Learning Objectives
To allow the student to successfully use Quality Center immediately following the end of the class. The student will have a comprehensive understanding of tool use and potential.
Audience
Those who will advance to become proficient scripters and those who will support those activities by designing test cases &/or providing data for tests.
Prerequisites
Minimum: A basic understanding of testing.
Recommended: Basic knowledge of programming in any procedural language
.
Student Preparation
If time permits, the students should review the tutorial included with QTP. Further, reviewing VBScript programming will be valuable
Suggestions for Post Class Activities
Review the course material and redo all of the exercises.
Learn VBScript programming.
Take the Advanced QTP training course.
Duration
This is a three day course

.
Complex Verification
- Understand how we can capture values from the screen and save them in the data table
- Use the Excel spreadsheet to perform calculations or other data manipulations to increase our ability to verify our applications
- See how we can use the 'GetROProperty' method to extract data from the application

- Understand the importance of data driving
- Use the data table to input values into the script
- Manage multiple paths through your application
- Understand that the most expensive component of data driven testing is almost always the data
