calling more than one test using driver script

[pspsblog]

How we can call more than one tests in a driver test?
Say I have test1, test2, test3.
if TC# is 1, I want to run test1...
is there any method to run a test or can we use quick test application object..I don't want to change my test into functions and use runaction.

Options are available. You may need to pick yours.

1. you can load all the tests you have into a excel sheet, mark a execute flag and then loop through it using a external VBScript and it will initiate the execution. Yes, here you will need to use the QTP AOM.

I dont know if you can do it through QTP. However your last statement talks about "RunAction"...What does that mean ??

Thanks! Can you pls give me the sample script to call a test using AOM.
First I create a qucik test object and the launch and visible is set to true and then how to specify the path for the test I want to call.

Run action is for calling/executing an action if I change/save tests as action and then I can call the action if the flag is set Y in the xls.

Hi,
U can try the following:
Test Data file(Excel) should have 2 fileds, 1.Script Name & 2.ToBeExecuted and the Driver Scripts will be as follows.

Code:

MyTest = DataTable.Value("Script", 1)
If DataTable.Value("ToBeExecuted", 1)= "YES" Then

Select Case MyTest

      Case "Test1"    
          RunAction("Test1", oneIteration)
    Case "Test2"    
          RunAction("Test2", oneIteration)
    Case "Test3"    
          RunAction("Test3", oneIteration)

          ---------
          
   End Select
Else
Reporter.ReportEvent 1, "-------------", "-------------------"
End If

Hi Pspsblog,

You can use Object.Open method to open your Test.
Syntax for this will be

Object.Open TestPath,OpenInReadOnlyMode,SaveCurrent

where
object : QTP Aplication object,
TestPath " Path for your test
OpenInReadOnlyMode : Optional [True/False]
Save Current : Optional [True/False]

Hope this will help you

Rameshrise3 - RunAction Statement can be used only for call a reusable action, you will not be able to call a test using RunAction
