How to Export/Import tests in QTP

Test in QTP can be exported to a zipped file with all the objects. In a similar manner, test from previously exported file can be imported to a QTP test.

Export Test – A test can be exported to a zipped file following below steps

•  In QTP/UFT, Navigate to File>Export Test

• Provide the path of the location where exported zip file will be saved.

• The test is exported to a zip file saved at the location provided.

 

Import Test – Similarly we can import the test in zip file to a QTP test or solution following below steps

• In QTP/UFT, Navigate to File>Import Test.

• Provide the path of the location from where zip file will be imported.

•  Provide the path of qtp test where the zip file will be converted to a test.

How to compare arrays after sort data in Array using VBScript in QTP

In this article, we will discuss how to work with arrays explaining the below concepts:

• How to sort data in the array.

• How to compare two arrays.

• How to view elements in an array

What is the difference between ByRef and ByVal? –QTP Interview question

ByRef and ByVal are two ways to pass arguments to a function or subroutine in VBScript. Understanding the difference between two is simple.

Let us start with ByVal. Suppose a function or subroutine has an argument which accepts a variable with byval,suppose a variable x is passed as argument to the function, The value of variable does not change once the function is executed successfully.

Now let us move to ByRef. ByRef means passing value as a reference. Suppose a function or subroutine has an argument which accepts a variable with byref, suppose variable x is passed as argument to the function, The value of variable changes once the function is executed successfully.

Writing the below function in a notepad and running as a vbscript will help to differentiate ByVal and ByRef

By Ref Code:

Dim x

x= 5

call squareofNumber(x)

msgbox x

Function squareofNumber(ByRef varx)

        varx = varx*varx

        msgbox varx

End function

ByVal Code:

Dim x

x= 5

call squareofNumber(x)

msgbox x

Function squareofNumber(Byval varx)

        varx = varx*varx

        msgbox varx

End function

 By default, if we do not provide ByVal or Byref, it takes the argument as ByRef.
