what is keyword driven framework in qtp

Frame Work is the model or structure we follow for a

Project. It is the approach that we follow to automate the

Project. There are so many types of framework in QTP.

1. Datadriven frame work

2. Keyword driven frame work

3. Module driven framework

4. Hybrid driven frame work

The framework you choose, depends on the model of your

Project. Usually most of projects fall under hybrid driven

frame work.

Datadriven framework: Here we divide the entire project in

to modules and start automation by writing data drivenscripting for each one of them. We will have test data

either in excel sheet or flat files or from database...we

will pass that test data in to the script and perform data

driven testing.

Keyword driven framework:

Firstly we should add the objects to repository( Shared

repository is preferable)

Then we can generate/write scripts for each functionality

and save them as the library files ( .vbs files)

Then we have to associate all these library files(which aregenerated to test different funtionalities) to Quick Test.

Module driven frame work: we will divide entire project in

to modules and write functions or procedures for each and

every module and automate the project.

Hybrid driven framework: it is combination of Datadriven

and module driven framework.

hi this is nagesh

framework: It is generic work prepared by group of experts followed test engineers to preform a

specific task in an efficient, effective and optimized way.

keyword driven framework:

first we will preparing folder structure(env, lib, test data, repository, recovery, test script file).

and first we will manually prepare

env file: (by default qtp will create env file. env file extension .XML, (QTP>file

settings>env>click>user define>EX-name:nages, value:path of the application>save>.xml)and

export this env file in env file)

library file: first u will take notpad and u will prepare lib file lib file extension is .VBS

Test data: u will prepare test data

Test script: and u will genarating the basic script and u will split it and u will set reusabul and

saved it)recovery secnario: u will prapare recovery secnario

if possible u will prpare rgular expressions file

and

u will take new page

and u will set in datatable some name like keys in that column u will prepare some variables

ex:k1, k2. k3

after u will write in expert view

varibule name=datatabl("keys")

and u will create select case andu will

associate lib file, ev file, recovery file,and

u will create case function and run

Data-driven testing is a methodology used in Test automation

where test scripts are executed and verified based on the

data values stored in one or more central data sources or

databases. These databases can range from datapools, ODBC

sources, csv files, Excel files, DAO objects, ADO objects, etc.

Keyword-driven testing or Table-driven testing is a Software

testing methodology as part of the Test automation

discipline that separates the programming work from the

actual Test script so that the test scripts can be developed

without knowledge of programming. As a result the test

scripts can be maintained with only minor updates, even when

the application or testing requires significant changes.
