Checkpoints - How to differential from Actual behavior to Expected Behavior - rdwaram - 10-13-2009

Good Afternoon,

This is my first post here on this Forum. So please excuse me if i have not posted in the correct area.

I am fairly new to the functionality of QTP. I went thru the tutorial. I am able to perform various tests in our application, that is only when the behavior is as expected. How do i handle unexpected behavior.

Simple Scenario:

Expected:
1. url
2. enter username, password
3. Login
4. Logout

If i disable to user:
1. url
2. enter username, password
3. after clicking the Login button, it routes me to a different page saying "user has been disabled" - at this point the script just hangs and there is an exception to stop, debug or skip.

How do I handle this, so the script can complete as failed instead of throwing an exception. I understand the basics of checkpoints, but how to set a checkpoint to continue a certain way if the login button routes me to a different page.

Please advise.

Thanks,
rd

Hi,

I guess you can insert a simple checkpoint like.

Browser().Page().Webelement().check(checkpoint()) which will give you a value in the boolean and then have a reporter statement like

Code:
If Pass then

Reporter.Reportevent micpass, "Text appeared", "Test Passed"

Else

Reporter.reportevent micfail, "Text did not appeared","Test Failed"

Let us know if this helps.
