UFT | QTP | Using Function Definition Generator Video Lecture | Automation Training with HPE Unified Functional Testing 12.0 - Software Testing

hello everyone welcome to the video
series on UFT automation in this video
we will look at our function definition
generator it's a pretty easy tool to you
know kind of generate a function
template and start you know coding you
know using their function let me start
you know
I mean technically you would not you
write functions here you would actually
do file new function library and then
give it a name which library temp you
get the file you can right click and
associate to the test if you want to and
then let's say here you want to you know
add a function you do design a function
definition generator and this will kind
of you know help you to kind of create a
template so that you don't have to
remember the syntax say for example I
want to do my magic function that's what
I'm going to call it that's the name of
the function and you can say whether
there's a function or a sub and if you
don't know the difference you know you
can look at the VB videos maybe
scripting videos that will explain you
and go in detail about what a function
is what a sub is there are procedures
you know function could return a value
it serve the lord return a value that's
a difference and then you know you can
define a scope if it's a public or
private if it's a private only you know
it can be called within the script if
it's a public you can call from anywhere
so you define the scope and say you know
if you want to pass arguments for this
for example let's say my first let's you
know let's make a few things a few
chains here my magic
messenger let's say with a magic
messenger and I'll say you know let's
pass a few things your name and it will
say message so it takes two arguments so
you can see it generated here and I can
register to test object was not gain to
that description this is my first
function that displays a magic message
and okay and you can you know similar to
step generator you do have an option
here says you know insert another
function so that way when you do it you
know it continues to you know keep this
dialog box open so that he can I mean to
say you know you can add more functions
so let's add another function
my magic messing here - and this only
takes name see just a little difference
and hit enter it's done so now we have
to blank you know like templates right
you have a name you know exactly where
all Givens gonna pass and the to-do item
here is the add function body here I
said you know you can start adding stuff
here so that's one way and you could
also do something like this you can say
a function on Cydia function and put hit
spacebar it automatically adds an
function you can do that as well now
this does not you know give you you know
with the by ref that which you need to
you know manually type you need to type
anyway but if you know the syntax you
don't have to go into the fog
generator I mean this firing a function
definition generator tool and then do
the whole thing you can directly once
you get a hang of it
you can probably directly add you know
these function definitions but it does
come in handy though say for example I
want to add like multiple functions you
know maybe like 20-30 functions or maybe
10 it's fine let's say I want to add one
use little standard I will do F and for
all functions I'll say transfers and you
know a lot you know a lot worried about
arguments for now and I'll just use the
standard and I do you know add oh sorry
function or sorry design and there and
then I'll do this and I'll say function
check balance insert function check x4
insert function check back in balance so
now you know this now comes in handy if
you want to you know build like 20 30 40
50 functions I mean not that you would
do 50 but you know that's it 10 15 I
mean just with the name of the function
hitting this insert it keeps inserting
you know those you know templates in
there it'll just create a shell for you
so that you can go back and define what
the function does let's say you know
repeatedly now you do this for whatever
functions you have as long as you have
the name you're done and then this you
know you can now go in there and start
you know adding your steps just replace
that line remove that and start adding
you know your steps there so it does
come in handy when you try to create
multiple functions at the same time but
if you're just creating one as I was
showing you before the
thing is this inter function in their
participants bar you get the shell layer
I mean to say the little syntax you know
auto-populated then give a name and then
you know use you know pass use arguments
here if needed
where one no and then put function
definition whatever you know you need to
do with distance function those VB
statements will go here well so that's
you know that's all about the function
definition generator nothing more to it
actually
okay well I hope you enjoyed this video
and learn something about you know EFT I
mean more specifically a function
definition generator and you know I will
see you in the next video
thank you for watching this video
thank you
