25 UFT Interview Questions and Answers 2020

1.                    What are the features and benefits of  Quick Test Pro(QTP)?

1.    Key word driven testing

2.    Suitable for both client server and web based application

3.    VB script as the script language

4.    Better error handling mechanism

5.    Excellent data driven testing features

2.                    How to handle the exceptions using       recovery scenario manager in QTP?

You can instruct QTP to recover unexpected events or errors that occurred in your testing environment during test run. Recovery scenario manager provides a wizard that guides you through the defining recovery scenario.

Recovery scenario has three steps:

1.    Triggered Events

2.    Recovery steps

3.    Post Recovery Test-Run

3.                    What is the use of Text output value in    QTP?

Output values enable to view the values that the application talks during run time. When parameterized, the values change for each iteration. Thus by creating output values, we can capture the values that the application takes for each run and output them to the data table.

4.                    How to use the Object spy in QTP 8.0     version?

There are two ways to Spy the objects in QTP

1)   Thru file toolbar: In the File Tool Bar click on the last toolbar button (an icon showing a person with hat).

2)   Thru Object repository Dialog: In Object repository dialog click on the button

“object spy…” In the Object spy Dialog click on the button showing hand symbol. The pointer now changes in to a hand symbol and we have to point out the object to spy the state of the object. If at all the object is not visible or window is minimized then hold the Ctrl button and activate the required window to and release the Ctrl button.

5.                    What is the file extension of the code file    and object repository file in QTP?

File extension of

Per test object rep: filename.mtr

Shared Object rep: filename.tsr

Code file extension id: script.mts

6.                    Explain the concept of object repository    and how QTP recognizes objects?

Object Repository: displays a tree of all objects in the current component or in the current action or entire test( depending on the object repository mode you selected).

we can view or modify the test object description of any test object in the repository or to add new objects to the repository.

Quick Test learns the default property values and determines in which test object class it fits. If it is not enough it adds assistive properties, one by one to the description until it has compiled the unique description. If no assistive properties are available, then it adds a special Ordianl identifier such as objects location on the page or in the source code.

7.                    What are the properties you would use for    identifying a browser and page when     using descriptive programming?

“name” would be another property apart from “title” that we can use. OR We can also use the property “micClass”.

ex: Browser(“micClass:=browser”).page(“micClass:=page”)

8.                    What are the different scripting languages    you could use when working with QTP?

You can write scripts using following languages:

Visual Basic (VB), XML, JavaScript, Java, HTML

9.                    Tell some commonly used Excel VBA     functions?

Common functions are:

Coloring the cell, Auto fit cell, setting navigation from link in one cell to other saving

10.                 Explain the keyword createobject with an      example?

Creates and returns a reference to an Automation object syntax: CreateObject(servername.typename [, location]) Arguments servername: Required. The name of the application providing the object. typename : Required. The type or class of the object to create. location : Optional. The name of the network server where the object is to be created.

11.                 Explain in brief about the QTP      Automation Object Model?

Essentially all configuration and run functionality provided via the QuickTest interface is in some way represented in the QuickTest automation object model via objects, methods, and properties. Although a one-on-one comparison cannot always be made, most dialog boxes in QuickTest have a corresponding automation object, most options in dialog boxes can be set and/or retrieved using the corresponding object property, and most menu commands and other operations have corresponding automation methods. You can use the objects, methods, and properties exposed by the QuickTest automation object model, along with standard programming elements such as loops and conditional statements to design your program.

12.                 How to handle dynamic objects in QTP?

QTP has a unique feature called Smart Object Identification/recognition. QTP generally identifies an object by matching its test object and run time object properties. QTP may fail to recognize the dynamic objects whose properties change during run time. Hence it has an option of enabling Smart Identification, wherein it can identify the objects even if their properties changes during run time.

13.                 What is a Run-Time Data Table? Where        can I find and view this table?

In QTP, there is data table used, which is used at runtime.

-In QTP, select the option View->Data table.

-This is basically an excel file, which is stored in the folder of the test created, its name is Default.xls by default.

14.                 How does Parameterization and Data      Driving relate to each other in QTP?

To data driven we have to parameterize. i.e. we have to make the constant value as parameter, so that in each interaction(cycle) it takes a value that is supplied in runtime data table. Through parameterization only we can drive a transaction (action) with different sets of data. You know running the script with the same set of data several times is not suggested, and it’s also of no use

15.                 What is the difference between Call to      Action and Copy Action.?

Call to Action: The changes made in Call to Action, will be reflected in the original action (from where the script is called). But where as in Copy Action , the changes made in the script ,will not effect the original script(Action)

16.                 Explain the concept of how QTP       identifies object?

During recording QTP looks at the object and stores it as test object. For each test object QT learns a set of default properties called mandatory properties, and look at the rest of the objects to check whether this properties are enough to uniquely identify the object. During test run, QTP searches for the run time objects that matches with the test object it learned while recording.

17.                 Differentiate the two Object Repository        Types of QTP?

Object repository is used to store all the objects in the application being tested.

Types of object repository: Per action and shared repository.

In shared repository only one centralized repository for all the tests. where as in per action for each test a separate per action repository is created.

18.What the differences are and best      practical application of Object      Repository?

Per Action: For Each Action, one Object Repository is created.

Shared: One Object Repository is used by entire application

19.         Explain what the difference between         Shared Repository and Per Action       Repository?

Shared Repository: Entire application uses one Object Repository , that similar to

Global GUI Map file in WinRunner

Per Action: For each Action, one Object Repository is created, like GUI map file per test in WinRunner

20.         Have you ever written a compiled      module? If yes tell me about some of the       functions that you wrote?

Sample answer (You can tell about modules you worked on. If your answer is Yes then You should expect more questions and should be able to explain those modules in later questions): I Used the functions for Capturing the dynamic data during runtime. Function used for Capturing Desktop, browser and pages.

21.         Can you do more than just capture and       playback?

Sample answer (Say Yes only if you worked on): I have done Dynamically capturing the objects during runtime in which no recording, no playback and no use of repository is done AT ALL.

-It was done by the windows scripting using the DOM(Document Object Model) of the windows.

22.         How to do the scripting. Are there any       inbuilt functions in QTP? What is the       difference between them? How to handle       script issues?

Yes, there’s an in-built functionality called “Step Generator” in Insert->Step->Step Generator -F7, which will generate the scripts as you enter the appropriate steps.

23.         What is the difference between check      point and output value?

An output value is a value captured during the test run and entered in the runtime but to a specified location.

EX:-Location in Data Table[Global sheet / local sheet]

24.         How many types of Actions are there in      QTP?

There are three kinds of actions:

Non-reusable action – An action that can be called only in the test with which it is stored, and can be called only once.

Reusable action – An action that can be called multiple times by the test with which it is stored (the local test) as well as by other tests.

External action – A reusable action stored with another test. External actions are read-only in the calling test, but you can choose to use a local, editable copy of the Data Table information for the external action.

25.         I want to open a Notepad window without      recording a test and I do not want to use       System utility Run command as well.

      How do I do this?

You can still make the notepad open without using the record or System utility script, just by mentioning the path of the notepad “( i.e. where the notepad.exe is stored in the system) in the “Windows Applications Tab” of the “Record and Run Settings window.
