UFT Settings
•Global Testing Options
Global testing options affect both how to work with tests
and the general appearance of UFT. For example, choose not to display the Start
Page when UFT starts, or set the timing-related settings used by UFT when
running a test. The values set remain in effect for all tests and for
subsequent testing sessions.
Set global testing options using the Options dialog box
(Tools >> Options) or by inserting statements in the Expert View.
•Individual Test Settings
Use the Test Settings dialog box to set testing options that
affect how UFT works with a specific test. For example, instruct UFT to run a
parameterized test for only certain lines in the data table. The individual
testing options specified are saved when a test is saved.
Set Individual Test settings using the Settings dialog box
(File > Settings )
Phases in Quick Test/UFT testing process
1.PREPARING TO RECORD
oBefore recording a test, confirm that application and Quick
Test/UFT are set to match the needs of your test.
2.RECORDING A SESSION ON THE APPLICATION
oNavigate through the application or Web site, Quick
Test/UFT graphically displays each step that is performed as a row in the
Keyword View
3.ENHANCING THE TEST
oInserting checkpoints to search for a specific value of a
page, object, or text string, which helps in determining whether application or
site is functioning correctly.
oParameterize the code to check that application performs
the same operations with multiple sets of data.
oAdding logic and conditional or loop statements to add sophisticated
checks in the test.
Recording Modes
Normal Recording Mode
oRecording based on events performed on the objects in the
User Interface.
oDefault recording mode, is it also known as context
sensitive.
oRecognizes objects in application regardless of their
location on the screen.
Analog Recording
oAnalog recording is used for applications in which the
actual movement of the mouse needs to be recorded. E.g. Drawing a mouse
signature or working with drawing applications that create images by dragging
the mouse.
oThe track of the operations recorded are stored in an
external data file.
oUFT adds to your test action or scripted component a single
RunAnalog statement that calls the recorded analog file. You cannot edit analog
recording steps from within UFT
oTypes of Analog Recording:
oRecord relative to a specified window
oRecord relative to the screen
Low Level Recording
oLow-Level Recording is used when the need is to record the
exact location of the operation on your application screen
oAll the keyboard input and mouse clicks are recorded
based on coordinates(X,Y)
Insight Recording Mode
oThis mode enables you to record on any control (object) displayed
on your screen, whether or not UFT recognizes the object's technology.
oYou can switch to Insight recording in the middle of a
recording session for specific steps.
oUFT recognizes controls based on their appearance, and not
their native properties.
Running Test Script
•Run – Execute UFT Test Script
•RUN FROM : Run a selected part of your test. Enables you to
check a specific section of your application or to confirm that a certain part
of your test runs smoothly.
•RUN TO: You can instruct UFT to run from the beginning of
the test or action (Expert View only)—or from the current location in the test
or action—and to stop at a particular step.
•DEBUG FROM STEP: can begin debugging from a specific step
in your test or action when editing a test or action.
•RUN CURRENT ACTION option to run a single action in your
test.
Update Run Mode - Updates the test object description,
Checkpoints properties, active screen images and values.
Maintenance Run Mode - UFT identifies discrepancies between
the objects in the repository and those in your application and then offers a
solution for updating your objects and steps in real time.
Analyzing Test Results
•When a run session ends, view the run session results in
the Test Results window.
•The Test Results window contains a description of the steps
performed during the run session. For a test that does not contain Data Table
parameters, the Test Results window shows a single test iteration.
•If the test contains Data Table parameters, and the test
settings are configured to run multiple iterations, the Test Results window
displays details for each iteration of the test run.
•The results are grouped by the actions in the test.
•Filters can be used to filter down only failed, passed,
warning result nodes.
