How many types of Recordings are there in QTP and what are
they?

Answer Posted / uday kumar_anem

Normal Recording mode: QuickTest's normal recording mode
records the objects in your application and the operations
performed on them. This mode is the default and takes full
advantage of QuickTest's test object model, recognizing the
objects in your application regardless of their location on
the screen.

Analog Recording mode: enables you to record the exact
mouse and keyboard operations you perform in relation to
either the screen or the application window. In this
recording mode, QuickTest records and tracks every movement
of the mouse as you drag the mouse around a screen or
window.

This mode is useful for recording operations that cannot be
recorded at the level of an object, for example, recording
a signature produced by dragging the mouse.

You cannot edit analog recording steps from within
QuickTest.

The steps recorded using Analog Recording are saved in a
separate data file. This file is stored with the action in
which the analog steps are recorded.

When you record in Analog Recording mode, QuickTest adds to
your test a ‘RunAnalog’ statement that calls the recorded
analog file.

When you record in analog mode relative to the screen, the
run session will fail if your screen resolution or the
screen location on which you recorded your analog steps has
changed from the time you recorded.

Low-level Recording mode: enables you to record on any
object in your application, whether or not QuickTest
recognizes the specific object or the specific operation.
This mode records at the object level and records all run-
time objects as Window or WinObject test objects. Use low-
level recording for recording in an environment or on an
object not recognized by QuickTest. You can also use low-
level recording if the exact coordinates of the object are
important for your test .

Each step recorded in Low-Level Recording mode is shown in
the Keyword View and Expert View. (Analog Recording records
only the one step that calls the external analog data
file.)

Hi Guys, I want to place all of my values which i am getting it from a loop in to a global shee. For that i had written the script like this For i = 1 to ECOs-1 ECO = List(i).GetROProperty("innertext") DataTable.AddSheet("ECOList") DataTable.GetSheet("ECOList").AddParameter "ECOList",ECO AbortECO = DataTable.GetSheet("ECOList").GetParameter ("ECOList").Value msgbox AbortECO DataTable.GetSheet("ECOList").SetNextRow Using the above script, whenever the loop iterates it is creating new column "ECOLIST" in the sheet called "ECOLIST". It means, the values are displaying in the column wise even though i added the script " DataTable.GetSheet("ECOList").SetNextRow" . The cursor is not moving to the next line. Anybody help me out how to pass the values from script to the excel(Global/Local) sheet. Pls let me know @ nbabu11@gmail.com if you are not clear about the question.
