1) Which environments are supported by QTP?

QTP supports the following environments

 Active X  People Soft  Terminal Emulator

 Delphi  Power Builder  Visual Basic
 Java  SAP  Visual Age
 .Net  Siebel  Web
 Oracle  Stingray  Web Services

2) What are the types object Repositories in QTP.

QTP Supports 2 types of Object Repository
1) Shared Object Repository (also called Global)

2) Per-Action Object Repository, (also called Local)

Per-Action Object Repository is used by default. The extension for Per-Action repository is
".mtr" .
Shared Object Repository is preferable while dealing with dynamic objects which are called in
multiple tests. The extension is ".tsr"

3) Can we call QTP test from another test using scripting. Suppose there are 4 tests and I
want to call these tests in a main script. Is this possible in QTP?
Yes. You can call 4 or even more scripts in your tests.For this, first you will need to make the
Actions in the corresponding scripts re-usable.Then from the destination script you can make
calls to these re-usable actions.
4) What is action split and the purpose of using this in QTP?
Action split is to divide an existing action into two parts.The purpose is to divide actions based
on their functionality to improve code re-use.
5) How will you handle Java tree in QTP ?
Foremost you will select Java Add - In and launch QTP. Next step record operations on the Java
Tree. If you face an issue while recording, you can select Tools > Object Identification > Java,
tree object and make changes in mandatory and assistive properties to enable identification.
Tip: You can base you answer on similar lines for any other object of any environment. For
example : If the question is how will check SAP checkbox , You say , first I will select SAP Add
in ... and so on.
6) Explain how QTP identifies object ?
QTP identifies any GUI Object based on its corresponding properties. While recording, QTP
will identify and store peculiar properties (as defined in the Object Identification settings) in the
object repository of the GUI object . At run-time, QTP will compare the stored property values
with the on-screen properties, to uniquely identify the GUI object.

7) How many types of recording modes in QTP? Which will be used when ?
QTP supports 3 types of recording modes

1. Normal mode also called Contextual

2. Low-level recording mode
3.Analog mode
Normal Mode: It is the default recording mode and takes full advantage of QTP's Test Object
Model. It recognizes objects regardless of their position on -screen. This is the preferred mode of
recoding and is used for most of the automation activities.
Low-level recording mode: This mode records the exact x,y co-ordinates of your mouse
operations. It is helpful in testing hashmaps. It is useful for recording objects not identified by
normal mode of QTP.
Analog mode: This mode records exact mouse and keyboard "movements" you perform in
relation to the screen / application window. This mode is useful for the operation such as
drawing a picture, recording signature., drag and drop operations.

8) How will you call from one action to another action ?

We can call an action in 2 ways
1) Call to copy of Action. - In this ,the Action Object Repository , Script and Datable will be
copied to the destination Test Script.
2) Call to Existing Action. - In this, Object Repository , Script and Datable will NOT be copied
but a call (reference) would be made to the Action in the source script.
9) What are Virtual Objects?
Your application may contain objects that behave like standard objects but are not recognized by
QTP. You can define these objects as virtual objects and map them to standard classes, such as a
button or a check box. QTP emulates the user's action on the virtual object during the run
session. In the test results, the virtual object is displayed as though it is a standard class object.
For example, suppose you want to record a test on a Web page containing a bitmap that the user
clicks. The bitmap contains several different hyperlink areas, and each area opens a different
destination page. When you record a test, the Web site matches the coordinates of the click on
the bitmap and opens the destination page.
To enable QTP to click at the required coordinates during a run session, you can define a virtual
object for an area of the bitmap, which includes those coordinates, and map it to the button class.
When you run a test, QTP clicks the bitmap in the area defined as a virtual object so that the
Web site opens the correct destination page.
10) How to perform Cross platform testing and Cross browser testing using QTP? Can u
explain giving some example?
You will need to create separate Actions which take care of different OS and Browsers
Cross Platform Testing:

Using the Built in Environment Variable you can dig up the OS information.
Eg. Platform = Environment("OS"). Then based on the Platform you need to call the actions
which you recorded on that particular platform.

