2. QuickTest Professional Workflow Gather relevant test information What are the test requirements? Where can I get data to use? Create basic test Record user actions Verify successful playback Enhance basic test Insert checkpoints Data drive the test Integrate tests Correlate data Build Integration Test Scenarios Plan 1 Create 2 Verify & Enhance 3 Integrate 4

3. Lesson Objectives In this lesson, you will:  Set up the QuickTest environment for record and playback  Select the correct addins to load from the Addin Manager  Select the ActiveScreen capture level  Configure the record and run settings  Create a basic test from a manual test case  Playback a test  Save a test (two locations)  Set initial and end conditions in a test

4. Set Up the QuickTest Professional Work Environment What are the environments and objects in the application under test? Is it Windows, Web, SAP or Terminal Emulator? Does it use Java, ActiveX, plain HTML, Visual Basic? What are the available add- ins in the Add-in Manager that I need to select? How much information should the test capture into the ActiveScreen? What are the proper record and run settings I need to configure?

5. Instructor Demo and Discussion: Setup for recording a new test Add-In Manager dialog Record and Run Settings dialog ActiveScreen Capture Level Setting dialog Discuss the different icons and commands on the QuickTest Professional workspace Note: Screenshots of each topic are included in the student book.

6. Record User Actions IMPORTANT: Follow the user actions listed in the test case. Make sure you have the correct sample data for a complete and successful transaction. Note: QuickTest has three recording modes. Analog and Low-level will be discussed in detail in Chapter 13. Action1 Empty Tree View Empty ActiveScreen

7. Test Step and Active Screen Each selected step in the Tree View highlights the captured object in the ActiveScreen Each step comprises of the recorded object, the method (action performed on the object), and if applicable, the value entered through the action. “Fly From” Select “Los Angeles” Objectmethod value entered

11. Best Practice: Setting Initial and End Conditions Edit information Update Record Update Record Open a record  During test planning, identify the starting and ending point for each test case.  Allows a test case to iterate successfully  Enables test case independence Insert New Sale Input Data Submit Information
