subject: Qtp Online Training: Knowing The Different Stages In Hp Quick Test Pro [print this page] Manual testing is a very wearisome procedureManual testing is a very wearisome procedure. It also presupposes that you have the right personnel who is skilled enough to subject your product to a series of tests to make sure that its behaving as designed. QTP Testing refers to the HP Quick Test Pro software and offers an alternative to checking your app or website for bugs and the like at a very rapid rate.
Different stages
With QA Testing Methodologies, you will learn the various phases in the automated testing process. First is analyzing your application in order to identify what type of testing that will be adopted. What are the different environments in your app, is it JAVA, Web or .NET? You may need to load the add-ins of the QTP to work with each environment. Are you testing for business processes or functionality? You have to know customer browsing patterns in order to know which is which.
Second is you prepare the testing infrastructure, which basically involves knowing the resources and creating these resources (shared object repositories, function libraries, etc.); under this second stage, you will calibrate the QTP so it will perform the test you need.
Creating your test
Third stage is to build the types of tests. You can actually run more than one test and insert more steps by ordering your function libraries to connect with the associated tests. This is also the phase when you configure your preferences on the testing skeletons.
Fourth is to enhance your test. You can do so by introducing checkpoints in the testing process where you can identify the specific value of object, page or text and allow you to know if your app is functioning as it should. You can then expand the scope of your test by inputting parameters while encoding loop or conditional statements allows for a more sophisticated QTP testing.
Debugging and Evaluating results
To ensure that your app will run smoothly without fail, you need to debug it but only after the test is working as planned. Debugging enables you to check how your application is behaving. While still in the testing mode, the QTP will open the application and run each step in your test. You will then analyze the test reports in the QTP testing to spot the faults and glitches. It is advised that you install the HP Quality Centre, which is HPs test management solution, so you can report the flaws to a database.
