If the cost automation is more than the efficiency of the
automated test suite. We decide not to automate.

Here cost does not only talk about financial cost but also
includes the efforts in automation, time spent in
autmation, maintaining the script etc.

Answer / raj kumar

Ten useful guidelines to identify Test Cases best suited for Automation:
1) Identify the tests, which call for extensive involvement of the testing engineers or the ones that would be sparingly run. These tests should be certainly dropped from the list of tests for automation.

2) Identify the application paths with high frequency of use during full-scale production run of the application. Automated testing shall be best for evaluating the performance of such application paths. These can include activities with higher volume with larger probability of failure of the software such as billing / invoicing or other customer records etc.

3) Identify the special processes having critical importance for the business like processing of sales order etc. Such strategically important activities must be identified for automated testing.
4) Identify the events requiring repetitive testing, which would be ideal for automated testing.
5) Identify the applications having longer life span during production, since automation of such applications shall provide maximum benefits.
6) Try to avoid the dynamic screens. Although we can automate them but the script tends to become too complex.
7) Try to avoid screens involving dynamic creation of objects.
8) Try to avoid business scenarios involving use of complex hardware.
9) Try to avoid scenarios, which call for complex coding for automation. Our endeavor should be to have less complex script, which would eventually be easily maintainable.

10) Try to prove the scenario with tables having provision of identifying every row by a unique number. Script complexity should be reduced while handling enterprise wide applications like price list tables etc. A complex script tends to take more time for execution especially when the table contains large number of rows for picking up the data

If a script has a local repository and also uses a shared repository, which repository will QTP use first when searching for an object during playback?

Hi, I have 2 dropdown listboxes called region and city/area. It needs to select one region(Santa Clara) and one city/Area (Sunnyvale).So I put this in the for loop and I am storing the Items in the variable called itemname. The regions value will get changed,so I used reg expression for this regions. This is my code Browser("MLSListings.com").Page("MLSListings.com").Link("» County/Area").Click Browser("MLSListings.com").Page("MLSListings.com").WebList ("regions").Check CheckPoint("regions") ListSize=Browser("MLSListings.com").Page ("MLSListings.com").WebList("regions").GetTOProperty("items count") For i = 1 To ListSize-1 Itemname =Browser("MLSListings.com").Page ("MLSListings.com").WebList("regions").GetItem(i+1) Browser("MLSListings.com").Page("MLSListings.com").WebList ("regions").Select Itemname ................. If I run the script,I am getting the following error, Cannot identify the specified item of the regions object. Confirm that the specified item is included in the object's item collection. Any Help? Thank you, Uma

I am verifying the actual vs the input value to make sure that they been entered correctly. In the Global Sheet I have a column called Customer with the multiple names in each row and now I am trying to capture the value during runtime under the column name Customer_in_Apps. Somewhat it works but during runtime the values are being stored in each column vs each row i.e., Customer_in_Apps, Customer_in_Apps1. Automatically it add columns instead of rows. row=datatable.getsheet("Global").GetRowCount for x=1 to row datatable.getsheet("Global").SetCurrentRow(x) Window("Customer Desktop").Window("Customer Tracking (Privacy").WinObject("TreeView20WndClass").Click 92,244 runtimevalue = .VbTreeView("vbname:=AppServerTree").GetROProperty("Selectio n") Val1=Datatable.Value("Customer",dtGlobalSheet) Val2 = Datatable.GlobalSheet.AddParameter("Customer_in _Apps",runtimevalue) If (trim(Val2)=trim(Val1)) Then Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Customer validation successful", "Actual Value: " &Val1&vbcrlf& "Customer Value: " &_Val2 else Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Customer validation unsuccessful", "Actual Value: " &Val1&vbcrlf& "Customer Value: " &Val2 End If Next
