QTP Quick Test Handson

Course Content

OVERVIEW

This core course provides a comprehensive understanding of using QuickTest Professional 9.5 as an automated functional testing tool for different environments. You will use QuickTest Professional’s graphical point and click interface to record and play back tests, add synchronization points and verification steps, and create multiple action tests. You will build upon fundamental topics by using debug tools to troubleshoot tests and use additional checkpoints and product options to broaden the scope of business processes that can be automated. Once tests are created, you will discover and correct common record and play back problems. All topics are supported by hands-on exercises based on real-life examples.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Create basic scripts from a manual test case.

• Enhance basic tests with synchronization and verification.

• Parameterize tests to run with multiple sets of data.

• Create and reuse modular actions.

• Use the Object Repository.

• Use debugging tools.

• Use custom checkpoints to create more precise verification points within a test.

• Use the Object Repository Manager.

• Describe and use virtual objects.

• Resolve object recognition problems.
