Launching QTP forum

by | Last Updated On Mar 26, 2014 | Tips and Tricks in QTP | 31 comments

Hi Readers of QTP blog,

It gives me immense pleasure to announce the launch of QTP forums. I have been working on this forum for quite some time to give it the shape that it is in now.qtpforumslogo

I would like to share with you a little background about what brought the forum into being. As the days have passed, this blog has seen tremendous growth and is marching well on its mission of “one stop shop” for QTP. With the growth, a major issue I faced was how to answer the ever-increasing comments from readers in a timely and structured manner. Timely, because I started getting comments on different posts and even through email. Keeping track of those and answering them within reasonable time was sometimes difficult. Structured, because often there were similar questions being asked on the comments sections of different posts and they could not be linked/referenced to each other.

The situation asked for a system that would allow search in a repository of questions, store them in a structured manner and enable other readers as well to help peers with issues on QTP.

Keeping this in mind, I have started the QTP forums, which would give a managed environment for QTP users/experts to interact and learn.

With the forum in place to manage questions, this would let me have more time to continue with fresh posts on this blog. So keep reading and Subscribe to this blog if you have not subscribed yet.

Here is a brief introduction of the forum.

QTP forum is divided into two broad sections:

QTP and General

  1. QTP Beginners
  2. QTP Regular Expressions
  3. VB Scripting/Descriptive Programming
  4. QTP Interview Questions

Section General covers 2 sub-forums:

  1. Posting Guidelines/Disclaimer
  2. Suggestions and Feedback

    Hi Ankur,

    I am planning to automate JD Edwards application (Web Application). I added the Oracle Add-in, Stingray add-in and tried to recognize objects.
    QTP is recognizing the table/grid as a series of nested HTML tables inside each other. There are no rows and columns, making it difficult to search a row with a specific value in the table.
    Could you please help in this regard?
    Are there any functions to access data for such objects?

    I am accesing the JDE Application via a browser (internet Explorer).QTP is identyfing all the objects as browser objects and I am getting some issues concerning table( QTP is recognizing the table as a series of nested HTML tables inside each other).Therefore are no rows nor columns making it difficult to search a row with a specific value in the table.

    Please note that JDE is developed by Oracle but I don’t know the technology behind

    @Andy:

    What’s the technology behind it?
    I think it should work as any other web based app. Are you facing any problem?

    Also for further questions use forums.

    Hi Shiva,

    This is sandeep.I am new to QTP but i will tell you some advantages which i know.

    In 9.5 when you add an object in object repository,you can just drag that object from repository to the expert view where you can get the vbscript code.

    In 9.5 you have a default action when you code a script in Expert view.
    hope other are the same as you have in 9.2.

    Thanks
    Sandeep.V

    Hi Ankur,
    I use QTP v9.1, I successfully record the things I have to test, but the problem occurs when i play the recorded test, especially when QTP has to select an item from the drop down box. It goes to the drop down box and selects a default value rather than picking up the required item,which i have specified in the Action sheet. I have tried giving ‘wait’ statement in between the line before the test line for the drop down box. Am I doing something wrong or is there some setting that i should set. The situation is of real urgency, Please do let me know if you have a solution.
    thank you

    Hi Ankur,
    Suppose i have couple of function in my QTP SCRIPT file lets say fun1();fun2(),fun3()etc in action1.
    and i have defined all these functions in separate vbs file.Now suppose while executing func2()its going to .vbs file .Thats fine

    Suppose if anything is misisng or script fails because of some problem within func2() what i need it should exit from ENTIRE SCRIPT since why it would execute next line if it would had faile dat single place…

    Could you suggest me any vb function which does the same work of Termination Of Script if an error occurs or object doesnt exist?

    i will provide snippet that would help you to understand thing better…..

    pr_login()
    pr_dosearch()
    pr_booking()
    Browser().Page().Winbutton().Click
    //some more script…

    I want script stops if any control or object doesn’t exist while executing pr_dosearch() procedure.

    please help me

    Regards,
    Rahul!!!!