Cross Browser Testing:

Using this code Eg. Browser("Core Values").GetROProperty("version") you can extract the
Browser and its correspondin version. Ex: Internet Explorer 6 or Netscape 5. Based on this value
you call the actions which are relevant to that browser.
11) What is logical name of the object?
Logical name is a name given by QTP while creating an object in the repository to uniquely
identify it from other objects in the application. This name would be used by the QTP to map the
object name in script with its corresponding description in the object repository. Ex:
Browser("Browser").Page("Guru99") Here Guru99 is the logical name of the object.
12) What is descriptive programming?
Typically ,an object and its properties must be recorded in the Object Repository to enable QTP
to perform action s on it.
Using descriptive programming , you do not store the object and its property values in the Object
repository but mention the property value pair directly in the script.
The idea behind descriptive programming is not bypass the object repository but help recogonize
dynamic objects.

13)What are the properties you would use for identifying a browser & page when using
descriptive programming ?
You can use the name property
ex: Browser("name:="xxx"").page("name:="xxxx"").....

OR

We can also use the property "micClass".

ex: Browser("micClass:=browser").page("micClass:=page")....
14)Can we record an application running on a remote machine using QTP ?
Yes .you can record remote application provided you are accessing application through the local
browser not via remoter like citrix.
If you are still unable to record it is advisable install QTP and application, on the same machine
15) Explain the keyword CreateObject with an example.
Creates and returns a reference to an Automation object
SYNTAX: CreateObject(servername.typename [, location])
Arguments
servername: Required. The name of the application providing the object.
typename : Required. The type or class of the object to create.
location : Optional. The name of the network server where the object is to be created.

Example : Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

16) Can you switch between Per-Action and Shared Object Repository ? If yes how ?
Yes .We can switch. Go to Test--->Settings--->Resources. Here you have an option to choose
repositories.

17) What is Object Spy ? How to Use it ?

Object Spy helps in determining the run & test time object properties & methods of the
application under test.
You can access object spy directly from the toolbar or from the Object Repository Dialog Box.
It is very useful during Descriptive Programming

18) When ordinal identifiers alone can make an object unique then why they are not given
top priority? Why it is first mandatory and next assistive. Why we cannot go for ordinal
identifiers directly?
Consider the following -
a) If two objects are overlapped on each other than location based object recognition will fail.
b) If only index based recognition is used your script will work but script execution time will
increase.
Hence mandatory and assistive properties are used.
19) What is the file extension of the code file in QTP?
Code file extension is script.mts
20) Explain in brief about the QTP Automation Object Model.
QTP Automation Object model deals with Automation of QTP itself. Almost all configuration
and functionality provided by QTP is represented by QTP's Automation Object Model . Almost
all dialog boxes in QTP have a corresponding automation object which can set or retrieved using
the corresponding properties or methods in the Automation Object Model.QTP Automation
Objects can be used along with standard VB programming elements like iterative loops or
conditional statements to help you design a script of choice.
21) What is the use of Text output value in QTP?
Text Output values enable you to capture text appearing on the application under test during run-
time.
If parameterized, text output values will capture values appearing in each iteration which would
be stored in the run-time data table for further analysis.
22) What is Step Generator?
Step Generator enables use to Add Test Steps in your script. Using step generator you can add
steps to your script without actually recording it.
23) How to make QTP understand the difference amongst the same type of
objects .Suppose there are 5 check boxes in a page and I have to choose the 2nd one, how to
do that through script?
You can use ordinal identifiers like index along with a little descriptive programming for object
recognition.
24) What is Test Fusion Report ?.
Test Fusion Report , displays all aspects of a test run and is organized in a Tree format.
It gives details of each step executed for all iterations.
It also gives Run-time data table, Screen shots and movie of the test run if opted.
25) How can you handle exceptions in QTP?
In QTP Exceptional handling is done by using
a. Recovery Scenarios.
b. Using “On Error” statement
In Recovery scenario you have to define.
1. Triggered Events.
2. Recovery steps.
3. Post Recovery Test-Run.
At Script Level you can use the On Error Resume Next and On Error Go to 0 statement.
26) What are the types of environment variables in QTP ?
Environment variables in QTP are of three types:
1) Built-in (Read only)
2) User-defined Internal (Read only)
3) User-defined External (Read/Write)
You Set the Environment Variable using the following syntax
Environment.Value( "name") = "Guru99"
You can Retrieve the Environment Variable using following syntax
Environment.Value("name") -- This will retrun name as Guru99
Environment.Value("OS") -- This will return your system OS
27) What is the Difference between Bitmap Check point & Image Check point?
Bitmap checkpoint does a pixel to pixel comparison of an image or part of an image.
Image checkpoint does do a pixel to pixel comparison but instead compare image properties like
alt text , destination url etc.
28) What is the difference between functions and actions in QTP?
Actions have their own Object Repository & Data Table. Actions help make your Test modular
and increase reuse. Example: You can divide your script into Actions based on functionality like
Login, Logout etc.
Functions is a VB Script programming concept and do not have their own Object Repository or
Data Table. Functions help in re-use of your code. Ex: You can create a Function in your script
to concatenate two strings.
29) What is keyword view and Expert view in QTP?
Keyword View is an icon based view which shows test steps in tabular format. It also
automatically generates documentation for the test steps.
Expert View gives the corresponding VB Script statement for every test step in the Keyword
view.
30) Explain QTP Testing process? -
Quick Test testing process consists of 6 main phases:
1) Create your test plan - This is preparatory phase where you identify the exact test steps, test
data and expected results for you automated test. You also identify the environment and system
configurations required to create and run your QTP Tests.
2) Recording a session on your application - During this phase , you will execute test steps one
by one on your AUT ,and QTP will automatically record corresponding VB script statements for
each step performed.
3) Enhancing your test - In this stage you will insert checkpoints , output values ,
parameterization , programming logic like if…else loops to enhance the logic of your test script.
4) Replay & Debug - After enhancements you will replay the script to check whether its working
properly and debug if necessary.
5) Run your Tests - In this phase you will perform the actual execution of your Test Script.
6) Analyzing the test results - Once test run is complete, you will analyze the results in the Test
Fusion report generated.
7) Reporting defects - Any incidents identified needs to be reported. If you are
using Quality Center , defects can be automatically raised for failed tests in QTP.
31) What are the different types of Test Automation Frameworks ?
The types of Automation Frameworks are -
1) Linear Scripting - Record & Playback
2) The Test Library Architecture Framework.
3)The Data-Driven Testing Framework.
4)The Keyword-Driven or Table-Driven Testing Framework.

