Answer / sowmya

i think there is only
1.call to new action -- creates new action
2.call to copy of action -- copies existing action and we
can modify that and the original one will not change
3.call to existing action -- calls existing action action
and we can't change the script, in the called action

and there is no "call to action" and we can chage the
script and we can change the original one too.

let me know if i am wrong.

Answer / subhan.qa

call to action : the changes made in call to action, will be
reflected in original action(from where the script is
called).But where as in call to copy Action , the changes
made in the script will not effect the original
script(Action).call an existing action means calling a
reusable action that is stored in same test or in some other
test wich is like a function call.

Sowmya,

You are right. We should use the Call to Copy of action
only when we need the change the code and if there is no
change needed we can use Call to existing action and we can
edit the data which is coming from the external action. I
prepared a detailed document with questions and also
answers and it is available on my website
http://www.questionsforinterview.com which will answer all
such questions.

Hi
call to action contains the calling the reusable and non
reusable actions scripts in to read and write mode where
the call to action is independent to the original script.
call to existing action contains the calling the only the
resuable actions script in to read only mode where the call
to existing action script is dependent to the original
script.

Answer / nagesh

When you insert a call to a copy of an action into a test,
the original action is copied in its entirety, including
checkpoints, parameterization, the corresponding action tab
in the Data Table, plus any defined action parameters. If
the test you are copying uses per-action repository mode,
the copied action's object repository is also copied
together with the action.
You can insert a call to a reusable action that is stored
in your current test (local action), or in any other test
(external action). Inserting a call to an existing action
is like linking to it. You can view the steps of the action
in the action view, but you cannot modify them.

Answer / praveena

call to action:
any action can be called with in the text and with in the
another text.we can call action by default qtp creates copy
of action

call to existing action:
it is reusable action with in the text or with in the
another text.qtp creates a link to called action and make
to statements as read only calling actions.

sowmya's answer is perfect than others.

Answer / neeraj chauhan

I think "Copy of Action" or "Call to Action" is the same
thing, if a user wants to call an external action, he/she
makes a copy of that to use it in QTP, in these terms it is
called "Call to Action".

i have read that "non-reusable actions can not be called in any other test".but in 'call to copy action' copies non-reusable action in other test also..can u pls help to understand this..
