QTP Basics

QuickTest Professional I) Introduction Test Automation Disadvantages of Manual Testing Advantages of Test Automation Drawbacks of Test Automation Types of Test Automation Functional Test Automation Types of Test Tool Functional & Regression Testing Tools History of QTP Basic Features of QTP Installation process of QTP II) QuickTest Window / Key Elements of QTP Test Pane Active Screen Data Table Debug viewer Information pane Missing Resources pane QTP Tool bars QTP Menu items / QTP commands Tool Settings III) Object Repository Software objects Types of object in QTP Runtime Objects Test Objects Utility Objects Automation Objects Object Repository Local Repository Shared Repository Operations on Object Repository Adding Objects Renaming Objects Deleting Objects Associating Object Repositories to an Action Exporting Local Objects Merging Repositories View Options Spying Objects Importing and Exporting Repositories using XML IV) QTP Testing Process Planning Analyzing the AUT