32) How will you check a web application for broken links using QTP?
You can use the Page Checkpoint which gives a count of valid/invalid links on a page.
33) What is a Run-Time Data Table? Where can I find and view this table?
Data like parameterized output , checkpoint values , output values are stored in the Run-time
Table. It is an xls file which is stored in the Test Results Folder. It can also be accessed in the
Test Fusion Report.
34) What is the difference between check point and output value.
Check point is a verification point that compares a current value for a specified property with the
expected value for that property. Based on this comparison, it will generate a PASS or FAIL
status.
An output value is a value captured during the test run and can be stored in a specified location
like the Datable or even a variable. Unlike Checkpoints, no PASS/FAIL status is generated.
35) How would you connect to database using vbscript ?
To connect to the database you must know
a) connection string of your server
b) username
c) password
d) DNS name
You can code the database connectivity command directly or you can use the SQL Query tool
provided by QTP.
36) What is QTP batch testing tool?
You can use the Batch testing tool to run multiple scripts. Once the scripts are added in the tool ,
it will automatically open the scripts and start executing them one after the other.
37) What are the drawbacks of QTP?
As of QTP version 10
1) Huge Tests in QTP consume lots of memory and increase CPU utilization.
2) Since QTP stores results in HTML file (and not txt) the result folder sometimes becomes big.
38) What is an Optional Step ?
A step when declared optional is not mandatory to be executed. If the corresponding GUI object
is present, QTP performs the operation on it. If the GUI object is not present, QTP bypasses the
optional step and proceeds to execute the next step.
39) What is Reporter.ReportEvent ?
Reporter.Reportvent is standard method provided by QTP to send custom messages to the test
results window.
Syntax
Reporter.ReportEvent EventStatus, ReportStepName, Details [, ImageFilePath]
where
EventStatus = 0 or micPass
1 or micFail
2 or micDone
3 or micWarning
Results can assume any status like Pass , Fail , Warning etc. You can also send screenshot to the
test results window.
40) How will you declare a variable in QTP ?
You declare using a DIM keyword. You assign value to the variable using the SET keyword.
Ex.
Dim temp 'Will declare the temp variable
Set temp = 20 ' Will assign a value 20 to temp.
41) What is GetRoProperty ?
GetRoProperty is a standard method provided by QTP to fetch property values of a run -time
object.
42) What is smart Identification?
Typically, if even one of the on-screen object property does not match the recorded object
property. The test fails.
In smart identification, QTP does not give an error if the property values do not match, but uses
Base filter and Optional Filter properties to uniquely identify an object. In Smart identification, if
a property value does not match the script does not fail but it proceeds ahead to compare the next
property. Smart identification can be enabled in Object Identification Dialog box.

