Enables you to run a Test using different sets of input values. For example, you can use Input parameter to select different destinations for the same source in the Flight Reservation Application. Replacing Static Data with Input Parameters: Input parameters enable you to replace a static recorded value in a step with a [...]
To specify the location of Data table to be used in your Test: From the QuickTest Professional menu bar, select FILE ? SETTINGS. The TEST SETTINGS dialog box appears. In the TEST SETTINGS dialog box, click the RESOURCES tab. In the DATA TABLE section: a) Select the DEFAULT LOCATION option to use the data stored [...]
Data table stores data either in: Global sheet: Provides a source for values that can be used by any Action in the Test. ACTION sheet: Provides a source for values specific to an action. Global Data Sheet: The global data sheet provides a source of values that can be used by any action in the [...]
A Data Driven Test runs a set of user Actions with multiple input values. Data driving enables one script to test Application functionality using multiple sets of data. Data driven tests eliminate the need for performing multiple tests and increases test coverage. The resulting enhanced speed, repeatability, and accuracy in test coverage frees resources for [...]
Parameters facilitate re-usability of an Action or a Test. By using parameters, you can record a test once and use it several times. Parameters enable you to run multiple sets of data. Note: An input Parameter is a placeholder for a value that is passed to the test during the test run. Parameter Types: By [...]
