7 Stages of QTP Testing Process

1) Planning

o Analyzing the AUT

o Automation Test Plan Generation

o Automation Framework Implementation

o Generating/Selecting Test cases for Automation

o Collecting Test Data

o QTP Tool Settings Configuration

2) Generating Tests

o Recording

o Keyword driven methodology

o Descriptive Programming

3) Enhancing Tests

o Inserting Checkpoints

o Inserting Output values

o Adding Comments

o Synchronization

o Parameterization

o Inserting Flow Control Statements

o Calling User defined functions and/or Reusable Actions

o Generating Steps though Step Generator

o Inserting Transaction Points

o Regular Expressions

4) Debugging Tests

o Debug Commands & Break Points

o Step by step execution

o Watching Variables

o Changing values of variables

5) Running Tests

o Normal Execution

o Batch Execution

o Through AOM Scripting

o Tests Running through framework

o Scheduled Execution

6) Analyzing Results

o QTP Result window

o Defining our own Results

o Exporting Results

o Deleting Results

7) Reporting Defects

o Manual Defect Reporting

o Tool based Defect Reporting

o Working with Quality Center
