Rajeev J - Technical Lead QA & Raghu Gooty - Senior software Engineer, First Indian Corporation

A requisite to execute cluster of test scripts from a test suite, which require changes during runtime poses a challenge to be done within a short time; this situational demand was often experienced. This paper ‘QTP™ Script Executor’ is to present a utility that provides an extended functionality using inbuilt capabilities of QTP™ Professional (QTP™).Script Executor (SE) is an endeavor to fill in the shortcomings faced during batch execution of automation script.The rich power of this is harnessed while executing script batches with different parameters and setting’s.SE can be implemented across any applications/systems that are automated using QTP™.ractitioners who are currently automating using QTP™ will be able to directly implement this and those in the process of planning automation using QTP™ will get a broad perceptive and advantages of SE.

Cross-Platform Automated Regression Test Framework (CART)

Today, cross-platform and regression testing is a critical part of virtually all software development projects. Cross-platform and regression testing are repetitive activity and are cumbersome and time consuming if done manually. Our framework provides reliable automated solutions for most of the manual tasks which reduces the time and effort of the tester to a great extent. Our framework also has the ability to support business processes like test cycle planning and defect management.
