QTP Interview Q and A

1.What is Quick test pro?

It’s Mercury interactive keyword driven testing tool

2.By using QTP what kind of applications we can test?

By using QTP we can test standard windows applications, Web objects, ActiveX controls, and Visual basic applications.

3.What is called as test?

Test is a collection of steps organized into one or more actions, which are used to verify that your application performs as expected

4.What is the meaning of business component?

It’s a collection of steps representing a single task in your application. Business components are combined into specific scenario to build business process tests in Mercury Quality center with Business process testing

5.How the test will be created in QTP?

As we navigate through our application, QTP records each step we perform and generates a test or component that graphically displays theses steps in a table-based keyword view.

6.What are all the main tasks, which will be accomplished by the QTP after creating a test?

After we have finished recording, we can instruct QTP to check the properties of specific objects in our application by means of enhancement features available in QTP. When we perform a run session, QTP performs each step in our test or component. After the run session ends, we can view a report detailing which steps were performed, and which one succeeded or failed.

7.What is Actions?

A test is composed of actions. The steps we add to a test are included with in the test's actions. By each test begin with a single action. We can divide our test into multiple actions to organize our test.

8.What is a Run-Time data table?

The test results tree also includes the table-shaped icon that displays the run-time data table-a table that shows the values used to run a test containing data table parameters or the data table output values retrieved from an application under test

9.What are all the components of QTP test script?

QTP test script is a combination of VB script statements and statements that use QuickTest test objects, methods and properties

10. What is test object?

It’s an object that QTP uses to represent an object in our application. Each test object has one or more methods and properties that we can use to perform operations and retrieve values for that object. Each object also has a number of identification properties that can describe the object.

Unit Testing

A unit test is a procedure used to verify that a particular module of source code is working properly. The idea about unit tests is to write test cases for all functions and methods so that whenever a change causes a regression, it can be quickly identified and fixed. Ideally, each test case is separate from the others; constructs such as mock objectscan assist in separating unit tests. This type of testing is mostly done by the developers and not by end-users.

Types of Testing

1. Unit Testing
2. Integration Testing
3. System Testing
4. Regression Testing
5. Load Testing

11. User Acceptance Testing
12. Black Box Testing
13. White Box Testing
14. Glass Box Testing
15. Fuzz Testing

Define: Testing

Testing is the process of exercising or evaluating a system or a component by manual or automated, to verify that it satisfies the specified requirements.
