Get and Compare Runtime URLs using QTP

This article will help you in getting the run-time URL of your website and comparing with user defined i.e from datatable, if that is correct it logs into the application otherwise exits the application

When you are automating your application using QTP, you might have to deal with multiple URLs, i.e. if your application is deployed on multiple Servers / Environments, every time you run your script, it has to be configured with correct credentials.

Here is a quick function that can be applicable in all such conditions. Make a VBS file. Open notepad, copy the below code and save the file with .vbs extension, Now provide login credentials, i.e. username and password in your datatable and Call the function we just made.

'''''Function Declaration
Public Function FunctionName() 

'''''Gets the runtime URL and assign the value in the variable
browserURL=Browser("title:=page title").Page("url:=page url").GetROProperty("URL")  

'''''Click on the Login button
Browser("title:=page title").Page("url:=page url").Image("File name:=login_btn.png").Click 
wait 10 

'''''Check variable value with the user defined value (Use first page name)
If instr(browserURL, "Dashboard") < 0 Then 
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Login success", "Correct credentials. Authenticated successfully" 

''''''Check invalid credentials input
Elseif (Browser("title:=login page title").Exist(1)) then 
Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Invalid credentials provided", "Incorrect credentials" 

'''''Close browser and Exits the test 
Browser("title:=http.*://.*Login.aspx.*").close 
ExitTest

End If
End Function

Hope it helps. Enjoy scripting :)

LoadRunner Controller

Image
This is my second post from the HP LoadRunner series. As I discussed earlier, here I will be discussing an overview of LoadRunner Controller . So before going into detail, let me recap the prerequisites. Create script – Checked Replay Script – Checked Updating script if required (Add transaction, Parameterization and Content Check) – Checked  Runtime settings and Iterations – Checked Assuming the script is absolutely fine i.e. error free and ready to be passed on Controller, let us get familiar with the UI first. I will be using LoadRunner 9.5, the screens may vary at your end depending on the version you are using.   The UI The Controller has a Title bar, Menu bar, tool bar and a Status bar. After these we have multiple sections or panes.   The first is Scenario Groups pane. We can add multiple scripts or a single script and name them as a Group.  Next is Scenario schedule, here we define how the load will be passed and executed. We have two types of scenario group.

All about Dates using QTP

Majority of applications have Calendars controls. Automating a calendar can be painful at times if the textbox is disabled, and it only works if you select the date from the calendar widget provided on your website/application. I have been working on date controls for couple of months so thought about sharing all the findings with you people. So here i am summarizing some of the checks which can be handy working on date/Calendar controls. '''''' '''''' Compare start and End date For comparing end date validation, set today's date using Date function in start date textbox and set previous date in end date, and check if the validation is fired.   '''''startdate - set as todays date using 'date' Browser("").Page("").WebEdit("").Set Date '''''End date, set prev 5 days date Browser("").Page("").WebEdit("").Set DateAdd("

Working with WebRadioGroup

QTP WebRadioGroup means a radio button on the web page. Identifying and working with them can be easy or difficult. Sometimes they works out fine and at times executing the same code gives you error. If you have two radio buttons on the screen for example Gender selection options the code below might give problem. Browser("").Page("").WebRadioGroup("").Select "M" Where "M" can be the id or the value of the radio button (Spy the object). So what is the problem in the code above? As there are two radio buttons QTP identifies them as same, so we need to differentiate between them. Index is a property by which you can differentiate, it tells the position of the object. So if we write the same code below with an additional index property it will work fine. Browser("").Page("").WebRadioGroup("html id:=" ,"index:= 1").Select "M". This code is intended to select a radio button among two, what
