What is parameterization in qtp

Testing the application by using same script with more number of inputs in qtp.

When you test your applications, you may want to check how the application performs the same operations with multiple sets of data. For

example,suppose you want to check how your Web site responds to ten separate sets of data. You could record ten separate tests, each with its own

set of data. Alternatively, you can create Data Table parameters so that your test runs ten times, each time using a different set of data.this way of setting parameters is called parameterization.

parameterize through Methods from Keyword View in qtp.

Create Blank TestCase. Goto –>Record .Open ur Flight Reservation application
Action1 :
Do the record for login (Enter Agent Name and Mercury Password).Then the script would be

SystemUtil.Run “C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\flight4a.exe”,””,”C:\Program Files\Mercury Interactive\QuickTest Professional\samples\flight\app\”,”open”
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Agent Name:”).Set “qtpparameter”
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Password:”).SetSecure “4c04981da8da89eb8a871793145df8e386047656″
Dialog(“Login”).WinButton(“OK”).Click

Action2 :
Goto insert —>Call to new action and then it would create action2.
Then go for File–>Open Order and give orger number (Ex:5) and ok.Then the script would be

Window(“Flight Reservation”).Activate
Window(“Flight Reservation”).WinMenu(“Menu”).Select “File;Open Order…”
Window(“Flight Reservation”).Dialog(“Open Order”).WinCheckBox(“Order No.”).Set “ON”
Window(“Flight Reservation”).Dialog(“Open Order”).WinEdit(“Edit”).Set “5″
Window(“Flight Reservation”).Dialog(“Open Order”).WinButton(“OK”).Click

Action3 :
Goto insert —>Call to new action and then it would create action3.
Close the Flight Reservation application.Then the script would be

Window(“Flight Reservation”).Activate
Window(“Flight Reservation”).Close

Fill the data in the global sheet. Ex:
Make the A name as Login and B name as Password
Give any name (Ex: qtpparameter for login and mercury for password)

Fill the data in the Action2. Ex:
Make the A name as Order Number
Give some numbers (Ex: 3,45,8 )

Now you look into the expert view and see the code .
There automatically code would be change

Goto–Action2–>Right Click–>Action Call Properties–>Run on all rows

Execute it.

Action 1:

Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Agent Name:”).Set DataTable(“Login”, dtGlobalSheet)
Dialog(“Login”).WinEdit(“Password:”).SetSecure DataTable(“Password”, dtGlobalSheet)
Dialog(“Login”).WinButton(“OK”).Click

Window(“Flight Reservation”).WinMenu(“Menu”).Select “File;Open Order…”
Window(“Flight Reservation”).Dialog(“Open Order”).WinCheckBox(“Order No.”).Set “ON”

Window(“Flight Reservation”).Activate
Window(“Flight Reservation”).Close

Just user need to give inputs in the corresponding GlobalData sheet (Make ‘A’ as Login and ‘B’ as ‘Password’ )in Action2 Sheet (Make ‘A’ as ‘Order No’).
