new in QTP, need help

[guilherme_br]

Hi, I started to work in a new project in my company that need to use QTP to realize the tests with a site that they're developing.

But no one there has experience with QTP, so, I'm kinda a rat lab

Then I found the site and the forum, and I registered to exchange some experience with you guys . Well let me tell my problem.

Yesterday I was trying to do some tests with date on site and "discover" how to parameterize that, then started my whole problem. I need to fill the dates with some wrong values to the site return me some messages, then I need to check that messages, but each message has a different WebElement name and I don't know how to solve that.

For me the problem is the name of each message, I tried to parameterize that but don't work. Well, I sure that has something to solve that but yesterday I spent hours thinking on that and can't find the solution.

I'd be very apreciated if someone help me with that, cause is making me nuts.

Sorry for the long first post on forum and also for my english, that's not so good

Browser("...").Sync
Browser("...").Page("...").Sync
Browser("...").Page("...").WebEdit("dateDay").Set DataTable("date", dtGlobalSheet)
Browser("...").Page("...").WebEdit("dateMonth").Set DataTable("month", dtGlobalSheet)
Browser("...").Page("...").WebEdit("dateYear").Set DataTable("year", dtGlobalSheet)
Browser("...").Page("...").WebButton("Refresh display").Click
Browser("...").Page("...").WebElement("The date has to be today").Check CheckPoint("CheckPointMessage")

The problem is on that bold line, depending on date that I fill the fields, the website returns me a message. "The date has to be today" is one of five, but every message has a different WebElement name.

I tried to parameterize the names of each WebElement and also their values, but doesn't work

I was searching on the forum if has something related with my problem and I found that, and resolve my checkpoints thanks surya

Now I only have a little error with one message, I "tell" to QTP fill the date with blank values, but he fill each field (date/month/year) with a space, and appears other message than expected.

Oh, forget about it. I didn't realize of that field on the table I fill with a space

Now it works, anyway, thanks for the help
