Use same QTP script for 2 different environments

[flexdev]

I wrote a script that points to my QA environment URL; it works great. I assume I can use the same script to point to my PROD environment URL simply by using parameterization.

I added an "Environment" column to the Data Table with two values; the URL for QA and the URL for PROD.

I started by adding a description property to each Page object (via Object Repository) and parameterize the "url". When I started this I quickly found this could take quite awhile and thought there might be a better way; is there?

In addition, I have close to 70 actions, each of which uses a "Page" and "Page 2" object. Hopefully, there is just one place where I can switch the URLs for these two objects: Is there? Is the answer to use user-defined environment variables, i.e. one for QA and one for PROD?

Thanks for any helpful tips.

Hi,
USe MAp repository parameters to handle the 2 different pages but code will work with 1 page name (logical name) but based on the parametrization u can handle it very well.
