Automation Object Model

♦ Automation object model is nothing but collection of objects,methods and properties which are used to perform quicktest operations.Through out this object model we can perform any operation described in QTP interface. For every option in QTP menus(Interface) have Objects,methods and properties are there in this model.

♦ AOM is the concept to automate QTP itself.

⇒Start  QTP, open an existing test and Run the Test:

Dim qtApp
Dim qtTest

'Create the QTP Application object
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application") 

'If QTP is notopen then open it
If  qtApp.launched <> True then 

qtApp.Launch 

End If 

'Make the QuickTest application visible
qtApp.Visible = True

'Set QuickTest run options
'Instruct QuickTest to perform next step when error occurs

qtApp.Options.Run.ImageCaptureForTestResults = "OnError"
qtApp.Options.Run.RunMode = "Fast"
qtApp.Options.Run.ViewResults = False

'Open the test in read-only mode
qtApp.Open "C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\Tests\trial", True 

'set run settings for the test
Set qtTest = qtApp.Test

'Instruct QuickTest to perform next step when error occurs
qtTest.Settings.Run.OnError = "NextStep" 

'Run the test
qtTest.Run

'Check the results of the test run
MsgBox qtTest.LastRunResults.Status

' Close the test
qtTest.Close 

'Close QTP
qtApp.quit

'Release Object
Set qtTest = Nothing
Set qtApp = Nothing 

---

⇒Start  QTP, open an existing test and Run the Test  And Store Run Results in Specified Folder: 

Dim qtApp
Dim qtTest

'Create the QTP Application object
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application")

---

 ⇒Open QTP and Connect to Quality Center and run QC script:

Dim qtApp ' Declare the Application object variable

'Create the QTP Application object
Set qtApp = CreateObject("QuickTest.Application") 

'If QTP is notopen then open it
If  qtApp.launched <> True then

'QC URL = QC Server path
'DOMAIN Name = Domain name that contains QC project
'Project Name =Project Name in QC you want to connect to
'Username = Username to connect to Project
'Password = Password to connect to project
'False or True = Whether ‘password is entered in encrypted or normal. 
'Value is True for encrypted and FALSE for normal

'Example : qtApp.TDConnection.Connect
