Lesson Objectives

• In this lesson, you will
• Translate the Tree View into the script form of
  the test
• Identify QuickTest functions from VBScript
  operations and functions
• Observe the flexibility of test scripts modified
  using the Expert View

3
When to Use the Expert View and VBScript

• Use the Expert View when test requirements cannot
  be satisfied from the Tree View.

4
Whats Underneath the Tree View?
The edit fieldis contained in the page that is
inside the browser.

The edit fieldis contained in the page that is
inside the browser.

• Each line of code is fully qualified
• The Expert View allows more flexibility than the
  Tree View as it shows all the arguments per
  object on each line of code

6
The Expert View is Editable

• Add non-recordable statements to the test
• Retrieve information from an object
• Perform operations on an object

An object can set a property or perform a
function.

Important Utility Functions

• Enable you to control test run and send messages
  to the test results file
• Not associated with any object

10
Using Programming Functions and Logic

• Add VBScript to the test to perform the following
  actions
• Variable declarations
• Date functions
• Decision-making and loop conditions
• Calculations

11
QuickTest for Scripting Process

• Analyze the test requirements.
• What do I need to test?
• What are the objects I need to investigate?
• What QuickTest methods or properties can I use to
  handle the objects (import data, iterate the
  test, report the results)?
• What programming conventions will best meet the
  requirement (loop, a conditional statement, a
  counter)?
• What variables do I need to define?
• Write the code to meet test requirements.
• Adhere to VBScript syntax and programming
  conventions.
• Use comments to add documentation in the script.
• Use the online QuickTest and VBScript references
  to help you with functions and syntax.
