Run QTP script on system without QTP IDE

[nacchio]

Hello,

can I run a QTP script on a system where not install QTP?

I read that I can run QTP script in remote mode but I don't understand:

1. I lunch qtp script from not-qtp machine on the qtp machine or

2. I lunch qtp script from qtp machine on the not-qtp machine?


Thanks a lot

I don't know about remote machine but you can definitely launch qtp in local machine using a driver files (notepad.vbs) in which you have to create quicktest.application object and write automation scripts in it

can we run qtp script without installing qtp in local machine?

Hi Sandya,

you cannot run qtp script without installing qtp in local machine because in this way you infrange the license term of qtp.

But you can run qtp test in automatic way on a machine where qtp is installed. If you click Tools-->Options-->General Tab-->Generate Script you create a .vbs that permits to open qtp IDE. Then you can add these follow lines to open a qtp test, to run it and to save the results

Code:

Set App = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")
...
App.Open "your_path\qtp_test"
Set qtResult = CreateObject("QuickTest.RunResultsOptions")
qtResult.ResultsLocation = "your_path\results_folder"
App.Test.Run qtResult

Cheers
