Synchronization pointsSynchronization pointsSynchronization in QTPSynchronization in QTPWhen you run a test, your application may not When you run a test, your application may not always respond with the same speed. For always respond with the same speed. For example, it may take a few secondsexample, it may take a few seconds· For the progress bar to reach 100 %· For the progress bar to reach 100 %· For the status message to appear· For the status message to appear· For a button to become enabled· For a button to become enabledYou can handle these anticipated timing You can handle these anticipated timing problems by synchronizing your test to ensure problems by synchronizing your test to ensure that QuickTest waits until your application is that QuickTest waits until your application is ready before performing a certain step.ready before performing a certain step.

Synchronization pointsSynchronization pointsThere are several options for synchronization in There are several options for synchronization in QTP:QTP:Synchronization Point: are inserted while Synchronization Point: are inserted while recording a script using the following pathrecording a script using the following pathInsert > Synchronization pointInsert > Synchronization pointInserting a synchronization point instructs QTP to Inserting a synchronization point instructs QTP to pause the test until an object property achieves the pause the test until an object property achieves the value you specify. Inserting a synchronization value you specify. Inserting a synchronization point basically inserts a WaitProperty statement in point basically inserts a WaitProperty statement in codecodeQTPObject.WaitProerty “Property Name”, QTPObject.WaitProerty “Property Name”, ”Expected Value”, Time to wait in milliseconds”Expected Value”, Time to wait in milliseconds


Exist or Wait statement: instructs QTP to Exist or Wait statement: instructs QTP to wait until an object exists or to wait for a wait until an object exists or to wait for a specified time before continuing the test.specified time before continuing the test.While the wait statement forces QTP to While the wait statement forces QTP to wait for the specified time, the Exist wait for the specified time, the Exist checks for the existence of an object and checks for the existence of an object and returns a Boolean value. returns a Boolean value.

Timeout Value Modification: If you find Timeout Value Modification: If you find that, in general, the amount of time that, in general, the amount of time QuickTest waits for objects to appear or for QuickTest waits for objects to appear or for an object to navigate to a specified page is an object to navigate to a specified page is not sufficient, you can increase the default not sufficient, you can increase the default object synchronization timeout values for object synchronization timeout values for your test and the browser navigation your test and the browser navigation timeout values for your test.timeout values for your test.


When working with tests, to modify the When working with tests, to modify the maximum amount of time that QTP waits for maximum amount of time that QTP waits for an object to appear, change the object an object to appear, change the object synchronization timeout in File -> Settings -> synchronization timeout in File -> Settings -> Run paneRun paneTo modify the amount of time that QTP waits To modify the amount of time that QTP waits for a web page to laod, change the browser for a web page to laod, change the browser navigation timeout in the File -> Settings -> navigation timeout in the File -> Settings -> Web Pane.Web Pane.

Modes of RecordingModes of RecordingQTP supports three types of recording modes. QTP supports three types of recording modes. They are:They are:1) Normal recording mode1) Normal recording mode2) Analog Recording2) Analog Recording3) Low Level Recording3) Low Level Recording1) Normal recording mode records the objects in 1) Normal recording mode records the objects in your application and the operations performed your application and the operations performed on them. This mode is the default and takes full on them. This mode is the default and takes full advantage of the QuickTest test object model, advantage of the QuickTest test object model, recognizing the objects in your application recognizing the objects in your application regardless of their location on the screen.regardless of their location on the screen.

Modes of RecordingModes of RecordingHP Quick Test Pro offers three recording modes with HP Quick Test Pro offers three recording modes with Normal as default. The basics of the recording modes Normal as default. The basics of the recording modes are describe as follows:are describe as follows:Normal Recording:Normal Recording:Default recording mode.Default recording mode.Learns a GUI object properties, and stores them in Learns a GUI object properties, and stores them in the object repository.the object repository.Does not depend on window coordinates, desktop Does not depend on window coordinates, desktop coordinates, or screen resulation for successful coordinates, or screen resulation for successful playback.playback.Records only a step for each action or operation on Records only a step for each action or operation on an object.an object.


Analog Recording ModeAnalog Recording Mode In analog recording mode, Quick Test In analog recording mode, Quick Test Professional Professional records and tracks every records and tracks every movementmovement of the mouseof the mouse as you drag the mouse as you drag the mouse around a screen or window.around a screen or window.QTP’s Analog recording is QTP’s Analog recording is captured as captured as TracksTracks and stored in the directory of your test and stored in the directory of your testIt is useful for recording operations that cannot be It is useful for recording operations that cannot be recorded at the level of an object. Ex., A signature recorded at the level of an object. Ex., A signature produced by dragging the mouse.produced by dragging the mouse.


2) Analog Recording. Enables you to 2) Analog Recording. Enables you to record the exact mouse and keyboard record the exact mouse and keyboard operations you perform in relation to operations you perform in relation to either the screen or the application either the screen or the application window. In this recording mode, window.

3) Low Level Recording. Enables you to 3) Low Level Recording. Enables you to record on any object in your application, record on any object in your application, whether or not QuickTest recognizes the whether or not QuickTest recognizes the specific object or the specific operation. This specific object or the specific operation. This mode records at the object level and records all mode records at the object level and records all run-time objects as Window or WinObject test run-time objects as Window or WinObject test objects. Use low-level recording for recording objects. Use low-level recording for recording in an environment or on an object not in an environment or on an object not recognized by QuickTest. You can also use recognized by QuickTest. You can also use low-level recording if the exact coordinates of low-level recording if the exact coordinates of the object are important for your test.the object are important for your test.


Low-level Recording:Low-level Recording:Learns the object into the Window class or the Learns the object into the Window class or the WinObject class along with their attributes WinObject class along with their attributes and stores this information in the object and stores this information in the object repository.repository.Records only mouse clicks, drag and drop, and Records only mouse clicks, drag and drop, and type operations on an object.type operations on an object.Records only a step for each action or Records only a step for each action or operation on an object.operation on an object.

SummarySummary

Analog recording and low-level recording Analog recording and low-level recording require more disk space than normal require more disk space than normal recording mode.recording mode.

For both modes , screen positions during the For both modes , screen positions during the record and run time needs to be identical record and run time needs to be identical otherwise script fails.otherwise script fails.


SummarySummary

Hence, Use analog recording or low-level Hence, Use analog recording or low-level recording only when normal recording mode recording only when normal recording mode does not accurately record your operation.does not accurately record your operation.

At times QTP automatically switches to low At times QTP automatically switches to low level mode while recording objects or level mode while recording objects or environments not supported by QTP.environments not supported by QTP.
