Explain QTP Testing process ?

The QuickTest testing process consists of 6 main phases:

1. Create your test plan

Prior to automating there should be a detailed description of the test including the exact steps to follow, data to be input, and all items to be verified by the test.  The verification information should include both data validations and existence or state verifications of objects in the application.

2. Recording a session on your application

As you navigate through your application, QuickTest graphically displays each step you perform in the form of a collapsible icon-based test tree. A step is any user action that causes or makes a change in your site, such as clicking a link or image, or entering data in a form.

2. Enhancing your test
• Inserting checkpoints into your test lets you search for a specific value of a page, object or text string, which helps you identify whether or not your application is functioning correctly.

NOTE:  Checkpoints can be added to a test as you record it or after the fact via the Active Screen.  It is much easier and faster to add the checkpoints during the recording process.

• Broadening the scope of your test by replacing fixed values with parameters lets you check how your application performs the same operations with multiple sets of data.
• Adding logic and conditional statements to your test enables you to add sophisticated checks to your test.

3. Debugging your test

If changes were made to the script, you need to debug it to check that it operates smoothly and without interruption.

4. Running your test on a new version of your application

You run a test to check the behavior of your application. While running, QuickTest connects to your application and performs each step in your test.

5. Analyzing the test results

You examine the test results to pinpoint defects in your application.

6. Reporting defects

As you encounter failures in the application when analyzing test results, you will create defect reports in Defect Reporting Tool.