43) How would you export a Script from one PC to another in QTP ?
We can make use of the "Generate Script" function available in Object Identification, Test
Settings and Tools/Options tab to create a zip of the script at the source computer. These zip files
then can be imported into QTP at the destination computer.
44) Can launch two instances of QTP on the same machine ?
No. You can work with only single instance of QTP on the same machine. But QTP itself can
work on multiple instances of the Application Under Test (AUT). Ex: QTP can handle multiple
IE browser windows.
45) Give the syntax to import/export xls into QTP.
DataTable.ImportSheet "..\..\TestData\Input.xls",1,dtGlobalSheet
DataTable.ExportSheet "..\..\Results\Output.xls","Global"
46) What is SetToProperty ?
SetToProperty changes property of an object stored in the Object Repository. However these
changes are not permanent.
47) What is the standard timing delay for web based application in QTP ?
The standard delay is 60 seconds. This is can be changed in Test Settigns.
48) What is the Action Conversion Tool ?
It is an in-built tool provided by QTP to convert Actions into Business Process Components.
49) What is the extension for a function library ?
The extension is '.QFL'
50) If the Global Data sheet contains no data and the Local Datasheet contains two rows of
data, how many times will the test iterate?
The test will iterate only once - global iteration.

 Edit one registry key “DisableLockWorkstation =1” to disable locking
57) What is descriptive programming in UFT means?
Descriptive programming includes property name and property value. Whenever UFT is facing
difficulty in identifying objects from object repository, and instead the object is directly
identified from the script is known as descriptive programming.
58) In UFT explain the difference between qfl and vbs files?
a) qfl is quick test function library file while vbs is Microsoft’s vbscript
b) qfl is a non-executable file while vbs is an executable file
c) To use file in UFT associate qfl file from test setting, while to include vbs file use
“execute file statement”

63) What are the types of Automation Framework in UFT?
In order to ease the process of test automation using UFT, test automation is designed. There are
mainly three types of automation frameworks in UFT
 Keyword Driven Framework: It is used when multiple functionality needs to be tested.
 Data Driven Framework: It is used to test same flow with different test data, test data is
given more importance than multiple functionality of application
 Hybrid Framework: It is a combination of data driven framework and keyword.
64) When we should use descriptive programming in UFT ?
Either through object repository or description programming, UFT identifies objects.
Descriptive programming is used in following scenarios
a) It is used to remove duplicate objects. Same objects exists in different screens or windows
of your application. If you use OR in this case you have to store same object under different
object hierarchy in OR. To deal with such situation, descriptive
programming is used
b) It is not appropriate in certain scenarios to store the objects inside OR (Object Repository).
Suppose if you want to print 100 links on the page, you should not store all links in OR. Instead
you should use Description Programming to access those links.
65) What is “settoproperty” and when to use it in UFT?
Settoproperty stands for set test object property. You can use this property to change the object
values at runtime. You can edit the property values during the runtime, but the changes that are
made are temporary.
66) How to create an array of dictionary in UFT?

ArrayofDictionary(0).Add "key2", "temp2"

Added keys in first dictionary

Second element of array as dictionary

Set ArrayofDictionary(1)= createobject("scripting.dictionary")

ArrayofDictionary(1).Add "key1", "temp1"

ArrayofDictionary(1).Add "key2", "temp2"

Added keys in second dictionary…..and so on

67) What is the difference between “Array” and “Dictionary”?

