Q: What are the prerequisites to connect QTP with QC?
A:
- Check Allow other Mercury products to run tests and components present under Tools > Options > Run in QTP
- If you are running the tests on the same computer where you have QC client installed, then you will need:
- QTP Connectivity Add-In
- QTP Add-in
- If you are running the tests on the different computer than where you have QC client installed, then you will need:
- QTP Add-in where QC client is installed.
- QTP Add-in and QC connectivity Add-in where QTP is installed.
- QC connectivity can be found at QC server URL > ‘Add-Ins Page’ link > ‘QC Connectivity’ link > ‘Download Add-in’

Q: How can we connect QC with QTP using Automation Object Model (AOM)?
A:
Use TDConnection Object.
Example:
' Create the QuickTest Professional application object.
Set qtqcApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")qtqcApp.Launch 'Launch QTP
qtqcApp.Visible = True 'Make it visible
'Connect to Quality Center
'qtqcApp.TDConnection.Connect <QC Server path>, <Domain name that contains QC project>,
'<Project Name in QC you want to connect to>, <UserName>, <Password>,
' <Whether 'password is entered in encrypted or normal. Value is True for encrypted and FALSE for normal>
qtqcApp.TDConnection.Connect "http://QualityCenterServer/tdbin",
"FR", "Flights", "learnqtp", "welcome", False
Q: How can we automatically connect QTP with QC on start up?
A: Go to File > Quality Center Connection. Check the box marked Reconnect to server on start-up.
Q: What if QTP tries to connect with QC automatically but QC login credentials had changed?
A: Change the following properties from 1 to 0. They are present in mic.ini file under QTP installation generally found under C:Program FilesMercury InteractiveQuickTest Professionalbin
- LoginAutomatically=0
- ReconnectToDB=0
- ReconnectToServer=0
Q: How can we access Quality Center Open Test Architecture (OTA) using AOM?
A: Using QCUtil object (AKA TDUtil for QTP 6.5 and backwards). You can find details of all associated properties like CurrentRun, TestRun, Current Testset, CurrentTestSetTest, IsConnected, QCConnection under QTP Help > Quick Test Object Model Reference > Utility Objects > QCUtil Object.
Q: Where can we find all methods and properties present under TDConnection Object?
A: Refer QTP Help > QTP Advanced References > QuickTest Automation > TDConnection Object.
Q: How can we upload QTP scripts to QC using AOM?
A: Once connected to Quality Center, open the test using AOM and save it to QC.
Example:
qtqcApp.Open "C:TempProjectQTPTestScript1", True ' Get the Test object Set qtqcTest = qtqcApp.Test ' Use the SaveAs method to upload the test to Quality Center qtqcApp.Test.SaveAs "[QualityCenter] SubjectFolderNameQTPTScript"

A: Yes, QTP 10.0 provides you the version control feature under the name of Quality Center Version Control present under File Menu. Earlier versions of QTP can work with 3rd party version control tools.

Hi Atul,
I have placed all the scripts in a Shared Folder and each script there is having different Actions Calls that sits externally to the Driver script. And all these scripts are then mapped to QC Tests. These scripts works perfectly fine for my Login to a system whether for Remote execution or for Local execution. But I am currently facing the below issues with these QTP Scripts when I login to a system (Computer) with some other login Id, I never encountered earlier:-
1> When I try to execute these scripts through QC, after logging-in to the system with some other login ID: I am always getting an error “You don’t have permissions to execute test”, and to resolve that I have to reopen that script in QTP and will have to always click on Check box there in QTP test Options “Enable to connect with other HP tools”.
a. Even after doing this when making second attempt to execute, I am getting the Execution error in QC as “Tool can not be opened”
2> When I manually try to open the same script From QC after logging-in to the system with some other login ID, the script is failing as automatically I am getting the value for Reporter.RunStatus =1 even before the script starts execution.
Due to these issues, the entire scripts have become my login Id dependent but I wished all these scripts to work independently of any one logs in to system.
Looking for help
When raising a defect in QC, I would like to add standard headings (e.g Issue:, Expected Result, Actual Result, Steps to Replicate:) to appear each time a defect is raised. I have looked at the script editior under “defects module script but cannot determine where to update this. Hope this makes sense
