QTP - FLEX Automation

[QTP_Beginner]

Hi,

I am very much new to QTP world and couple on queries on how QTP can be used for FLEX automation. Our UI has been developed using Flex and we are considering QTP can be used for automation. Please provide me with your inputs on following: -

1) What all browsers support does QTP have for Flex automation ? I need to run same test cases on multiple browsers like IE, firefox, chrome, safari etc. So does QTP automation for FLEX support all these browsers ?

2) Can I run my tests on remote machines from QTP. Say i develop automation on 1 machine. Can I run my tests on remote machines which has those different browsers installed ?

3) Does QTP provide record and play for all FLEX objects ?

4) As of know we are using C# to automate test cases. So does QTP provide support for running c# test cases for FLEX on different browsers.

Really appreciate all your help.

Thanks,

answer to your questions -

- I have not worked on chrome and Safari yet, but yes QTP supports IE and firefox. you will need to have flex addin installed with QTP.

Can I run my tests on remote machines from QTP. Say i develop automation on 1 machine. Can I run my tests on remote machines which has those different browsers installed ?
-Yes there are various ways of doing so, search this forum for your answers

As of know we are using C# to automate test cases. So does QTP provide support for running c# test cases for FLEX on different browsers.
-How does a C# test case look like? I would really like to know How you are using C# to automate test cases.

Hi,

I have a sample flex application developed using Flex 3.0 on Flex Builder. Now I am using QTP to record and play test cases on that sample flex application and it is working fine.

But when i use QTP to detect Flex application on remote machine, it does not record anything.
I am opening browser and giving it as "http://machineip/qtp" and it is opening the app and i could do manual testing but i cannot record anything in QTP.

Please provide ur inputs on how to record test cases on remote machine.

Thanks.

Not sure, what could be the issue. but you can make sure following and see if works
- you have flex and web addin properly loaded
- you have launched QTP first and then your application
