How to schedule a batch execution

In this video, i covered following concepts:

How to execute batch of QTP Tests.
How to capture QTP Execution status.
How to send the execution status as a Outlook Mail.


Following is the AOM script for the above functionality:

Set qtpApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")
Set fsObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set qtpResObj = CreateObject("QuickTest.RunResultsOptions")

sFolderPath="E:\Batch Tests"

qtpApp.Launch
qtpApp.Visible = True


Set mainFolderObj = fsObj.GetFolder(sFolderPath)
Set testSubFolders = mainFolderObj.SubFolders

sPath="E:\"&formatDate&"\"

For each folderObj in testSubFolders

   chkfolderObj = folderObj.Path & "\Action0"

   If (fsObj.FolderExists(chkfolderObj)) Then ' The folder is a QTP test folder

      qtpApp.Open folderObj.Path, True, False


      sResultFolderPath=sPath&folderObj.Name & "\Res" ' Set the results location

      qtpResObj.ResultsLocation = sResultFolderPath

    
      qtpApp.Test.Run qtpResObj, True

      strResult=qtpApp.Test.LastRunResults.Status

      'WScript.echo strResult

      qtpApp.Test.Close

    End If
Next

'SendMail()

qtpApp.Quit


' Release the File System Objects
Set testSubFolders  = Nothing
Set mainFolderObj = Nothing
Set fsObj = Nothing                                          
set qtpResObj=nothing
set qtpApp=nothing

Function formatDate()
    str=now()
    str=replace(str,"/","")
    str=replace(str,":","")
    str=replace(str," ","")
    formatDate= mid(str,1,len(str)-2)
End Function

function SendMail()
    Set Outlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set Message = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
    With Message
        .Subject = "Test results for Date "&sPath
        .HTMLBody = "This is an automated mail for Test Results"
        .Recipients.Add ("udayanem@gmail.com")
        .attachments.add sFilePath
        .Send
    End With

    set Outlook=nothing
end function

How to schedule a QTP Test

In this video i explained about how to schedule a QTP Test.

Covered an overview of AOM(Automation Object Model).
How to schedule a task in Win XP and Win 7 machine.



Here is the AOM Code for launching QTP and running a QTP Test.

sFilePath="E:\Test1"
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application") 'creates an instance of QTP Object

qtApp.Launch ' Launches QTP
qtApp.Visible = True 'Making QTP Visible during execution

qtApp.open sFilePath, True 'Opens the QTP Test

set qtTest=qtApp.Test

qtTest.Run   'Runs the QTP Test

WScript.sleep 10000

qtTest.close 'Closes the QTP Test
qtApp.quit  'Closes QTP

set qtTest=nothing
set qtApp=nothing

How to work with Excel using QTP

Here in this video i demonstrated how to work with Excel files using QTP.

Following are the concepts are covered in this video:

How to get a cell value
How to set a cell value
How to find a string
How to add an Excel sheet
How to set a font color
How to set a interior color for a cell
How to copy paste cell values
How to insert an image
Following is the QTP Script for above functions:
o_FileName1="C:\Test1.xls"
o_FileName2="C:\Test2.xls"
Set xlObj=createobject("Excel.Application")
Set xlWBObj=xlObj.workbooks.open(o_FileName1)
Set xlWSObj=xlWBObj.worksheets(1)

print xlWSObj.cells(2,1).value
'
xlWSObj.cells(3,2).value="IJK"

Set Cell=xlWSObj.range("A:Z").find("XYZ")
print Cell.Address



Set xlWSLastSheetObj=xlWBObj.worksheets( xlWBObj.Sheets.count)
xlWBObj.worksheets.add(,xlWSLastSheetObj).name="TestSheet3"


xlWSObj.cells(2,1).Font.Color=vbRed
xlWSObj.cells(2,1).Font.Name="Verdana"
xlWSObj.cells(2,2).Interior.Color=vbBlue

xlWSObj.range("A2").select
xlWSObj.range("A2:B2").select
xlObj.selection.copy
xlWSObj.range("E5").select
xlWSObj.paste

xlWSObj.cells(6,"B").select
Set x=xlWSObj.pictures.insert("C:\174.JPG")
Set objRange=xlWSObj.range("B6:C13")
With x
    .Top=objRange.Top
    .Left=objRange.Left
    .Width=objRange.Width
    .Height=objRange.Height
End With

xlWBObj.SaveAs o_FileName2
xlWBObj.close
xlObj.application.quit

Set xlWBObj=nothing
Set xlObj=nothing

How to retrieve content from XML using MS XML DOM

Here in this video i demonstrated how to retrieve XML content using MS XML DOM.

The sample code for above demonstration:

Dim o_XML
Dim s_XMLFilePath

s_XMLFilePath="E:\Programming Samples\QTP Samples\Cars.xml"

'Set o_XML=createobject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")   'DOM object of XML Parser.
'                                                                                                    ' You can search the XML Parser ("Msxml.dll") in your system.
'o_XML.Async=false    ' if it is false, then the file must be download first and the control goes back to the caller
'                                            'if it is true, then the control goes back to the caller before the file download           
'o_XML.load(s_XMLFilePath) 'This method loads the XML File
'
'set o_ChildPath=o_XML.SelectNodes("/Cars/Make/Model/Name/text()")
'For i=0 to o_ChildPath.length-1
'    print o_ChildPath(i).NodeValue
'Next

Set o_XML=XMLUtil.CreateXMLFromFile(s_XMLFilePath)
set o_ChildPath=o_XML.ChildElementsByPath("/Cars/Make/Model/Name")
For i=1 to o_ChildPath.Count
    print o_ChildPath.Item(i).Value
Next

Set o_ChildPath=nothing





The content of the XML File as follows:
<Cars>
  <Make name="Maruthi">
    <Model>
      <Name>Alto</Name>
      <Release>2000</Release>
    </Model>
  </Make>
  <Make name="Hundai">
    <Model>
      <Name>i10</Name>
      <Release>2003</Release>
    </Model>
  </Make>
  <Make name="Maruthi">
    <Model>
      <Name>Wagnor</Name>
      <Release>2005</Release>
    </Model>
  </Make>
</Cars>

How to compare two XML files using QTP

There are many ways you can compare two XML Files.

Here in this i demonstrated using XMLUtil.

XMLUtil - Part 2

I request people watch XMLUtil - Part 1, before watching this video.

http://qtpftvideos.blogspot.in/2012/12/how-to-work-with-xml-files-part-1.html