Array Dictionary
 Dynamic array is possible  There is no concept of dynamic dictionary
 Size of array must be set before the use of array The size of dictionary do not need to be set
 To add extra element there is no need to
 We have to use redim statement before adding
write any statement. We just use add
extra element into dynamic array
method
 There is no particular method to release the  Element which is not required any longer
memory if particular element is not required can be removed from the dictionary
68) What is round function in UFT?

To export data-table to excel, there are two methods.
a) DataTable.Export (“C:\export.xls”)
b) DataTable.ExportSheet “C:\mysheet.xls” ( If excel file does not exist, new file is created)
73) In datatable sheet in UFT, how to read a value from the cell?
To read a value from the cell, we follow 2 step process
a) We set the row pointer in first step
b) In second step we define the parameter/column name from the sheet to read
Example:
For this example, we have set the row pointer to 2 in transaction sheet
Datatable.GetSheet(“Transactions”).SetCurrentRow(2)
Now, we have to specify that we want to read a value from the module_name column from the
transaction sheet
Print datatable.Value (“Module_Name, “Transactions”)
74) What are the loops available in UFT and what they do?
There are 3 loops available in UFT
a) Do…..Loop : Do Loop will run a block of statements repeatedly

Exitaction is used when we want to exit from a particular action, while exititeration is used to
exit from a particular action iteration of an action.
78) In QTP how you can remove the spaces from string?
You can use replace function to remove spaces from string in QTP
Print replace(“ sdsd sd sd s “, “ “,”””)
Output will be sdsdsdsds
Itrim function can be used if only leading spaces from string needs to be removed

80) How to add synchronisation points in QTP?
There are 4 ways through which we can add synchronisation points in QTP
a) Wait statement : This statement will pause the execution for x seconds until object comes
up
b) Wait property : This method will wait until property of object takes particular value
c) Exist statement : This statement will wait until object becomes available
d) Sync method: The code will wait until browser page is completely loaded. For web
application testing this method is used.
81) In QTP explain what is crypt object
Crypt object in QTP is used to encrypt a strings.
Syntax
Crypt.Encrypt(“Guru99”)
Example :
In this example, value in pwd variable is encrypted using the Crypt. Encrypt method.
Then this encrypted value is entered into editbox.
pwd= “myvalue”

pwd = Crypt.Encrypt (pwd)

Browser(“myb”).WinEdit (“pwd”). SetSecure pwd

82) Mention what is the difference between Excecute file and loadfunction library ?
In execute file, we can’t debug the statements. With loadfunction library, statements can be
debug and can also load multiple library files.
83) Explain how you can find length of array in QTP?
The code to find the length of array in QTP is
print (ubound(arr)+1)
Ubound returns the last index in array- so length of array will be +1. This will be total number of
elements in array
84) Mention what are the different types of recording modes in QTP? Which will be used
when?
QTP supports 3 types of recording modes
a) Normal mode : It is the default recording mode and used for most of the automation
activities. Regardless of their position on screen it recognizes objects.
b) Low level recording mode: It is useful for recording objects not identified by normal mode
of QTP. It records the exact x,y coordinates of your mouse operations.
c) Analog mode: This mode is useful for the operation such as recording signature, drawing a
picture, drag and drop operation.
85) In what ways you can call from one action to another action?
There are two ways you can call from one action to another action
a) Call to copy of action: In this, the script and data-table, action object repository will be
copied to the destination Test Script
b) Call to existing Action: In this, script data-table and object repository are not copied
instead a call reference would be made to the action in the source script
86) What is Optional step in QTP ? How you can add optional step in QTP?
When running a test, it test fails in opening a dialog box, QTP does not necessarily abort the test
run. It bye passes any step designated “optional” and continues running the test. By default
QTP automatically marks as optional steps that open certain dialog boxes. In order to set an
optional step in the keyword, right click and select “Optional Step”. The icon for optional step
would be added in next step. In the expert view to add optional step, add optional step to the
beginning of the VBScript statement.
87) How to define array in QTP?
Array can be defined in 3 ways in QTP
a) Fixed size array in QTP
Dim A (10) - single dimension
Dim MyTable (5,10) – multi-dimension
b) Dynamic array-size not fixed
Dim MyArray()ReDim MyArray(25)
c) Using Array Function in QTP
A= Array (10, 20,30)
B= A(2) ‘ B is now 30
88) How you can write contexts to text file in QTP?
Content = “Guru99”

Set Fo = createobject(“Scripting.FilesystemObject”)

Set f =Fo.openTextFile(“c:\abc.txt”, 8,true)

f.Write (contents)

f.Close

Set f= nothing

89) When ‘option explicit’ keyword is used in QTP?

