QTP Chapter IV

                                                            Chapter - 4

Object Repository: -
            It is a storage place, where we store objects and their information
Note: - Before designing or executing a test script we need to add objects to Object Repository for recognition of
objects by QTP. Else QTP is not able to understand the objects displayed the errors while executing the script
Navigation: - Resource menu Object Repository select
Or Click Object Repository
Or Cntrl + R
Application under test [AUT]: -It means which application we need to test is called AUT.
Adding Objects to Object Repository: -
We can add objects to Object Repository by manually or by Recording
Adding Objects to Object Repository By Manually: -
Open Application under test [AUT] Open Object Repository Click Ad Objects to local icon
Select required object with the help of handler pointer
Click OK button If it is parent object displays Filter Options [Selected objects only, Default Object
Types, All Object Types, Selected Object Types] Select required option Click OK Button.
Note: - Every Action maintains individual Object Repository in Object Repository
Options in Object Repository: -
We have Operations as follows
ADD: - We can add objects to Object Repository by manually or by Recording
Rename: - Open Object Repository Right Click on required object Select Rename
Delete: - Open Object Repository Right Click on required object Select Delete  Check YES in
Confirmation
Note-1: - Before executing the script, we make sure that the AUT is open
Note-2: - If we Re-name the Object name in Object Repository it affects to test script
Note-3: - If we do any modification on objects in test script it will not/ doesn’t affect to Object Repository
Note-4: - If we save a test script Object Repository also saves for the same test script
Note-5: - We can drag objects from Object Repository to test script. We write test script in Keyword View.

Types of Object Repository: -

 We have two types of Object Repository
1. Local Action (or) per Action Object Repository
2. Shared Object Repository

Local Action (or) per Action Object Repository: -
Maintaining Repositories in Action independent is called as Local Action (or) Per Action Object
Repository.

Ex: - Objects A1R (Action Repository)
Objects >A2R (Action Repository)
Objects >A3R (Action Repository)
Note1: - Local repository saves the file with “.mtr” [Mercury Test Repository] while save the script
Shared Objects Repository: -
Creating and maintaining a single repository for multiple actions called as

Shared Object Repository. EX: -
Creating Shared

Creating Shared Object Repository: -
Open AUTOpen Object RepositoryAdd object to Object RepositoryFileExport Local
ObjectsSave the file in required path with “.tsr” [Test Shared Repository]
After creating a shared ObjectRepository we need to associate to required test script for use.
 We can associate in bellow ways
1. By Navigation
2. By Scripting

By Navigation: -
Open required test scriptRepositoryAssociate RepositoriesClick Add ButtonBrowse and Open
SOR [Shared Object Repository]select Required Actionclick OK button

By Scripting: -
Syntax: - RepositoriesCollection.Add “SOR File Path”
Ex: - RepositoriesCollection.Add “D:\suresh\OR\xxxx.tsr”

Note1: - RepositoriesCollection.Add is a static association i.e. if we write the statement in action, then it associate to
action1 Repository
Note2: - After script execution SOR disassociate by default.
Note3: -For better maintenance we use only one shared object repository.

Working with Shared Object Repository/ Operations in SOR: -
Directly we are not able to modify any operations on SOR file. We use Object Repository Manager [ORM].
Navigation: -Resource Menuobject Repository ManagerClick open folder iconBrows and open required SOR
fileclick Enable edit Iconperform required operations (Add, Rename, Delete)on ObjectsClick Save.
Note: - if we do any modification in SOR file it changes in all associated object repositories.

Merging Shared Object Repository: - [we won’t use]
Navigation: -Resources menu select ORM Toolsselect Object Repository Merge toolBrowse and Open
primary and secondary filesclick save icon save the file .tsr
Types of Objects
With respect to OR we have 2 types of objects.
1. Test objects
2. Runtime Object
Test Object: -Objects which are in OR are called as test objects.
Runtime Objects: - objects which are in AUT are called as runtime objects.
Note: - Every Test object is a run time object.
Note: - Every runtime object may or may not be a test object

Working with Test Objects: -

1. GetToProperty()
2. GetToProperties()
3. SetToProperty()

GetToProperty (): -
It is used to retrieve test object given, property value during run time.

Syntax: - .GetTOProperty(“”)
Ex: - MsgBox dialog(“login”).WinButton(“Help”).GetTOProperty (“Text”) ‘Returns Help

MsgBox Dialog(“login”).GetToProperty(“text”)
Note: - 1. If given property is invalid or not available in Object Repository. It retrieves EMPTY.
2. Property names are not case sensitive
GetTOProperties(): -
It is used to retrieve multiple property names and its values for a test object, from OR during run time.
Ex: - MsgBox Dialog(“login”).GetTOProperties() ‘ Returns ERROR {Script 2 is an example for this}

Script No 2: - Write a script to retrieve property names and values per a login object
Set sPropertyLst = Dialog("Login").GetTOProperties
'MsgBox sPropertyLst.Count
For index = 0 To sPropertyLst.Count-1
Print sPropertyLst(index).Name & VbTab & sPropertyLst(index).Value
Next
Set sPropertyLst = Nothing
SetTOProperty(): -
It is used to change the test object property values during run time.
Whenever object properties are changing at runtime we use this method:
Syntax: - .SetTOProperty “”, “”
Ex: - Dialog(“login”). SetTOProperty “text”,”sreekar”

Working with Run Time Objects: -
GetROProperty(): -
It used to retrieve run time object property value during run time
Syntax: - .GetROProperty(“”)
Ex: - MsgBox Dialog(“login”).GetROProperty(“text”)
[Above code will retrieve QTP identified properties {in object spy}]
Note: -*** If we want to retrieve Native Properties for an object we use “Object()”
Syntax: - .Object (“”)
[Native Properties are developers given properties {in object spy}]
Work Out: - Go through the button, text box, browser, page, link for Identified Properties and Native Properties

Adding objects to OR by Run Time
Types of Recording: -
1. Normal or Standard Recording
2. Analog Recording
3. Low-Level Recording

Normal or Standard: - It is used to record standard objects like Window, Web, VB, Java, Dot Net…Etc.
Navigation: - Open application (AUT) Record Buttonselect desired environment (Web/ Windows)
Click Apply Click OK perform operations on AUT click Stop observe that script is generated in
test pane and respective objects added in OR.

Analog Recording: -
Analog recording is used to record diagrams, signatures, graphs…etc. It generates a single statement for
every start and stop recording.

Navigation:- Open AUTClick Recording in QTPSelect Environment window or webClick
OKSelect Analog Recording from Automation MenuSelect Record relative to the following window
radio buttonwith help of handler point select AUTClick start analog record buttonperform
operationClick Stop Recording in QTP.

Low-Level Recording: - It is used to record minimum operations on non-supported environments
Navigation: -Open AUTClick Record in QTPSelect desired EnvironmentWeb/WindowsSelect
Low Level Recording from Automation MenuPerform operations on AUTclick STOP Recording.
