Hewlett PackardŽ QuickTest Pro Launcher (qtp.jar)

The Hewlett PackardŽ QuickTest Pro launcher allows running test generated using QuickTest Pro.



Configuration

The qtp.xml file allows pre-configuring the launcher with some default values:


Parameter Description
General
Test root path This must indicate where are located all the JMeter tests.
This is a root path. Each test in XStudio has a canonical path that will be appended to this path.
This path MUST not include an ending slash.

Default value is: C:/test_repository/tests/qtp
Windows cscript.exe path This must indicate the path to the VB interpreter included withing Windows used to run the test.

Default value is: C:/WINDOWS/system32/cscript.exe


These values can be changed while creating the campaign session from XStudio.


Requirements

The launcher will generate and execute a VB script that will open QTP and run the required test.


Tutorial: Creating and executing QTP tests

In this tutorial, we will learn to run some QTP tests.


Prerequisites

Install QTP wherever you want and create a QTP test.


Create a dedicated category for QTP tests and create a test

  • create a category QTP associated to the launcher qtp.jar
  • under this category, create (somewhere in the tree) a test with name Test1 and with a canonical path set to folder1.
  • create a couple of test cases with names first and second for this test.



Creating a test campaign

  • create a campaign including only the test Test1
  • create a campaign session using a configuration having all the default values.



Run a campaign session

Run the campaign session


After the session's execution is completed, you can look at the results from XStudio:
  • the messages indicate the failure rate and the average time to execute the queries
  • you can also check that all the qtp traces and the qtp xml report are uploaded in XStudio
