1. What is the default Add-ins in QTP?
A. ActiveX, Visual Basic, Web, Multimedia
2. Is QTP Supports UNI-CODE?
A. Yes. UNI-CODE is a 16-bit machine understandable language.
3. How you are developing the script? Using record and play back or manual?
A. Both. Developing the Script depends on the Test Scenario.
4. How many types of recording modes are there?
A. Three modes. They are Normal, Analog, and Low-level
5. What is the difference between Analog and Low level recording?
A. Analog recording will record the Mouse & Keyboard movements with respect to the Window or Application co-ordinates. Whereas low-level recording will record the all the objects in the Application whether or not Quick Test recognizes them.
6. Where we can use the Analog Mode and where we can use the Low – level Mode?
A. Analog Mode is used for Signatures.
Low – level Mode is used when your Quick test is not recognizing certain objects in your Application.
7. Is it possible to change the values of Analog Recording?
A. No
8. How many types of Run modes are there in QTP?
A. Test Run Mode, Update Run Mode and Debug Run Mode
9. What are Test Settings and Global Settings?
A. Test Settings are settings of that particular test only.
Global Settings are settings that reflect any test in QTP.
10. How many types of Objects are there in QTP?
A. Two types. Test Objects and Run Time Objects.
11. What is test object?
A. test object are basic and generic objects that QTP recognize
12. What is Run Time Object?
A. Runtime object means the actual object to which a test object maps
13. Difference between Test Object and Run Time Object?
A. Test object are basic and generic objects that QTP recognize Runtime object means the actual object to which a test object maps
14. What is Action? How many types of Actions are there in QTP?
A. An Action is a series of operations to do some work. There are 3 types of Actions in QTP. They are i) Non-Reusable Action (default)
ii) Reusable Action
iii) External Action
15. Difference between Copy to Action and Call to Action?
A. In Copy to Action you will copy the Script of an Action and hence can make
necessary modifications to the script.
In Call to Action you are directly calling an Action either from the same test or from some other test. So, you can’t make any changes to the script. If you want to do any changes to the script, you need to go to that particular test and make changes.
16. What is an Object Repository?
A. An Object Repository is an interface between QTP script and the Application.
Quick Test stores all its objects’ information in Object Repository to identify them later.
17. What are the types of Object Repositories? Which one is u using?
A. Two types of Object Repositories are
Per-Action (default)
Shared
We are using Shared Object Repository.
18. Have you faced any problems with Object Repository?
A. Yes, you can have problems with Object repository while identifying the objects. Also, if you are using Shared Repository, then if u r changing properties of an object which u want to reflect only in that particular action, will be reflected in all other actions of that test.
19. Is it possible to merge two Object Repository files in QTP?
A. No, u can’t merge Object repository files with each other.
20. What is the difference between Per-Action and Shared?
A. Per-Action Repository will store only those objects that are recorded in that Particular action. Each Action will have its own Per-Action Repository.
Shared Repository will store all the objects that are recorded during the test
Irrespective of the Actions.
21. How QTP recognizes the Object?
A. QTP recognizes Objects through Object Repository.
22. If I change the object name in one action will it be updated in all the actions? Or not?
A. No, changes made to objects in one Action will not be reflected in any other Action.
23. How to get the particular property value?
A. Either using Object Spy or using GetTOProperty (Property Name).
24. Is it possible to change the property value at runtime? How it is possible?
A. Yes, using SetTOProperty (property name, Value)
25. If I change the property value at runtime is it effect is Object Repository?
A. No.
26. What is the parameterization? Give one example?

iii) Text Area checkpoint
iv) Page checkpoint
v) Image checkpoint
vi) Bitmap checkpoint
vii) Table checkpoint
viii) Database checkpoint
ix) XML checkpoint

30. Have u used XML check point in your project? How?
A. No
31. For example u r checking bit map check point before coming to the results. How can u say it is passed? Or failed? Anyways?
A. If the Execution has halted at a Step for more than estimated time, then u can Estimate that the check has been failed. U need not wait for the results window to come to tell whether the result is pass or fail.
32. What is text check point and text area check point?
A. Text: With Text checkpoint u can check only a single string value
Text Area: With Text Area u can check multiple rows and columns of text Strings.
33. Suppose I want fail that check point? How can u do that?

36. Do u know how to connect Database? Can u tell me the procedures?
A. Step 1: u need to create a Connection String Object
Step 2: u need to create a Record Set to hold the values from table
Step 3: Execute the Query
Step 4: Assign the values to the Record Set
Step 5: Close the Connection String
37. What is output value? How many types of output values are there in QTP?
A. Retrieving values from the Application to the Data Table. An Output value is a step in which one or more values are captured during the run session for use to another point in the run. When any of the values is needed later in the run as input, Quick test retrieves it from the specified output location.

A. Go to Keyword view, Select the Action (keep your mouse button pressed) and Drop it in the order you want. That will do it.
41. Suppose I created one object as virtual object? That object is applicable to that test? Or all the tests?
A. No, the virtual Object you created will be applicable only to that test.
42. Is virtual object supported in low level recording mode?
A. Virtual Object will be supported only in Normal Recording. Both Analog and Low Level Recording will not support Virtual Objects.
43. If created one virtual object? Next time I changed the window position will it work?
A. No, It will not work. The application or window should be in the same position as it was at the creation time of virtual object.
44. How u create new action in QTP?
A. Open QTP startup window, click on “Insert” in the menu bar, select “Call to new Action”. It will create a new Action.