To specify that all variable must be declared before use in QTP, ‘Option Explicit’ keyword is
used.
90) In QTP how you can exit for loop?
You must use “Exit For” statement to exit “for loop” in QTP. “Exit For” statement will get the
control out of the “for loop”
For count= 1 to 3

TempNum= mid(Tempstr,count,1)

If isnumeric(TempNum) Then

LenghtNum = LengthNum & TempNum

Else

Exit For

End If

Next

GetStrLenNumber = LengthNum

91) How to find array size in QTP?

Size of an array in QTP will be found by using the following code
Print (ubound(arr)+1)
Ubound returns the last index in array- so size of array will be +1
92) In QTP, explain what is qrs file?
qrs means “Quicktest Recovery Scenario”. By using recovery scenario manager we can handle
exceptions in test execution.In QTP using recovery scenario manager we can handle exceptions
in test execution. In QTP when you create a recovery scenario, you must save it in .qrs file. qrs
file may have any number of scenarios defined in it.
93) What is the significance of “action 0” in QTP?
“Action 0” is created by default when you create a new test in QTP along with action 1. To
determine the sequence in which we call other actions 1,2,3 etc. action 0 is used.
94) Explain how you can replace string in QTP?
To replace part of string in QTP we will use the code as shown below
Example,
Str = (Guru99)

Suppose if you want to replace “99” with “88” then the code will

print replace(str,“99”, “88”) output will be “Guru88”

95) What are the various automation frameworks available in QTP?

Various types of automation frameworks available in QTP are
a) Linear Scripting
b) The Test Library Architecture Framework
c) The Data Driven Testing Framework
d) The Keyword Driven or Table Driven Testing Framework
e) The Hybrid Test Automation Framework
96) What is ‘Object Spy’ and what is the function of object spy in QTP?
‘Object Spy’ is a feature in QTP by using which you can view both the test and run time object
properties and methods.
97) What is “GetROProperty” and what are the steps involved in using GetROProperty?
“GetROProperty” is an in built method used to retrieve runtime value of an object property.
To use GetRoProperty it involves four steps
a) Record the object on which you want to use the GetROProperty in Object Repository
b) Identify the run time property for the recorded object which could be used
c) To retrieve the identified run time property and store the value in a variable
d) Use this value for further deductions
98) Explain how you can find the absolute value of the number in QTP?
To find out the absolute value of a number a built in function in QTP is available
Example- a= -1

Print abs(a) ‘output will be 1

This code will find the absolute value of a number

99) How you can check if parameter exists in Datatable?
To check whether if parameter exists in data table we will use the code
on error resume next

val=DataTable(“ParamName”, dtGlobalSheet)

if err.number<>0 then

‘Parameter does not exist’

else

‘Parameter exists

end if

100) In QTP explain what is keyword driven automation framework?

In keyword driven automation framework, the focus is mainly on keywords/functions and not the
test data. It means the complete focus is on creating functions which maps the functionality of
the application.
101) In QTP how you can use Xpath to identify objects?
Xpath can be used to identify only web objects. We can use the following code to identify
objects.
Set oPage=Browser(“myGoogle”).Page(“myGoogle”)

oPage.WebEdit(“xpath:=//INPUT[@name=‘nameofeditbox’]”).Set “search term”

‘Enter value in google edit box

102) Explain how you can delete excel file in QTP? To delete excel file in QTP, Set fo =
createobject(“Scripting.filesystemobject”) fo.deletefile(“C:\xyz.xlsx”) Set fo=nothing
103) What factors affect bitmap checkpoints ?
Bitmap checkpoints are affected by screen resolution and image size.
104) What is Accessibility Checkpoint?
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) came up with some instructions and guidelines for Web-
based technology and information systems to make it easy for the disabled to access the web. For
example the standards make it mandatory to have an 'alt text' for an image. So a blind person
who is accessing the website, will use text - to -speech converters and atleast understand what
the image is about if not see it. All these standards are checked by Accessibility Checkpoints.
