Testing Java Web Start applications via QTP!! - oskar_schindlerus - 09-27-2009
Hi Folks,
I usually do my testing using perl scrips but I now have to test a website that pushes a Java Web Start application on the desktop.
As it turns out, perl does not seem to have modules that support recognizing Java applications.
I am currently doing a survey of tools and Abbot came to mind. That being said, I know that QTP does have a Java plugin. Can I use the Java plugin to test the Java Web Start application?
Many thanks for your help. If the answer it yes (which I think it would be), then I can go ahead and read up the QTP literature.
Thanks,
- Oskar

Yes you can use Java plugin to test Java Web Start Applications.
Make sure that you have the JWS version which is supported by QTP. QTP 9.5 provides support till 1.5.x version. You can get the support info in the 'Read Me' file.

Hi Ankur,
Thanks again for the info.
We have QTP 9.2 at work but I suspect that it should be fine.
I don't know the java version used to build the JAWS application. (It is a 3rd party app that we have no control over). But I went in and tried to record a script on the app via QTP and it QTP seemed to pick up the GUI objects. So I suspect I should be ok.
